The salient point of all: had Trump been informed the intelligence agencies wanted to watch the Russian via Trump, then yeah, I’d say that isn’t spying on Trump, persee. That’s not what happened. When a person, group, etc is being watched by the intelligence community and not informed, it’s spying, simple as that.

Clapper admitted Obama used government agencies to spy on Trump, yet this has largely been ignored by the press.

Clapper was spinning like a whirling dervish! When he was done all that was left was: yes, we spied on Trump!

Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe and Lynch were the five criminal commissars that implemented Obama’s vile plot to sabotage American democracy. Arrest and indict Comey. He is the most psychologically conflicted and will break if he faces prison time.

More games. It seems like the “IN THING” is to make admissions to crimes on the View. Then Dems declare No crime occured. Then Sessions takes a Nap. At some point someone has to act. Not sure who that will be. Dems are pretty confident that nothing will happen to them.

These people do not even conceive of the impropriety of government agents in political campaigns.

And whatever they want to call them, that’s what they are.

They are there to learn if a particular canditate shoukd be stopped, and to gather the data to do so if necessary.

The government wants to control who is in...the government. This oligarchy, not republican government.

Ok, this is rich. Clapper, former head of the Defense National Intelligence Agency says he doesn’t like the word spying. What does the organization he formerly headed up do? It spies on America’s enemies for a living and he doesn’t like the word? Really? Does any halfway intelligent person believe this lying, spinning dervish?

Where were all of the Democrat Russia-phobes during the cold war?

If Clapper was spying on Russians, I still want to know...

If that was the case, then the series of events would have been that they’d have gotten Carter Page, whom the F-I/D-J had previously used in prior cases, to entrap Russians - not to use Halper to try and entrap Page + others. They’d be monitoring Russians, including those that were embedded into the HRC campaign, and others such as the Awans. The nature of their actions illuminates their motivations.

Funny that it was the DNC that kept claiming publicly how they were the victims of Russian interference, but did they send any spies to check on Hillary? Did they look at the servers for evidence of hacking or to trace the source and data stolen? Interview anybody to see if the DNC had a mole that helped the Russians hack?

Their whole story is hogwash.

Reckon they might “conceive” if, for example, a Republican administration had secrete agents “helping” a Hillary Clinton campaign?

It was hilarious watching Clapper shoot himself in the foot again and again and again.
