Barr Points to the True Culprit—Comey’s FBI Team
Attorney General William Barr’s statement exculpating the CIA, rather than disappointing, is in fact hopeful for all who treasure equal justice for both sides of the political fence.

Many observers were surprised, and some disappointed, that recently departed Attorney General William Barr exonerated the CIA in the criminally abusive campaign against candidate and later President Donald Trump. In fact, Barr has prevented James Comey’s FBI team from finger-pointing its way out of stomach-turning criminal wrongdoing.
The belief that the CIA was strongly implicated in abusive spying on Americans in Trump’s campaign flowed naturally from the facts published, which of course did not include all pertinent classified information. But possible CIA implication, while comforting to those who decried Director John Brennan’s strident partisanship, may have given the smugly dissembling James Comey a way to escape.
Let’s look at one example: the setup of lowly Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos in Spring 2016, through approaches by “the Professor†Joseph Mifsud. We now know that Hillary Clinton had long planned a “Russian disinformation†claim against Trump, to counter ugly allegations likely to arise about Clinton’s criminality should Russia choose to release emails hacked from her server. Although corrupt dealings between foreign actors and the Clinton Foundation have been widely suspected, truly damning emails were never released, demonstrating the wise restraint of a hostile foreign power seeking to gain leverage on a person sure to be elected.
But as a prophylactic, Mifsud had sought out Papadopoulos in late March 2016, accompanied by the beautiful “Putin’s niece.†“Setup†communications about a possible Trump meeting with Putin, brokered by the supposedly Russian-connected Mifsud, were seeds planted in the event Russian collusion claims were necessary to fend off the feared Russian release of inculpatory emails.
