James Clapper: ‘I Can’t Refute … and Can’t Confirm’ Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion

Breitbart ^ | May 14, 2017 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Amen!

[silverleaf]

Can’t fire Clapper, he resigned 30 days after Trump was elected

He lied to Congress and got away with it in 2014

So he’s nothing more than a well-pensioned retired military officer with probably some slush money “consultant” job and a ton of deep state leaker contacts to mine for information and disinformation to offer up to the rabid leftist media

“The Center for a New American Security (CNAS)”

OK, there’s a crap pile of slush money being used to pay people to undermine the Trump administration

Follow the money

Novel idea for Jake Tapper: Interview guests who actually KNOW something.

[binreadin]

I just left a voicemail to the Managing Editor of our local newspaper, as the rag has turned into nothing more than sheer left-leaning propaganda. The final straw was an editorial from the newspaper-owning company urging Sen. Burr to stay strong and fight against Trump and the firing of Comey. The editorial went on to cite the ridiculous “Saturday Night Massacre” trope. I wanted to write to the editor to refute the claims and express my displeasure at what was happening to our local paper. Lo and behold, there was no longer an option to post a letter to the editor. I will write one instead, as we all need to start pushing back hard against this crap. Soon all local papers will be nothing but versions Pravda or Izvestia, only run by the present opposition. We all need to activate or we will be overturned by this tide of dishonesty and ignorance.

I can’t refute or confirm that James Clapper is addicted to gay porn.

Clapper lied to Congress. Why would we believe anything he says?

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden:

Wyden: “I hope we can do this in just a yes or no answer, because I know Sen. Feinstein wants to move on. Last summer, the NSA director (Keith Alexander) was at a conference and he was asked a question about the NSA surveillance of Americans. He replied, and I quote here, ‘The story that we have millions, or hundreds of millions, of dossiers on people is completely false.’ The reason I’m asking the question is, having served on the committee now for a dozens years, I don’t really know what a dossier is in this context. So, what I wanted to see if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?”

Clapper: “No, sir.”

Wyden: “It does not?”

Clapper: “Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly.”

....hmmm: “Can’t refute” - “Can’t confirm”

Can you shut up and go away?

When asked, claim investigation is ongoing. Can’t confirm or deny.

Janet Reno was the expert at this. Put everything under active investigation then refuse to comment on anything. That worked very well keeping the Clintons out of jail.

The other tactic was to take full responsibility for things like Waco. Anyone know what it means to take full responsibility? You get to die in tax payer provided comfort, of old age.

I can “confirm” that clapper should be in prison.

[Grampa Dave]

The House of Representatives is set to begin the impeachment process of current president Donald Trump. A spokesperson from the house said the decision was based on sufficient findings by the FBI of collusion with Russia during the campaign. Also, if you’re still reading this you’re a dumbass. You wish snowflake.

You've Been Pranked!

[Grampa Dave]

His resignation was accepted.
