Clapper: Trump's demand a 'disturbing assault'

CNN Fake News ^

[Magnatron]

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says President Trump's call for the Justice Department to find out if the FBI spied on his campaign is "not good for the country."

Clapper is in this whole mess up to his eyeballs.

This liar Clapper and his buddy in crime and corruption in Obama's intelligence agencies, Brennan, are starting to realize this jig is up and just how much trouble for each of them is coming down the pike.

These wailing, obviously desperate lamentations to the press will not keep you out of trouble.

Just desserts is coming guys. You'll get yours in due time.

Why would any normal and sane person believe any fake news from CNN. Just look at CNN's top Fake News mediots. Rachael Madkow and Susan Mikula dating since 1999 but still not in a hurry to get married!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on a Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Donald Trump Has All the Power https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/05/donald-trump-has-all-the-power/560804/"

Happy to see the Atlantic admit the truth for a change; i.e. President Trump has the authority to initiate an investigation. But my gosh, that article is circuitous and reads like the same "He's attacking Mueller" rhetoric we've been hearing from every liberal rag.

My goodness the lies in that article:

".... I don’t believe Attorney General Jeff Sessions (who is recused, in any event) would carry it out. I also do not believe that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would do so. And I’m quite certain that FBI Director Chris Wray would never be able to look an FBI agent in the face again if he allowed an investigation to be opened improperly (the FBI does not open investigations without a genuine reason to believe a crime may have been committed)—particularly not an investigation following political pressure to out an FBI informant who provided information in the context of a counterintelligence investigation that was properly predicated..."

Just heard on FOX that the Republican members of the Congression Intelligence committee can not contact Trump, that they think he is ill-informed and will appoint Rosenstein, even though RR was part of the spying.

I think that James Clapper is against President Trump's call for the Justice Department to find out if the FBI spied on his campaign, for a reason. James Clapper had a role in the spying.

Maybe he is worried about ending up in an orange jump suit.

Sounds like he’s over the target

The DOJ including the FBI work for the President. They are not free agents immune from directives from the WH or Congressional oversight. Clapper has no understanding of the Constitution, a frightening thought given his former position.

Meaning what exactly?

How is the President ill-informed when he has all the information the Congress people don’t have?

[Eleutheria5]

He’s half right. Spying on a political campaign is bad for the country. Not investigating it is even worse.

Meaning what exactly? Indeed. Appoint Rosenstein to what? Can anybody find a link to what heights posted?

Spinning away...

I turned CNN on for a few minutes at lunch to get some variety. Schiff was there, spinning away like a top about the latest FBI revelations. His pitch was that the FBI would have been remiss in its duty if it hadn't investigated credible information of foreign influence in the Trump campaign. "Credible information" that they in fact planted themselves by creating an echo chamber for Papadopoulis through Mifsud, Halper, Downer, and Halper's honey-pot assistant Azra Turk.

Clapped is a known and proven liar.

[fuzzylogic]

lol - could Brennan, Clapper, and Comey show their involvement any clearer? Each opening their mouths...

If you’ve nothing to hide guys then what is the problem? I’d have though that the response should be, “I look forward to having any doubt about my character to be brought to light”. To attack is soooooooo transparent, it almost BEGS for an investigation.

This is what “gown down” looks like...

Depend on the meaning of the word “the country.”
