As Twitchy told you earlier, AG Bill Barr testified today that he believes “spying did occur” on Donald Trump’s campaign. That comment’s got the media in hysterics, because the mere suggestion that Barack Obama’s legacy is anything less than pristine is apparently just beyond the pale.
But it’s not just the media who are upset; their fellow Democrats are beside themselves, too. Adam Schiff is going after Barr now, and he’s joined in unhinged anger by Nancy Pelosi:
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she doesn't trust Attorney General William Barr, and she suggests his congressional testimony Wednesday undermines his independence as the nation's top law enforcement officer.https://t.co/jRFhZOKJFH

Somebody’s going off the rails, all right … but it’s probably not Bill Barr.
Pelosi says she DOES NOT think that Barr will be able to conduct an investigation into the Russia investigation fairly.

PELOSI on AG Barr: “It is very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer in our country is going off the rails yesterday and today. He is the Attorney General of the United States of America not of Donald Trump.”

Isn’t this fun?
More from the AP:
Asked what would satisfy Democrats, Pelosi said: “I’ll be satisfied when we have a new president of the United States who is a Democrat.”
Based on the way things are going so far, it looks like Nancy Pelosi won’t be satisfied for a very, very long time.
