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.

Just invite him back and ask the same questions plus a few more incriminating ones and that will reset the clock, so to speak.

Wysiwyg.

Associates of Republicans get hauled through the legal system and either ruined on a technicality or flat out railroaded.

Leftists get a free pass.

This should concern us all. Two-tiered ‘justice’ is a prescription for disaster.

I think you have identified our problem. Ratpublicans are in charge while ALL of this egregious $hiit is going on. They attack their own and leave our enemies intact. WTF is wrong with this picture? Now only if...we can get more of these elected, I think I saw someone this morning use the term 'better republicans', then it's off to hunkie dorie land! Throw away your popcorn and grab your Pom Poms yay Team!

Has no one put this picture together yet? Our party is in charge yet Hillary and Obama run around doing book tours without a care in the world?

Our party and their leaders are just as dirty as Hillary and Obama have the evidence. If they go down, they go down. They sucker Trump with Sessions- as plan B if he wins Sessions is AG- then he recuses himself to get Rosenstein, then SC Mueller in and here we are.

Our party leaders and others have their own skeletons that will come out if Hillary and OBama and their people are ever charged.

McConnell with the China business and heaven knows who else is dirty on our side.

It explains why they threatened Trump if he fires Mueller, Sessions, Rosenstein they will impeach him.

Just imagine Dems doing this to Obama- his party trying to take him down at any and all costs. Our party is doing this to their own President- only one reason to do so. To protect the skeletons in their own closets.

He who controls the search engines, controls the recorded "history".
