Why does AG Barr deserve the benefit of the doubt and labels like "institutionalist" when he's out here today sounding like a crazy conspiracy theorist?

I agree. He is spouting extreme political talking points. He sounds like a right wing congressman not the AG of the DOJ.
@MalcolmNance
WARNING: Now the REAL Trump-Russia scandal. Barr is now openly preparing to cover up Trump & Russia’s malfeasance by investigating Obama admin & FBI for doing their duty detecting an insider attack on the country. The DOJ is now a Dictator’s Weapon.
@Amy_Siskind
Trump is using the word “coup.”
Barr is saying he will investigate FBI leaders. Things are escalating and Barr is very much in sync.
@AdamBlickstein
The Attorney General is calling his own department's legitimate law enforcement operations that were approved impartial judges "spying." Barr is just as dangerous to the rule of law as Trump
@maxbergmann
Barr just went full Nunes - accuses intel agencies of "spying" on Trump's campaign.
@PalmerReport
Donald Trump's day so far:
- Bizarre meltdown about George Washington
- William Barr is even more corrupt than we thought
- Democrats will unearth the Mueller report anyway
- Trump says he "won" the Mueller probe
- Trump's prize will be going to prison
- It's still only 11:20am

Bill Barr is just as much a political hack as Whitaker was...he just sweats less and plays better games. That's actually scary.
@AmandiOnAir
The crony Attorney General of the United States William Barr just accused the @FBI of “spying” on the Trump campaign.
William Barr’s loyalty is not to the Constitution nor the American people.
William Barr has confirmed today he serves & is loyal to @realDonaldTrump.
@JamesSurowiecki
Barr's repeated use of the word "spying" is totally calculated. It sounds much more sinister than "surveillance," which is the word you would normally use to describe a law-enforcement agency's authorized actions. He's trying to make the FBI sound like the Stasi.

Why is it so hard for the Libs to accept that they were spying, when the evidence is clear that they were?

Great news! The more these losers attack him the closer he is. Barr is on the march!

Total morons. All of them. It’s so bad part of me thinks they’re actually right wing puppet accounts trying to make the left look stupid, but they’re actually that stupid!

You could argue that spying is unauthorized and surveillance is authorized.
With that said it's pretty important that Barr looks into the unauthorized surveillance (without a FISA warrant, aka spying) into the Trump campaign by the Obama administration.
We can't let this happen again.

Lefties believe they are perfect and exempt from all laws. Of course its hard for them to reconcile the fact they are being of accused of wrongdoing.
"HOW DARE YOU!" type reactions are all the left knows.

The only real questions left to answer are what did Odumbf*ck know and when did he know it.
Of course, we know the answer to that. He coordinated and led the entire spying operation.

Remember when they called us wild conspiracy theorists for suggesting Halper was a spy, and then yesterday the NYT writes in an article he was in fact spying on the Trump campaign

That's because the FBI was behaving like the STASI

TPA posts a lot of song lyrics, so I figured I'd share some from one of my songs that should be getting recorded in the next couple months. This is an excerpt from "A New Lie On Your Lips"
Basically, we each see the world through the prism of our own experiences. Those experiences create biases and expectations which may or may not be reality. When the world presents information that flies in the face of our pre-conceived notions of the world, we have a tendency to reject that information. We would rather believe the lie than accept a new truth.
However, deep inside us, our subconscious can feel the tension between what is real and what we choose to believe. We can feel a cognitive dissidence and it makes us angry. Rather than change our worldview, we tend to rage against whomever is presenting the new information, accusing them of lies and of attacking us. The world isn't allowing us to feel what we believe we are entitled to feel, so IT must be wrong, not us. We need something to feel, so we feel anger and hatred.
This cognitive dissidence between our expectations and reality not only creates a feeling of anger and resentment, but also one of deep discontent and unsettledness. We go back to those expectations, and seeing that our lives don't match them, we assume we must be entitled to something more, something different, so we rage against our situation and try to change it...all without changing the warped worldview and out of wack expectations in the first place.
These people KNOW Trump is corrupt and evil and that their side is good. Orange man HAS to be bad! That means they will reject any information counter to that narrative as being lies and personal attacks. They will seek to destroy all of those who attack their worldview with the truth because it's not THEIR truth.
ETA: Shameless plug: if you want to hear that song live, and you live in South Louisiana or coastal Mississippi, like Bayou Bullets on social media and check out our events to see when we'll be playing near you. We'll be at Mid City Ballroom in BR tomorrow night starting at 8:30.

Inside ourselves
Within our hearts
We analyze our world
We create our own conciousness
We think therefore we are
We believe
And such becomes so
Perceptions color truth
Truth becomes deception
Tat deception yields lies
Lies condescension
We lock the doors to our own cells
For our own dreams we fell
Agony, agony, agony, agony
Inside ourselves
Deep inside the darkness
We can't assuage the rage
We can't dissuade the loneliness
Longing For, Pining for
Anything to feel, just to feel
Where went those dreams?
Or were those our nightmares?
We can't rationalize reality
Our destiny must lie elsewhere
All hope's a siren's song
And at the chorus we sing along
Is this all?
