Comey: 'We Did Not Spy---We Just Observed And Reported Secretly Without The Subject's Knowledge Or Consent'
2019-04-14
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐After Attorney General Barr suggested that the FBI and other agencies spied on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, former FBI director James Comey fired back.

"We did not spy," he told reporters as he stretched for his morning yoga class. "We just observed and reported secretly without the subject's knowledge or consent."

"See, I've never considered that spying," he added as he formed the "downward dog" pose. "That's just kind of secret watching. It's definitely not the same thing. When you spy, you watch someone without their knowledge. When you secret-watch, you just kind of secretly watch them."

"If we redefined spying to include all secret watching, we would have to include all the watching of American citizens on a daily basis as spying, and that probably wouldn't be good for our public image."

He then asked reporters if they would take a picture of him looking p ensively up at the trees.

#4  Ah, the Babylon Bee, goes good with a.m. cofee.

Commie's defense is that he was a voyeur and that'scoffee. Creepy guy.

He has no idea what Barr was talking about? Another reason for his firing. He was totally incompetent.

#3  It's not spying, because spying is something you do to foreign powers and they're too much gutless cowards to do that. That's how Russia has been able to do donuts in our back yard in Venezuela for the last twenty years. (Figuratively speaking).

Strange isn't it? Nearly everyone else has a fairly good idea.

Any different than the Legacy Infotainment Enterprises and the connection of Venezuela and socialism? /rhet question
