Asked if a representative of a foreign government contacts a 2020 campaign and then offers dirt, if they should then contact the FBI, Barr first tells Coons "yes" before offering a qualification - "if a foreign intelligence service does, yes"

Barr, after some hesitation, says that a 2020 presidential campaign should contact the FBI if a foreign intelligence service reaches out with "dirt" on another candidate. He seemed to avoid saying the same about a foreign government.

Not only does Barr hesitate, but watch closely what Barr ends up narrowly saying: Barr says only that presidential campaigns offered dirt from a "foreign intelligence service" should report to the FBI. He seemed to wait and dodge to avoid saying "foreign government." NUTS.
