In a nutshell the way I see this whole Barr thing, and please tell me if I'm wrong...

Somebody got surveilled while our intelligence agencies were looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Now, instead of concentrating on what was discovered in that surveillance, Trump's team is trying to cast aspersions on the surveillance itself, claiming that it might not have been done legally. And, while this is going on, no one is allowed to see an unredacted copy of the Mueller report, most likely because whatever is in it was obtained by the very surveillance effort those covering for Trump want to discredit. This is what my tiny lib- tard is coming up with.

Paul Manafort and Carter Page are known Russian agents who have been under NSA surveillance for years while working for the Kremlin. That surveillance routinely continued after Putin sent them to manage the Trump campaign.

But, it sure sounds like our intelligence agencies had good reason to be doing what they were doing. If Trump's campaign got caught up in it we have a right to know.
