Former director of national intelligence James Clapper spoke out on President Trump's travel ban on Friday, saying he fears the order could create a "recruiting tool" for extremists. In his first interview since leaving office, The Obama-era official told CNN's Jim Sciutto he is unaware of any intelligence that would prove the need for Trump's executive order banning travel for nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The Old School way of diplomacy:

Issue: If we drop an atomic bomb on Japan to end the war. . .they will be our life-long enemy.

Solution: Then drop two bombs.

Clapper the UnAmerican liar. And yeah jackass, they HATE when we have open borders, and they love it when we restrict their entry to the USA.

THIS is “intelligence”. This mentality is what has got out nation into decades of losing pointless wars. This is what has flooded our nation with foreigners with ZERO respect for anything traditionally American.

If there’s anyone left who is capable of reading and writing a few hundred years from now, the history books that are written about this age in U.S. history will inevitably conclude that this country was run by a ruling class of people who are mentally retarded.

American people: “Islam encourages violence against unbelievers, apostates and blasphemers and spawns terrorists. We need to restrict Islamic immigration into the USA.”

James Clapper: “What nonsense! We need to let Muslim enclaves settle in our country, or else they’ll try to kill us!”

The Neocons have long pushed the argument that we need to allow unrestricted Islamic immigration into the USA in order that we can secure cooperation from translators and informants and governments for their agenda of wars in the Middle East.

Either they don’t care what happens to the USA in the long run, or they do care and they are not on our side.

Clapper is correct!

The illegal stay of the constitutional travel ban is a recruiting tool for extremists to get in before the ban takes effect. The President of Syria already has affirmed that extremists will be rushing into the USA given the window of time created by the activist judges.

James Clapper is an idiot.

What he has just done is to signal to all Muslim terrorist plotters operating out of those seven countries, that the CIA does not know anything about their plots and plans and that they're good to go without fear of being stopped.

What a monumentally stupid thing for a 'former government official' to do. But in the case of James Clapper, 'monumentally stupid' is pretty good as a blanket description of the man and his actions while in office.

These morons have never been concerned about “recruiting”.

The only way you stop recruiting amongst the more than 1 billion Muslims is to kill everyone who gets recruited. You can’t stop it before it happens numb-nuts (Clapper), if taking in millions of Muslim refugees into the west stopped terrorist recruitment, there’d be no terrorists already.

Clapper is too stupid to live. I’m surprised his brain even has the power to keep his lungs breathing.

Unreal. So let me get this straight, if we stop people that want to do us harm from coming into the country then they’ll REALLY want to do us harm? So the answer is to just let them in?

Genius. Imagine sending that message to the Nazi’s during WWII.

Our very existence on the planet and our way of life are their biggest recruiting tools. They are jealous of the fact that we all have the ability and opportunity to prosper and make our lives better. While they listen to their Imam’s, who are nothing more than crime bosses, who take advantage of the morons that worship them.

Do the Iranians have any issues with the fact that some of the richest people in their country are also the leaders, both political and religious, of that country. While the country deals with an insane heroin addiction, poverty and despair, the leaders live like kings.

On a side note, shouldn’t Clapper be prosecuted for perjury?
