James Clapper’s new book – let that sink in – makes claims against Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell
BizPac Review ^ | 5/23/2018 | Julia Cohen

James Clapper, former director of National Intelligence for former President Obama, claims in his new book Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to sign a statement condemning foreign interference in elections.

In his book, “Facts and Fears, Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence,” Clapper claims the two Republican leaders did not want to sign anything that would hurt their party’s nominee. Clapper was “disappointed, but not surprised,” he also wrote. Ryan and McConell have not responded to the claims.

During his appearance on “The View,” Clapper insisted the FBI was not spying on President Donald Trump’s campaign rather “on what the Russians were doing.” This was in response to Trump’s recent tweet calling for a Department of Justice investigation into whether or not his campaign was under unethical surveillance by the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Yes.
Big spaces on all pages to make room for chubby crayons.

That ugly idiot liar Clapper appearing on a panel discussion with the ditzy fools on the View!

Breathtaking how low America has sunk.

As Mean Gene Okerlund used to say about bad guy WWF wrestling managers’ speeches: “There is a fountain of misinformation for you!”

If Clapper was concerned about the Russians infiltrating the Trump campaign, he should have alert the Trump team.

He wasn't, because they weren't, so he didn't.

He's a world class pathological liar.

What evidence does he have that the Russians were only doing something with the Trump campaign and not the Sanders, HRC, Jeb!, Cruz, et. al., campaigns?

How would he know unless he put spies in their campaigns too?

Is it a waste of time to demean and boycott Viking Press for allowing this piece of crap into the marketplace? They’d only say “Hey, buddy, I gotta make a buck, ya know?”

Not so new. Remember House Speaker Jim Wright who resigned amid investigations into the bulk sale of his "book" to supporters?

Working title: “Facts and Fears, Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence”

Actual title: “Facts and Fears, Hard Truths from a Life Lacking in Intelligence”

The January 2017 intelligence community assessment attributing Russian meddling as having helped elected Trump is backed up by no evidence whatsoever.

Its simply nothing more than an unsourced assertion released by the Trump-hating cabal of Brennan, Clapper and Comey.

Which the fake news media conveniently accepts as proven.

The more he’s n TV, the better. He’s charisma challenged and can’t keep his lies straight.

I seem to recall when there was a huge media uproar in which ALL presidential candidates were required to swear they would accept the outcome of the election.

Trump was singled out as the only candidate who would not go along with their charade.

But all of the swearing by the lying politicians was worth its weight in used toilet paper. They were already at work to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency all while swearing to accept whatever the outcome.

Nasty little liars they are.

The Democrats are up to their eyeballs with illegal foreign entanglements, which include attempts to sabotage a rival’s presidential campaign and undermine his possible future presidency.

James Clapper is a traitor who was at the heart of this conspiracy.

Books are the new bribery.

Sixty Five Million to the Obama family along with a ten figure deal from Netflix which prompted me to drop my life long subscription.

Just a coincidence that Brennan threatened Ryan and McConnell in a tweet a few days ago.
