As we told you earlier today, former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer predicted that the lib media would do its best to cover for the Obama administration and Dems now that Attorney General Barr has said he’s going to look into FBI surveillance of the Trump administration ahead of the 2016 election:
‘This is a big deal’: Ari Fleischer makes a prediction now that the ‘allegations are against the Obama Admin’ https://t.co/aCIDT5usSG

Today is the day the shoe moved to the other foot. This is a big deal. For two years, the media breathlessly covered, and acquiesced to, allegations against Trump, no matter how absurd. Now the allegations are against the Obama Admin. Why do I think the coverage wil be different? https://t.co/rL037rzDUK

Former Obama spox Jay Carney responded this way:

Fleischer thanked Carney for helping make the point:
Jay, whose work as a Time Magazine reporter was hard to distinguish from his work on behalf of Dem candidates and the Obama Administration, proves my point. The press will be loath to cover an investigation of the O Admin the same way they relished covering charges vs Trump. https://t.co/HVMkQGvhV1

Here’s Carney’s response:
What utter bunk, Ari. Most of your colleagues in the Bush 43 White House would disagree with you about my work covering President Bush – then again, they disagree with you on most issues these days.

Hey, if nothing was done wrong during the Obama administration, they shouldn’t mind an investigation into their actions. Isn’t that how the rules work these days?
