President Trump has called it “Spygate,” but it’s looking more like “Get Smart” or the classic Mad magazine cartoon, “Spy vs. Spy.” According to The New York Times, the FBI in 2016 actually sent a buxom blonde to pump Trump-campaign nobody George Papadopoulos for information about collusion.

It would be hilarious if the investigation hadn’t continued on (in various forms) for over two years, plaguing the president with damning “news” coverage that now turns out to be fundamentally false.

Just how feckless and reckless was the Crossfire Hurricane investigation? (The name alone is amatuerish.) Did the FBI and Justice Department cross the line after falling for Russian disinformation or the machinations of smear merchants Fusion GPS?

Attorney General William Barr’s determination to get to the bottom of it all has prompted a fury.

Democrats and the usual media suspects exploded last month when Barr noted that he’s looking at whether the FBI’s “spying” on the Trump campaign in 2016 was “adequately predicated” — that is, was it a wild and improper fishing expedition?

Spying? There was no such thing, the likes of MSNBC’s Chuck Todd and CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin insisted after Barr spoke. In fact, it was already on the record that the bureau had told Cambridge prof Stefan Halper to try to get Papadopoulos to talk. Bottle-blonde “Azra Turk” is a second “spy.”

Halper and the blonde got nothing, because there was nothing to get. Same for the FBI’s surveillance of another Team Trump nobody, Carter Page.

And that’s another issue Barr must resolve: Why wiretap Page without ever even trying to just ask him about its fears?

After all, he had previously, and voluntarily, worked with the FBI to shut down a Russian spy operation. Moreover, the bureau knew from wiretaps in that investigation that even the Russians considered Page an “idiot.”

This is another red flag that Justice and the FBI missed or ignored. Page and Papadopoulos were obviously irrelevant to Team Trump: The campaign just signed up such stiffs as “advisers” to pretend it had the usual expert advice when all the real experts were boycotting Trump.

It looks like top lawmen fell for an influence operation from Fusion GPS — a DC consultancy that specializes in steering Beltway opinion.

Fusion employee Nellie Ohr, the wife of high Justice official Bruce Ohr, was bombarding him and several of his colleagues with “Trump-Russia” dirt — priming them to suspect the worst.

Fusion also signed up British ex-spy Christopher Steele to help produce what became known as the “Steele Dossier,” a fat package of Russian gossip about possible Trump-Putin ties.

Heck, the Putin-linked Russian lawyer behind the Trump Tower meeting was also then working with Fusion, in a joint effort to move US opinion on the anti-Putin Magnitsky Act — even as Team Hillary was paying Fusion to smear Trump.

It increasingly looks like FBI chief Jim Comey was in far over his head when it came to counter-espionage. He may have been fooled by Russian disinformation targeting Trump and Hillary Clinton, since it now looks like Comey made a key decision to enlarge the Clinton e-mail probe on the basis of a Kremlin-faked document.

Comey just penned a Times op-ed calling Barr a lying liar who’s been thoroughly corrupted by the president. Sure sounds like he’s worried about what Bill Barr is going to discover in his review of the misadventures of Comey’s FBI.
