Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper says the use of human sources is "the most benign form of information gathering" amid President Trump's persistent outcry over the FBI's use of an informant during its investigation into connections between Russians and members of the Trump campaign...
...Clapper told "Face the Nation" that as DNI during the Obama administration, he would not have known about any FBI informant or their decision to use a human source.

Ok, something is up? Is Odunga putting all his chips behind this moron Clapper? He is breathtakingly stupid, is he the designated fall guy?
If that is an unretouched photo, Jimmy has a date with Jim Beam tonight...err every night.
I bet his co-conspirators want him to shut up
He’s old and apparently demented. What’s he got to lose?
Send that fat ba$$turd to Gitmo. The difference is “informant” is for criminal investigation for which FISA had issued no warrants yet or “asset” which relates to counter-intel spy op. Find out what term memos referred to them as. That is why they are stonewalling.
How many lies does this POS have to tell, before he is called a pathological liar? I believe he has long since passed into that territory. What a POS.
Was there a benign form of information gathering at the ILLary campaign?
Classic MISINFORMATION/MISDIRECTION campaign.
It was NOT “information gathering” (benign or otherwise); it was use of Agent Provocoteurs to carry out and execute a plan to get marginally associated Trump campaign workers to appear to “collude” with ostensibly Russian affiliates. The plan to be carried out was put together at the highest levels of the Obama Regime.
This all goes back to Clapper not being charged with perjury. It emboldened him insufferably. The entire Left is emboldened. They see that under Sessions’ DOJ, only Trump associates are indicted.
Put simply, there is no benign form of intelligence agency information gathering
on a presidential candidate and his or her campaign.
Either you have a very strong probable cause of a crime or crimes being committed
or you don’t but in either case the snooping is not benign.
Good point.... imagine what’d they would have to pay for aggressive spying?
If these are the folks that “inherited” the murdered cybersecurity expert Wheeler’s work, it makes me wonder if he was murdered by coup planners as a precaution back in December 2010? He was involved in the Wikileaks investigation and an SEC investigation... was it McCabe’s wife or another that was given the SEC job?
Other than the fact it was illegal.
Watergate was only a third-rate burglary.
Informant? Spy? Is that what we’re reduced to? Semantics? It wasn’t the Russians who were trying to rig the election outcome, It was Obama’s White House with the help of British MI6, along with the odd Australian or Canadian.
kinda like lying in the least untruthful manner, is that it?
McCabe's wife is a physician, so it isn't her.
I wish the whole bus load of these turds would go off a cliff....
