Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said during a CNN appearance Tuesday it was “reprehensible” and “disturbing” for President Trump to refer to the Justice Department as the “deep state.”
Clapper said, “I think it’s reprehensible to use that phraseology. I guess who that refers to is the career civil servants who are patriots dedicated to the country. I’d point out that when you take the oath of office as a civil servant you swear to uphold the Constitution.”
He continued, “It doesn’t say anything about pledging loyalty to this president or any other and if not doing so is what constitutes being part of the ‘Deep State,’ I think that represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what this country is all about and what this government is all about and I find that characterization disturbing.”
This is in reference to President Trump tweeting Tuesday morning:
Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump
Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailors pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others 7:48 AM - Jan 2, 2018

James “what bombing” Clapper
James “What illegal spying on Americans” Clapper, 3 days later Wikileaks drops the Snowden files
claptrap from clapper - go work for Hillary.
Clapper is angry because he knows he is the real deep state.
Yes, one is reminded of that quote about how being fired upon indicates that one is over the target.
(Apologies to any military people, as I know I have not stated the expression well.)
Clapper was part of the Deep State, of course he's going to deny it's existence.
This is the same James Clapper who lied to Congress, who helped spy on political opponents to the Big Zero. Like we should believe him and is excuse for ethics now? I don’t think so.
Has the Clap taken his shots, lately?
Crapper forgot about that part when he was in office.
Clapper is just an attention whore looking for a bright spotlight. I bet he dresses like Norma Desmond when in his office.
Clapper knowingly and intentionally lied to Congress while giving sworn testimony under oath.
Attorney General Sessions: Please tell us the reason why this arrogant perjurer isn’t in prison.
Martha Stewart spent five months in prison for telling a relatively harmless lie about a financial transaction to the FBI.
Clapper’s lie concerned the cover-up of unconstitutional eavesdropping on millions and millions of American citizens.
Clapper took an Oath too. One about telling the truth, the whole truth...
How’d you do there James? You ever spy on US Citizens?
Freaking Crooked Spook!
`Deep State’ Clapper should be stripped of his pension.
Hollywood and the Left used to have a hard-on for stories that told of Governmental corruption.

Clapper and Brennan were two of the top dogs in the Deep State that controlled America. They illegally used their resources to spy on, monitoring and for surveillance on us and citizen Trump, candidate Trump and President Elect Trump.
President Trump calls on ‘Deep State’ DOJ to go after Comey, Clinton aide Abedin!
President Trump went after “Crooked” Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin on Tuesday, appearing to call on the “Deep State” Justice Department to look at potential security issues in her handling of classified material after a recent email dump.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailor’s pictures on the submarine? Jail!” Trump tweeted early Tuesday. “Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

Then, throw in basically everyone in the DOJ/FBI!
I refer to Clapper as “Claphole.” He is a disgrace to all of us that have worn Air Force Blue!
Clapper is a nightmare of clap
He’s sad to have caught the crap
To treat it or beat it
He could not defeat it
Too bad, Jim’s now caught in the trap.
