Clock Runs Out On Perjury Charges For James Clapper, Ensuring He Won't Be Punished For Lying To Congress

It almost seems like half a lifetime ago, but only a half-decade has passed since James Clapper lied to Ron Wyden about the NSA's domestic collections. Wyden pointedly asked Clapper during an intelligence committee hearing whether or not the NSA was collecting "any type of data at all" on American citizens. Clapper gave two answers, both untrue: "No, sir" and "Not wittingly."

A couple of months later, the first Snowden leak -- detailing massive amounts of call data being captured in the Section 215 dragnet -- undid Clapper's careful, under-oath lies. Since then, nothing has happened. The DOJ refused to investigate Clapper for lying to his oversight. Clapper exited office a few years later, becoming a go-to national security expert for a variety of news programs. He has since offered a variety of excuses for lying, but none of them are particularly good.

As of March 12, the clock has run on perjury charges. James Clapper has violated federal law and gotten away with it.

Everybody was obsessed about McCabe and his deadline for losing a few years of an early pension. However, I don't recall on the March 12th deadline, any clatter about the Clapper caper.

Do you really think that perjury is the only crime he is guilty of?

I’m sure there are plenty of treasonous crimes that he can be executed for. So I wouldn’t lose any sleep over missing the deadline on perjury.

They’re trying to run out the clock on Hellary’s evils.

But the clock on Stormy Daniels renting herself out to Trump (if true) never runs out.

Sessions said he will confiscate bump stocks but let’s this travesty play out.

No Statute of limitations on treason. This traitor, along with the FBI traitors and Justice traitors and State traitors and Intelligence traitors, etc. need to be sent to Gitmo. TODAY.

Strawman fallacy. I said no such thing.

As this article points out, the low hanging fruit of a perjury charge has come and gone.

The same people who believe Sessions has 18,000 sealed indictments targeting the Deep State remain unfazed when Sessions gives the Deep State a pass. It’s always ‘just about to happen,’ ‘soon,’ ‘next week’ ‘the next 48 hours,’ etc., etc.

Two years from now, it’s still going to be, ‘I have a feeling it’s about to start happening.’ Unless of course the Deep State coup—the one being executed by Rosenstein and Mueller—ever finishes, and Trump survives it. THEN things will actually start to happen.

Jeff Sessions has been AG 1 year, 1 month, 15 days.

The whole Q thing teaches complacency. Just sit back and don’t do anything, trust Sessions, trust the plan. Everything is under control.

“%They’re trying to run out the clock on Hellary’s evils.”

Apparently Sessions recused from everything and deputy AG Mueller/Rosenfeinstein are on the enemy’s team.6

Sorry. I think the Clinton paradigm effect is in place.

“Jeff Sessions has been AG 1 year, 1 month, 15 days.”

One firing and 0 indictments. And the firing wasn’t really his doing. Mueller has indicted more than Jeff! Oh wait ...I forgot- he got some basketball coaches and small MS 13 fish. He’s really going to nail the pharmaceutical companies though...you know, the ones who invent the drugs that relieve excruciating pain, cure diseases and save lives.

Yes, that's exactly what it does.

It's as if Mueller and Rosenstein scripted the Q thing.

Rosenweasel is the real AG. Sessions is the DS front man.

Conspiracy has a much longer statute of limitations.
