One of the attorneys representing the anonymous “whistleblowers” accusing President Donald Trump of conspiring with foreign leaders to interfere in the next U.S. presidential election used to report directly to former director of national intelligence James Clapper.
Charles McCullough, an attorney now representing the whistleblowers with Andrew Bakaj, a former staffer for Sens. Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, was previously the inspector general of the intelligence community (ICIG) at the height of the Clinton email scandal.
Now a partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group, McCullough’s professional biography on the law firm’s website notes that he reported directly to Clapper as ICIG and “oversaw intelligence officers responsible for audits, inspections, investigations.”
Clapper, who joined CNN as a national security analyst after leaving government in 2017, was a central figure in perpetuating the Russia hoax against Trump and lied to Congress about mass surveillance on Americans. When asked under oath in March 2013 by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., whether the federal government was collecting “any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans,” Clapper responded “no sir… not wittingly.”
While director of the Department of National Intelligence, Clapper was instrumental in crafting whistleblower protections mandating that no employee of the intelligence committee be made subject to reprisals for reports made in compliance with department guidelines.
Last December, McCullough praised Clapper in an interview with Fox 5. “I enjoyed a very good relationship with Jim Clapper, we got along fabulously.”

Surprise surprise...
He should have blown the whistle on Clapper. Where was he then?
Blowing Clapper’s whistle......................
Seems like the web is getting smaller.
......shocker.......cackle.....
Monica, is that you???
Not having charged these people with crimes over FISA abuse immediately only served as a green light for deep state trickery to continue. Not charging Comey was a huge mistake. Now any indictments will be obstruction of justice claims and the media is full on board with that.
And yesterday Byron York reported on the Washington Examiner the CIA analyst Fake Whistleblower had a “professional” relationship with a Dem presidential candidate.
These people are begging to be rounded up and arrested for sedition.
> Seems like the web is getting smaller.
Yep, getting down to the tight core of the conspiracy. Hang them all.
That means thousands of our Sterling agents had access to just about every intelligence file.
“Now a partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group...”
So, you could say he works for a “Rose law firm”?
Nice!................
this is all laughable...
Incestuous little Swamp, isn’t it.
"No one was more surprised than me, Your Honor."
Robert Mueller’s *dud* testimony killed “Russian Collusion” forever.
That happened at the end of July. This “Ukraine Collusion” story began 2 weeks later on Aug 15. Actually August 16 when someone talked about this phone call.
They were looking for something to replace Mueller’s report after he came out looking like a doddering old fool.
But they only had ‘hearsay’ evidence of the phone call. So they changed the whistle-blower form.
THIS WAS PLANNED AND STAGED EVENT by Schiff-for-brains and crew.
You can bet the strategy is to build watertight cases with a bunch of affidavits so there’s no window room and then release it all in the summer of 2020 right before the election it’s all the media has to talk about is democrat corruption right before the election in November
