1) If Clapper is correct, then he and his colleagues were epic failures!
2) If, as a private citizen, he has access to intelligence reports, then he is in criminal territory.
3) If Clapper is positive of this, it is his sworn duty (”preserve and protect”) to bring that evidence to public light. He has not and probably will not. The probable reason is that he is an extreme partisan Democrat and desires to destroy the President.
4) Conclusion: Clapper brings only FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) to the table. IGNORE HIM!

interview by FakeNews Swamp creature Woodruff!

here she is again:

30 Apr: PBS Newshour: James Comey: FBI had ‘basis for investigating’ possible ties between Trump and Russia
Former FBI Director James Comey on Monday criticized a House Intelligence Committee report that found no evidence of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, saying the FBI had a “basis for investigating” the matter.
“There was a basis for investigating, meaning there were facts to support an investigation” into alleged ties between Russia and members of Trump’s campaign, Comey said in an interview with the PBS NewsHour’s Judy Woodruff. “To say there was no evidence just wasn’t the case.”
Comey joined a chorus of critics who have slammed the report in recent days...

I bet this hack would not constantly be lying if he were put under oath in a grand jury.

You gotta be kidding. This rat will lie his @$$ off if he thinks it will save his skin. I think this is a desperation move on his part. There is a good chance this rat bastard is going to prison.

They never say exactly what it was Russia did that swung the election.

Well, let’s get a Grand Jury, allow him to lie his a$$ off and send him
to jail. He can lie all he wants in public with no penality.

Some Russians might have wanted to weaken H because they were convinced she was sure to win and wanted to start weakening her expected reign. But they could not and did not affect the election.

It’s like global warming, no one sees any effect of it but they keep saying we all are seeing it every day.

Woodruff and the Deep State again:

3 Jan 2017: PBS Newshour: Part 1 — Russian meddling doubters should wait to see report, says Brennan
JUDY WOODRUFF: ...I began our conversation by asking about the status of the intelligence community’s report on Russia’s hacking of the election.
JOHN BRENNAN, Director, Central Intelligence Agency: The report is in its final throes of production. And so the report will be shared with the president, who ordered up this comprehensive review, within days.
And the DNI, Jim Clapper, is the one who is leading this effort on behalf of the intelligence community. And so it’s been a very, very rigorous and diligent review to make sure that we have full appreciation of all the intelligence that’s relevant...

JUDY WOODRUFF:Will it prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Russian officials were trying to interfere with the U.S. election?

JOHN BRENNAN: Well, I think, as Jim Clapper and Jeh Johnson said as early as December, that there was clear evidence that the Russians were interfering in the election.
And so I’m not going to reveal the contents of that report, because it is still under seal, and it will be provided to the president and to others, as appropriate. But it will address what Russia was doing, how it was doing it, and how we know that...

4 Jan 2017: PBS Newshour: Part 2 — John Brennan on what his CIA successor needs to worry about
JUDY WOODRUFF: We return now to my conversation with CIA Director John Brennan.
Last night, we focused largely on allegations of Russian hacking of U.S. political operations during the election and the war in Syria.
Tonight, we begin with concerns raised by European intelligence officials about possible Russian intrusion in upcoming elections there, and whether Director Brennan believes the U.S. is facing a new Cold War with Russia...

What’s the chance Mexico, Soros and others didn’t influence far more, even in those 3 states?

Lou Dobbs just ran a clip from a year or so ago showing Clapper telling Congress, under oath, that the Russians had NO influence on the election of President Trump.

Clapper is a terrible liar. He can’t quite catch up with the Lying Kenyan.

These people insult my intelligence. I’ve hated Hitlery since ‘92. Nothing the Ruskies could do would’ve changed my mind. I’m very educated in the truth and very aware of commie shenanigans. Nice try A$$holes, your stupid tactics may work on your dip$hit constituents, not me!
