The head of intelligence is surprised that a foreign nation uses propaganda???
This tells me that McCain, Graham, Clapper, et al are all idiots.
No, they aren’t idiots, but they think we are.
Actually Clapper over 3 years ago showed one of his best sides, seldom seen. He testified that every country spies on each other.

The head of US intelligence has said the country’s spy agencies always try to learn the intentions of foreign leaders, but stopped short of confirming reports of eavesdropping on German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
James Clapper, director of national intelligence, said seeking to discern the aims of foreign heads of state has long been a “basic tenet” for US spy agencies.
“As long as I’ve been in the intelligence business, 50 years, leadership intentions in whatever form that’s expressed is kind of a basic tenet of what we are to collect and analyse,” Mr Clapper told the House Intelligence Committee.
“It’s invaluable to us to know where countries are coming from, what their policies are, how that would impact us across a whole range of issues,” Clapper said.
“So, and it isn’t just leaders themselves, it’s what goes on around them and the policies that they convey to their governments.”
Oh c'mon! I know that you didn't need this to tidbit to draw that conclusion! ;^)
Drain the swamp. Thank you Clapper for putting the intelligence community in Trump’s cross hairs. A lot of people are going to be looking for new jobs.
That tells me Hussein Obama is a liar. He is lying to keep the real stories off the front page.
