GOP ready to step up spying case

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

GOP lawmakers returning to Washington are signaling they intend to step up their campaign to look into alleged spying by FBI agents on President Trump's 2016 campaign.

The effort comes as Democrats ramp up their own investigations into the Trump administration and could serve as a bit of GOP counterprogramming to put the spotlight on what Republicans contend is suspicious behavior under the Obama administration.

Two Senate chairmen previewed the coming GOP efforts with a recent letter to Attorney General William Barr, who raised eyebrows when he publicly asserted he believed the Trump campaign was spied on and said he would review the intelligence community’s actions to ensure no improper surveillance occurred.

Democrats were surprised and angered Barr used the word "spying" to describe surveillance the FBI did during its investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, accusing him of promoting a GOP talking point.

Because fucking with the FBI worked out so well for Nixon.

2. They have Rosenstein and Wray in their pockets . .

But, I believe Democrats do have documents that can prove that the GOPs are lying (what else is new). The GOP is doing their best to cover up what really happen in 2016, ergo - stealing, cheating, voter suppression and playing footsie with foreign unfavorable countries. Bring it on.

3. Trump just wants to control the narrative,

the narrative in the complicit M$M will be the crooked FBI, Democrats, Hillary, carried on a witch hunt against Trump. Trump is preparing to put Hillary on the ballot again in 2020.

Meanwhile, if Democrats had chosen to hold impeachment hearings, they could have controlled the narrative.

So be it, Barr and Grassley are getting ready to investigate the FBI and Democrats while Democrats are getting no documents nor people to show up for hearings, but hey, we aren't there yet, Republicans haven't anointed Trump king yet.
