NEW: FBI Director Wray says “spying” didn't occur on Trump campaign, despite AG Barr’s characterization: “That's not the term I would use.”

FBI Director Chris Wray said Tuesday that he would not describe the federal government’s surveillance, such as that conducted on President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, as “spying,” as Attorney General William Barr has.

During a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Wray was asked by committee member Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., about Barr’s“I was very concerned by his use of the word spying, which I think is a loaded word,” Shaheen said.

💩

You need to tell your bosses this they don’t get it or just don’t want to get it!

Wish there were more people inside the beltway with his kind of courage.

Barr is an assclown

Surveillance what's the damn difference

Spying... Mr Wray

Now everyone will start to distance themselves from the liars like Trump and Barr. The truth will come out...

So the FBI director doesn’t know what spying is. Sad to see the FBI at such a low point.

Misleading narrative sickening

Meanwhile Democrats, continue to Murder American Citizens via their Open Border Policy. DemocratsKillAmericans

THAT's NOT WHAT HE SAID! He said it was a matter of interpretation of WORDS. he would use the word surveillance IF IT WAS DONE ACCORDING TO THE RULES & Regs! Which we know it was NOT! JudicialWatch Again has to ad lib their opinion into every story! SAD! Leave 'fake news'

neverquiet1 Oh, time for a new FBI director again I guess

Who gives a shit what 'term' he would use. My mom uses the term 'diet' while I prefer 'nutritionally challenged' At the end of the day we all know the bottom line. Bottom line...they were fucking SPYING. Don't be so obtuse.

Inciteful hyperbolic rhetoric isn’t for everyone I guess.

This title is fake news

Obviously it did. We aren’t stupid.

DontGetItTwisted... 👺SADISM👹 EGREGIOUS...LAWLESSNESS🤬🤬🤬

Job ad coming soon to a new FBI director. 'The candidate must declare loyalty to the president even at the cost of one's stellar integrity. Must be willing and able to lie on command. Be committed to look the other way on anything and everything the president does or will do.'

Trump's usual negative s pin. Except when it's about something he's done, then it's wonderful.

So it was just surveillance?

Now your misleading

hardball Investigations aren’t spying.

Wait, so Barr was lying for the President? Thats unconscionable.

NEW; Whitehouse to supeona all of Congress to release all tax records from last 5 yrs (CNN sources)

That’s NOT what he said. He said “I don’t ‘personally’ have any evidence.” Whatever that translation is in swamp language. Just let’s you guys have that headline that’s for sure.

Spoiler: Trump was spied on.

He's the boss! He's obviously trying to cover for his ppl, why would he publically throw his ppl under the bus as their boss? So he will quibble over words n brain dead Dems will eat it up like candy

You can bet the house Trump will tell Barr to fire Wray for not being a team player.

AG should be ashamed of himself.

This is one of the remaining honest men working in DOJ!

Word games.... just like executive assistant is still secretary 🙄

About time somebody spoke.

Asked if he had “any evidence that any illegal surveillance” into the 2016 Trump campaign occurred, the FBI director said he did not: “I don't think I personally have any evidence of that sort.'

Sen. Cory Booker: Trump AG Barr has lost credibility, must resignTrump Attorney General Bill Barr is refusing to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, just hours after testifying before the Senate. Barr was forced to defend himself after the release of a letter Mueller wrote to him in March, that suggested Barr misled the public with his four-page summary. 2020 candidate Senator Cory Booker tells The Beat Barr “has burned through any credibility he had” and “he should resign”. If you believe the president is above the law Barr did a great job. If you believe our founding fathers and no one is above the law Barr should resign and trump impeached! History. Does. Not. Matter. To. Him. I'm so tired of empty calls for people to resign. If the guy isn't doing his job Congress should impeach him.
