Faux Attorney General Barr says its all "faux outrage".

[procon]

Whitehouse criticized Barr's use of the word "spying" to describe legitimate investigative activity, noting that it isn't a word commonly used by DOJ. Barr quipped: "It's commonly used by me." Barr added that "spying is a good English word" and notes that prior to all the "faux outrage" the press used it routinely.

In response to Whitehouse’s comments, Barr separately said that he regularly refers to appropriate government surveillance activities as “spying” and does not consider the word pejorative. He added that there has been “faux outrage” over his use of the word to describe activities performed against the Trump campaign.

1. The Republican party is a danger to the security of the USA.

The cover ups are piling and backfiring. Republicans will be held accountable.

2. The words of the AG must be chosen carefully

He is, after all, the most powerful lawyer in the country.

To dissemble in this manner shows that he is playing to the FOX crowd, the lowest common denominator, the fools who believe whatever sounds sensible to them, even if muttered by someone who knows better.

This isn't a hearing on whether Americans want to press forward. It's a hearing on the merits. Impeachment will be the same. So will indictments and convictions.
