From almost the moment he was nominated as President Trump’s attorney general, the question has been whether William P. Barr would do Trump’s bidding. “I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”When pressed by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) on whether he indeed viewed it as “spying” on Trump’s campaign, Barr said, “I think spying did occur.”“The question is whether it was adequately predicated,” he said. That is a highly disputed term when it comes to what the FBI did relative to the Trump campaign in 2016. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials. “No, they were not.”At another point in the same interview, Clapper seemed to momentarily borrow the term Trump was using.
