For President Trumps reelection effort, Investigate the investigators! is becoming the new Lock her up!
Trump and his allies, seeking to amplify claims that the FBI spied on his 2016 campaign, are seizing on news reports and statements by Attorney General William P. Barr to launch a political rallying cry they view as an antidote to special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs findings.
Dismissed by critics as an outlandish conspiracy theory, so-called spygate is fast becoming a central feature of the Trump campaign as it seeks to go on offense in the wake of a report that identified 10 instances of potential obstruction of justice by Trump. The campaign is publicly calling for criminal investigations into former FBI officials, making spygate fundraising pitches and selling spy-themed merchandise. The goal, officials said, is to turn the Russia probe into a political winner that could help him secure another term.
After two years of [investigations] and being vindicated, and now in fact the tables are turning in that the investigators will be investigated, theres a certain amount of righteous indignation thats warranted, said Tim Murtaugh, communications director for Trumps reelection bid. The president has already shown that he wants to talk about it. Hes been tweeting about it. Im sure hell talk about it at rallies. Its something that the campaign will continue to point to.

Both Flynn and Papadopoulos pled guilty. You can't say there was nothing there.

The right deludes itself it won't happen.
The Mueller Report is ours, and we paid for it. If they have nothing to hide but a few thousand facebook ads, then, this should go quickly. Arresting barr means he gets taken in. It's not like nazi germany(yet) where the atty general gets shot for treason. He'll get his day in court. Nobody get trigger happy. Who would die for trump?
Heather Heyer. Unforgivable.
