“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr says, explaining why he’s ordered an investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation at the FBI and intelligence agencies. “I think spying did occur,” he adds when Sen. Shaheen asks for clarification.Во время президентской избирательной кампании я писал про convergence of the talking points кампании Трампа и России. И ничего, нормально прошло. Даже успешно.
The convergence of the talking points of the Office of the Attorney General and George Papadopoulos is really something to behold.

Either Barr isn’t aware that the FISA on Carter Page came after he left the campaign, or he’s indicating in an open hearing that the FBI had other open FISAs in 2016.Update: LOL:
And then adds later that he has no evidence he can cite right now of FBI wrongdoing.
At the end of the hearing, Barr backed off his most sensational claim.Так что случилось? "Spying did occur", но это был proper, заслуженный spying? Отличный AG!
“I am not saying that improper surveillance occurred. I am saying that I am concerned about it and I’m looking into it,” AG Barr clarifies bear the end of his Senate Appropriations testimony.

В федеральные судьи сестру Трампа пристроил Рой Кон, о котором недавно вспоминали.
According to a person involved in the effort to appoint Ms. Barry, who discussed the clandestine strategy on the condition of anonymity, Mr. Trump had his lawyer, Roy M. Cohn, a politically connected former counsel to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, lobby Edwin Meese III, then a senior White House aide, to put his sister on the bench.
“I’m no different than any other brother that loves his sister,” Mr. Trump said when asked about Mr. Cohn’s pressure on the Reagan administration. “My sister got the appointment totally on her own merit.”
Ms. Barry herself has given her brother some of the credit for her appointment. “There’s no question Donald helped me get on the bench,” she was quoted as saying in Gwenda Blair’s “The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire.” “I was good, but not that good.”

One of Seymour’s notes describes Cohn’s efforts to advance the judicial career of Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, who served as a federal appeals-court judge for decades, until stepping down soon after Trump assumed the Presidency: “Roy got the White House to give her her judgeship,” Seymour writes. “Roy was out and the call came in to tell her she got it. I took the call and called her to tell her. Ten minutes later, Donald called to say thank you.”

Сам Кон принципиально не платил налогов, за что его расследовал нынешний адвокат Трампа. После его смерти, все имущество Кона было конфисковано IRS в счёт неуплаченных налогов.
According to the complaints filed by U.S. Attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, Cohn owes taxes, interest and penalties dating back to 1959. In 1967, the complaints allege, Cohn bought a Manhattan town house and transferred title to an "alter ego" called the "39 East 68th Street Corporation." Cohn paid the mortgage through "fraudulent" fund transfers, the complaints allege.
According to the charges, Bolan, other colleagues and the law firm "knowingly concealed" Cohn's interest to help him avoid federal tax liens.
A similar scheme was set up for Cohn's Greenwich home, according to the complaints.
Cohn's battles over the years with tax collectors and bill collectors have been highly publicized. In two 1978 tax court agreements, Cohn acknowledged owing $233,268 in federal taxes, but when the IRS came to collect, it found no assets in his name.
Cohn's extravagant and well-publicized life style was supported by a $500,000 annual expense account provided by his law firm instead of a salary, the government charged.
Cohn has used the no-assets, no-income defense to avoid paying more than $500,000 in back taxes claimed by New York state and New York City. In addition, he has yet to pay court judgments of $5.2 million in private civil suits.
