Top Senate Democrats are now calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to walk back his ‘spying’ allegation.
Bill Barr sent the Democrats and their stenographers in the media into a tailspin on Wednesday when he said Trump’s 2016 campaign was spied on.
“I think spying did occur,” Barr said during a Senate hearing. “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated and I am not suggesting that it wasn’t adequately predicated but I need to explore that. I think it’s my obligation… I am not suggesting those rules were violated, but I think it is important to look at that. And I am not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a tweet Wednesday afternoon accused Bill Barr of spreading conspiracy theories and demanded Barr “retract his statement or produce specific evidence to back it up.”
Careful what you wish for Chuck — Barr is investigating Russiagate!
AG Barr admitted he had no evidence to support his claim that spying on the Trump campaign “did occur.”
AG Barr must retract his statement immediately or produce specific evidence to back it up.
Perpetuating conspiracy theories is beneath the office of the Attorney General.

Stolen Valor Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal (D-CT) also attacked Bill Barr on Wednesday in a statement and demanded he retract and apologize.
Blumenthal said that Barr had “demanded himself” by “carelessly acting as a mouthpiece for President Trump’s conspiracy theories,” reported The Hill.
“Attorney General Barr must retract his unfounded, irresponsible claim that American law enforcement ‘spied’ on the Trump Campaign. The only spies interfering in the 2016 campaign were Russian ones,” Blumenthal said.
Da Nang Dick added that Barr’s comments have a “real, measurable impact on the lives and safety of our men and women in law enforcement. He owes them a retraction and an apology.”
House Speaker Pelosi also freaked after Barr said Obama’s goons spied on Trump’s 2016 campaign and accused the AG of “going off the rails.”
The screeching Democrats are upset that they no longer have control over the Justice Department which is why they are attacking Bill Barr and claiming he is spreading conspiracy theories about Spygate.
