The whole cabal of agency directors have been lying with impunity for a decade now. So much so its become the role model for mentoring their staffs. Its a Beltway resume enhancer. When they lie they are bragging about it now. Any politicians asking them questions about their agregious conduct serve as a morale booster for the rest of government employees!

Visceral hatred of this man. Even more than obama or Hillary.

The guy who answered the senators with: I told you the least untruth. Sniveling POS.

This is almost hilarious.

The letter he signed did, in fact, not say the laptop was disinformation. It said it had the “hallmarks of disinformation.”

But Clapper et al knew that the legacy media would take that and tell everyone it was Russian Disinformation, which is exactly what they did and Clapper was not all over CNN saying that they exaggerated. He fully intended the exaggeration to take place.

Then the FBI warns FB and other social media about a Russian surprise coming soon about the president’s son. Probably coordinated with Clapper’s letter.

In an interview with The Washington Post’s “fact checker,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper contends that Politico misled the public about a letter he and 50 other former intel officials signed during the 2020 presidential campaign warning that the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story could be Russian deception. “There was message distortion,” Clapper tells The Washington Post. “All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation. Politico deliberately distorted what we said. It was clear in paragraph five.”


The thing is, there was malign behavior *both* on the side of the 50, and on that of most of the MSM. While the document was clearly written to imply that the laptop docs were Russian disinformation, they did make clear that they actually had no particular special knowledge of it being so.

The journalists deliberately ignored that part and used the statement as a fig leaf to push their own stories that it was disinformation and never made an even basic effort to force the Bidens to say whether or not the documents were genuine or fake. They weren’t duped. They deliberately used the half-statements provided in order to play pretend.

Put Clapper, Brennan and all the other signers of the letter under oath before the House Intelligence and Homeland Security/Foreign Affairs Committees and grill them about what they signed and who put them up to it, and then subpoena that traitor(s).

Do not take “No” as an answer, only as an evasion in order Not to tell the whole truth.

If they lie or take the Fifth, cut the budget of each of their office/agency by $100 Million dollars. Let’s see if that gets them talking, esp. if they are threatened by their present or former employer with a loss of all pensions, perks, and security clearances.

Do not let them off the hook for any reason until they fully comply with the committees questions.

Lynching is substantial? Nah. Try them and sentence them to jail under the same conditions that the J6 protestors had to endure. Period of incarceration? Until they started crying and begging for mercy like a bunch of little b!tches, or three years, whichever comes last.
