Attorney General Bill Barr’s testimony had some moments that weren’t welcome by Dems, but they can usually count on some in the media to help put a fresh shine on their preferred spin. Mollie Hemingway commented on a couple such instances by injecting some reality into the spin:
2 points on Barr and "spying":
1) The use of "spying" is obviously a loaded term — and one Trump favors
2) Surveillance of Carter Page came AFTER he left the Trump campaign. https://t.co/Uc3yoLNFCN

One of the big barriers to transparency and accountability? The media itself, discredited by their involvement in the collusion conspiracy, and running interference for those who used intelligence tools against political opponents. https://t.co/zMCTlWDQHq

And then a CNN reporter’s take:
Barr comments here bound to please Trump, who has railed on the handling of the Russia probe. “I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr said. He said he’s “not suggesting those rules are violated” and wants to know what happened. “I think spying did occur.”

Barr comments here bound to displease CNN and other media outlets, who have enabled and participated in the handling of the Russia probe. https://t.co/hoD2OlWssQ

The Left’s narrative on the 2016 election continues to fall down all around them (and maybe even right on top of their heads), but the lib media will be there for the Dems every step of the way.
Lordy, the scrambling going on right now.

The amount of wagon-circling is indeed amazing.
Excellent, the truth will all come out. Barr is the right one to carry this to fruition.
