Comey questions Barr's 'spying' claim: 'I don't know what the heck he's talking about'
Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that he had "no idea" what Attorney General William Barr meant when he testified that he believed that government spied on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
"I have no idea what he's talking about, so it's hard for me to comment," Comey said in response to a question at the Hewlett Foundation conference. "Maybe the only thing I can say generally is — I think that his career has earned him the presumption that he will be one of the rare Cabinet members who will stand up for things like truth and facts, and institutional values."
He added, "So I still think he's entitled to that presumption. Language like this makes it harder, but I still think he's entitled to that presumption. And because I don't know what the heck he's talking about, that's all I can say."
At a Senate subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, Barr, defending his decision to order a review of the Trump-Russia probe's origins, said government "spying" on Trump's 2016 campaign "did occur," raising questions about inappropriate surveillance and whether the FBI followed its own rules.

Well you're not alone Comey. Barr doesn't know what he's talking about either.
