Just before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in their second presidential debate, then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper met in the White House with a small group of advisers to President Obama to hatch a plan to put out a first-of-its-kind intelligence report warning the voting public that "the Russian government" was interfering in the election by allegedly breaching the Clinton campaign’s email system.
On Oct. 7, 2016 – just two days before the presidential debate between Trump and Clinton – Clapper issued the unprecedented intelligence advisory with Obama’s personal blessing. It seemed to lend credence to what the Clinton camp was telling the media — that Trump was working with Russian President Vladimir Putin through a secret back channel to steal the election. Sure enough, the Democratic nominee pounced on it to smear Trump at the debate.
And that wouldn’t be the only historically consequential maneuver for Clapper, whose role in skewing presidential campaigns might deserve a special place in the annals of nefarious election meddling – by, in this case, a domestic, not foreign, intelligence service.
In 2020, he was the lead signatory on the “intelligence" statement that discredited the New York Post’s October bombshell exposing emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop, which documented how Hunter’s corrupt Burisma paymasters had met with Joe Biden when he was vice president. It was released Oct. 19, just three days before Trump and Biden debated each other in Nashville. Fifty other U.S. “Intelligence Community” officials and experts signed the seven-page document, which claimed "the arrival on the U.S. political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

It has been eight years and they haven’t stopped.
Clapper’s actions are even uglier than his face, which ordinarily I would find an impossibility.

Crapper. That commie maggot is still around? I thought he would have moved to Kenya by now.
What’s going through Trump’s head? He has been repeatedly warned against walking into this lions den.
Unless these lawbreakers are perp walked, nothing will change
Defunding must begin
Come on…
The democrats RUN the debates AND the elections..
Of COURSE they’re rigged..
It has been eight years and likely no thought or energy was spent on preventing them from cheating.
“Fifty other U.S. “Intelligence Community” officials and experts signed the seven-page document”
One of those 51 was CNN moderator Dana Bash’s ex-husband.
What is it with military intelligence people?
Do they all think they’re going to be James Bond and then turn ugly when they realize they never will be?
Do they teach them that they really are better than everyone else at their schools?
It was taking a while for the MSM to pickup on the Russia hoax story, so Hillary sped things along by casually mentioning that she had it from “very reliable intelligence personnel” that there was an investigation underway involving the Russians and the Trump campaign during one of their debates . . .
No doubt the dems get all the questions in advance. Donna Braile.
Trump should smack down Dana Bash during the debate with the fact that her husband was one of the 61 Intelligence Community members signing the document regarding Hunter’s laptop.
We have been discussing this here on FR. It has also been on X and Rumble. However, I would bet that 75% or more of the people who will watch the debate are not aware of that fact.
If Trump addresses this in his opening statement it will immediately put her on the defensive.
It also required the like-minded McCain/Romneu types to carry out this assination of Trump. We still have Biden Loving scum in midst here, pandering to whatever the Left does claiming they are conservatives.
The sheer weight of the LGBT, Illegal Immigrant Criminal, and their dragging the world into the Ukraine war have so deminished their standing, e.g., the Chicago Wing of the DNC, that now it is possible to rid American and the world of these dimwited thugs.
As for the timing of this hit piece on the Obama/Clinton/Biden crime syndicate, it is telling that for maximum effect it was dropped the day after Biden’s mega-donar he appointed Ambassador to Russia was summoned for the Demarsh Note - which immediately resulted in the Pentagon calling Russia. This is the first contract from the Administration since Russia send congradulatons to Biden and he snubbed them by never ever again having contact.
The recipe for this War was disrupted by Trump’s election.
The debate is secondary, but important. However, the Stars are not aligning for poopy pants and merry band of Brisuma bandits.
The tools of color revolution are so useful abroad, why wouldn’t they be used at home?
Yes they do at the Department of State Foreign Service three week introductory course.
They go so far as to insinuate each of you sitting here today were the best and brightest in your respective classes and your intelligence and accomplishments are what put you here today - e.g., YOU ARE THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM*.
It is recited continuously how you are the few, the select, the elite. They mention the experience of different people. They have you take the Myers Briggs test and they you attend numerous sessions on personality types, making you feel like your results make you special.
They tell you America does not Kings and Queens, Dukes or Dutchesses’, but they tell you our Foreign Service, the Vanunted 15,000, are American’s Royality.
I sh*t you not. This is true.
When you attend Leadership training they re-cycle the narrative and repeat the same tripe.
* You have no idea what it is to work with a bunch of people who all thinkk they are the smartest in the room. They are back-biting pit vipers. They cheat and lie and conduct character assination of co-workers. They form clicks and support groups to help advance themselves. They attempt to pin security violations on their competition by opening doors after they are sealed and signed off as shut. They leak information.
The worst part is there are plus or minus 19,000 “foreign service personnel” is you count the Sister Agency that is undeclared - THEY LIE FOR A LIVING TOO.
Yes they actually recruit a group of people and at the same time put their elite family members into the mix, and tell the uninitiated they are Elites.
