(CNN) Attorney General William Barr isn't shy about making big claims when it comes to the FBI's counterintelligence probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Under questioning, again on Capitol Hill, earlier this month, Barr refused to walk back the claim . "I'm not going to abjure the use of the word 'spying,'" he told Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D). And now, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal this week, Barr is going even further. While Barr says he doesn't put any "pejorative" meaning on the word "spying," the head of the FBI -- Christopher Wray -- clearly does.
