This is probably the dumbest line of questioning yet from Democrats:
Attorney General Barr says criticism of his use of the word “spying” to describe investigative activity is “faux outrage.” pic.twitter.com/HruomLYQ0B

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse doesn’t like Barr’s use of the word ‘spying’ from his hearing a few weeks ago where he indicated that the Obama FBI spied on the Trump campaign.
But Barr proceeds to take Whitehouse to school over the word itself, explaining that the word ‘spying’ doesn’t have a pejorative meaning and that he wasn’t using it that way.
He then explains that until the ‘faux outrage’ over his use of the word a few weeks ago, the press had used it the same way for a long time.
He elaborates even more, but you can watch that in the video above.
