Clapper: It’s ‘A Good Thing’ FBI Was Spying On Trump Campaign

Clapper admitted the FBI “may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign,” referring to President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He explained away the possibility of an FBI informant spying on the campaign as the bureau was trying to find out “what the Russians were doing to try to substantiate themselves in the campaign or influence or leverage it.”

Obama’s Director of National Intelligence then went on to say, “So, if there was someone that was observing that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.”

He also stated he believes “it’s hugely dangerous if someone like that is exposed because the danger to that person” and the potential “reluctance of others to be informants for the FBI” could possibly devastate the FBI

Him and the Clinton Southern Mafia would simply tell them sinking ships pull all around them down too and wink..game over..disband our intel heads or entire departments, they cannot be the secret police and have it com out short of war soon, they are willing to kill us for the power..

I often use a Crapper but I don’t pay any attention to it.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks to Travis Mcgee for the above.

[Boogieman]

Hmm, so if Trump puts government funded spies into the campaigns of Democrat candidates and has them report back to him about what they find, that would be a “good thing” too, eh?

[Responsibility2nd]

This is dangerous. Because the natural reaction in most countries would be to jail people like Clapper, Brennan, Comey, et al without a trial.

Or cause them to disappear.

We are well on our way to becoming a Banana Republic.

Nixon: When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal

Clapper is worried that with the publicity, it will be harder for the FBI to spy on Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020 on behalf of whoever the Democratic nominee is (whether it is Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand, Corey Booker, or Angela Davis).

“it’s hugely dangerous if someone like that is exposed because the danger to that person”

Because the infamous RNC SWAT team will suddenly show up in their armored van and massacre everyone in the vicinity?

[jazminerose]

This is great! Everyone is on the record saying “I did it and I’m glad!”. Don’t any of them have lawyers?

The price of hubris can get pretty steep.

So did clapper and brennan spy on the hellary and bernie campaigns for the good of the nation?????? These traitors and many more need to swing from the yardarm......

Clapper admitted the FBI “may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign,” . . . then went on to say, “So, if there was someone that was observing that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.”

Bovine excrement! If there was a real threat that they actually cared about, they would have warned President Trump that foreigners were trying to infiltrate and influence his political campaign. This was a trap from the start, a final insurance policy in case they needed an excuse - a backup plan. This was about a Deep State coup against the lawfully elected President of the United States in the “unlikely” event that the unthinkable happened and their chosen insiders lost.

Nice try Clapper but no cigar.

[Brilliant]

“IF”? Clapper definitely knows whether they were spying on Trump. He’s prepping the public for the next shoe to drop.

[Williams]

This has exactly been their cover story from the beginning. And by the way, What kind of dirt bag that was in such a sensitive position would send out vile political tweets?

[madison10]

Jerk. FBI had no business spying on Donald Trump. There was no cause. Totally illegal.

[Williams]

I hope this means that based on John Kerry’s recent trips to a Iran and a 100 other Democrat transgressions against our foreign policy and collusions with the Russians, that there are multiple secret agents embedded inside the DNC and every Democrat candidate this year.

[Psalm 144]

Agreed.

[Rusty0604]

Exactly what they’re up to.

[txrefugee]

Clapper sounds like he’s just a kindly old grandfather instead of Obama’s Muslim butt boy.

[MHGinTN]

Clapper is a gross liar. Think about it: the entire ploy was to set Trump campaign up, now Clapper claims it was just a spying operation? The set up must not be admitted, so this old liar just spews the lies boldly.
