Oh FFS Bryan, Wray admitted that there was eavesdropping on the campaign, and we know the FBI inserted undercover operatives to infiltrate the campaign. Wray didn't like the use of the word "spying", is that not splitting hairs?

In your words Bryan, what's the difference between "spying", and what was done to the Trump campaign?

And the Attorney General, I believe, is Christopher Wrays boss, and he did use the term "spying" what does he know...

I would call it an investigation on suspicious contacts between a campaign and a foreign adversary.

As far as Barr, forgive me for distrusting a guy who auditioned in public for this job by writing an unsolicited memo for an audience of one on why president's can't be indicted....

ok. if the fbi used wiretaps
to eavesdrop on the campaign, and if they used undercover operatives to infiltrate, how is that different from spying?

electronic surveillance isn’t spying?

when you are resorting to suggesting that wiretaps and undercover agents are not the tools
of spying, then you have serious, serious TDS.

i cannot believe you are differentiating between spying and surveillance. this is where rational conversation isn’t possible anymore.

The Director of the FBI just made a clear public distinction admonishing his boss and his bosses boss in the process.

Perhaps he's got TDS also?

my 12 year olds texts to make sure he’s safe, that’s spying.

i read that he said
it wasn’t spying. i didn’t see him differentiate between spying and what happened.

did you read my question? I asked YOU why eavesdropping and use of informants, is different from spying. please explain the difference between what they did to trump, and spying?

we’re in the twilight zone.
