This seems to be a three sides to the reports when it comes to Trump's assertion that his campaign was "spied on" by the FBI. The first is the DOJ IG, the second Durham and then Barr. Now I look at the three and who do I believe?
First there is the IG who is a nonpartisan. His report says no spying but some mistakes made by the FBI in one of their FISA warrants. Ever been inspected by an IG, I can tell you they always find something wrong, but this seems like a minor detail when the IG is saying that the investigation was based on the facts and was above board.
Then we have Barr, a Trump supporter extraordinaire. He is certainly not by any standards nonpartisan. And he could also be in trouble for stating there was spying when testifying before congress. He says that the IG's report is false, even though he really knows nothing but his wish to protect Trump.
Finally we come to Durham. Even though there was an appropriate DOJ IG investigation into the matter, Barr could not rely on that report to say as he and Trump wanted, so he hand picked Durham. Durham again can not be considered as nonpartisan as he was Barr's choice and Barr would not pick anyone who would not give him the answers he wanted. Of course to no one's surprise the hand picked choice of Barr again does not agree with the IG and You can be assured his report will say there was "spying".
So who should I believe, the one person who is nonpartisan and does this for a living, the hand picked partisan investagator, or the Barr, both partisan and acting as Trump's lawyer rather than the AG? I think I will stick to the DOJ IG, but of course all of the Trumpsters will believe Barr and his hand picked crony
