During an appearance on CNN, host Abby Phillip asked Clapper if he believed Trump had an “enemies list” and whether other high-ranking officials could be targeted if Trump regains power.
Phillip asked:
“Tonight, the former president of the United States, who is currently a candidate for office again, is suggesting that the ongoing, outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should be e**cuted,” Phillip began in her question.
“Donald Trump referred to reports that General Mark Milley was going to war in China if Trump decided to launch an attack, posting on social media that this is an act so egregious that in times gone by, the punishment would have been d**th.”
“Let’s discuss this with CNN National Security Analyst James Clapper. He’s the former Director of National Intelligence. Director Clapper, Trump saying that he will, would ecute, or that we should ecute the nation’s top general. Have we become numb to all of this?”
Clapper responded:
“Well, yeah, I mean, since we have, you know, this is shocking, stunning, despicable, egregious, et cetera, but not surprising.”
“It’s really reprehensible for that to have been said. Joe Milley served this country with a long and with great distinction, 43 years.”
“Like all of us, he took the oath, and it bears repeating,” Clapper added.

“No one is above the law” ... Remember that point?
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
As well he should. Clapper is a leftist, deep-state traitor to America, IMO. Just another Brennan butt buddy.
I hope so.
You said it first and best.
James Clapper guilt showing if he did nothing wrong he need not worry.
Swamp rat seeks exit
Reckoning!
Apt and accurate.
Well James, is there something YOU should be worried about?
Did YOU just maybe do something that DESERVES retribution?
If only...
Right next to Brennan.
If the process is the punishment, then process the hell out of all of them.
That’s the main reason I’m voting for him.
CNN host Abby Phillip is scum.
Trump should...and he’d better!
Play third world politics expect third world results.....
Yes, just like “democracy” is a synonym for progressivism/communism/cronyism.
I always wondered why people would want to attend executions, until “COVID” and the 2020 “election”. Now, I’d be first in line for a ticket.
NEWS FLASH! I want revenge. I want retribution. Nothing less than payback is acceptable.
Considering how the Democrats have shown the way in misusing authority and power for political purposes, it would only be fair. But that won’t make it right.
Trump will allow him the fair trial that the J6’ers never got.
In 2016 Trump ran on the promise to "Lock Her Up!" but when he got into office he didn't do a thing to Hillary.
The Deep State is so deeply buried in the DOJ that any investigation and prosecution would be sabotaged, even if Trump did try.
