Comey: "I've Never Thought" Of Electronic Surveillance As Spying
RCP Video ^ | 4-11-2019 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 04/12/2019 6:30:39 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday ...

"With respect to Barr's comments, I really don't know what he's talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign," Comey said. "It's very concerning because the FBI, the Department of Justice conduct court-ordered electronic surveillance. I have never thought of that as spying."

It looks as though he’s been doing wrong for so long that he’s lost sight of right from wrong. I guess that’s what happens when the plumb line gets pushed out of alignment. You end up with a crooked house.

No, Comey, the court didn't "order" anything, it granted permission for FBI-REQUESTED ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE based on unverified information THAT YOU SWORE TO WAS VERIFIED.

It was not “court ordered”. It was authorized by the court based on false information. The FBI ordered the spying after it obtained permission from the court. Just because you get a warrant does not mean you must serve it.

“Court Ordered” is the new talking point. It was not court ordered. It was ordered by Comey and McCabe and authorized by the FISA court based on fake information.

If it were done to him, I expect he’d say something different. What does he think ... that spying solely involves a pair of binoculars?

“I’ve Never Thought” Of Electronic Surveillance As Spying.

Now its just a farce.

Better to be silent, and leave people wondering if you are lying, that to try such outrageous BS, and remove all doubt.

Right up there with “It depends on what the meaning of is is.”

I love that Trump fired him as he was running an FBI training on “diversity.” A perfect example of what an empty-headed nitwit he is. Imagine having to work for this block of wood.

Maybe Comey wants to compete with Maxine Waters and AOC for Internet memes.

Comedy Gold.

Stefan Halper was a spy they ran. They tried to infiltrate him into the Trump campaign, where he could plant activity with Russians.

If it’s not spying, let’s adapt his environment a little. Lets put A less in every room of his house, also cameras and maybe he needs a body can 24 hours a day.
