    FBI Director Chris Wray said Tuesday that he would not describe the federal government's surveillance, such as that conducted on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, as "spying," as Attorney General William Barr has.

    During a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Wray was asked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., about Barr's statement last month that "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign.


    "I was very concerned by his use of the word spying, which I think is a loaded word," Shaheen said. "When FBI agents conduct investigations against alleged mobsters, suspected terrorists, other criminals, do you believe they're engaging in spying when they're following FBI investigative policies and procedures?"

    "That's not the term I would use," Wray said of "spying." "So, I would say that's a no to that question."

    Asked if he had "any evidence that any illegal surveillance" into the Trump 2016 campaign occurred, Wray said he did not.

    "I don't think I personally have any evidence of that sort," Wray said.

    Deep state. Obama has an under age sex slave dungeon in his basement. In the basement of his pizza joint. Did you know he owns a pizza joint? It's called "Huessein Pizza and Skeet Ball." Very popular with the youngs. Need to focus on the important real news....

    I think we knew that.
    Barr is a lackey.
