"Consistency or Coherence"? This from the liar before Congress?

And what's this about attacking Obama (i.e., apparently seeking to shift the blame) for tasking Clapper and/or Brennan to do the intelligence assessment?

Just because they may well have been so tasked, where does that necessarily imply the duo would pollute that assessment by "stapling on" the salacious, unverified (made-up, DNC/H paid-for hit-piece) dossier?

No, Clapper, this is not your "I vus chust follovink ordersss" moment.

This is the first time that someone has actually implicated Obama as the point man in getting the investigation going. I’d say he had a “meaningful” conversation with Comey....whom EVERYONE expected to be fired on day one of Trump’s administration.

Democrat, Barack Hussein Obama was and still is the disgusting anti-American, human product birthed by the American, Racist Hater, Rev, Jeremiah Wright...period.

The sooner the American people come to that conclusion, the better off they and the future of the American Republic will be.

Rainbow colored flying unicorns and believing that Obama wasn’t involved-

Each require total suspension of reality.

Personally, I don’t care about B-HO. No deals! I want all the minions prosecuted. Nothing will hurt worse or generate more hatred of the no talent junior senator as he skates on this - and it will send a message to future synchophants of the corrupt.

On 1/20/17, minutes before the Donald takes the oath, rat faced Susan Rice writes an email to herself documenting a meeting where Obama orders that investigation into the Donald be conducted “by the book”.

What a laugh.

Hopefully they will find someone on the bottom and give them full immunity to squeal on everyone. Since they all were so sure the hildabeast would win they didn’t bother covering their tracks considering all the texts we have seen so far.

The REAL collusion was between BOTH parties allowing the Kenyan from Indonesia to usurp the office that the Constitution says he may not hold.

Barack Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

He was born a British subject and a Kenyan national, wherever he was born.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizen because they CANNOT possibly be anything else.
Natural born citizens have ONE nationality.
Anyone born of foreign nationals are themselves born foreign nationals, even if we foolishly give them citizenship.
They are NOT NATURALLY Americans.

Clapper is moving blame to Obongo because he knows no one will touch him. The smart move is to put as much blame as possible on the one guy no one has the stones to go after.

Oh no no no.
None of that kind of stupid protecting Obama shit.
Convict yes.
But life in an American prison?

Oh HELL NO.

Remember that Egypt claims to have evidence that the Obama administration financed a coup to overthrow their Government...even though we were allies.

Grant Egypt their extradition, and let Egypt take care of the trash on Egypt’s dime.

By pointing the finger at Obama Clapper is trying to make the GOP go after the Kenyan who the left knows is protected(sacred) as well as history. It would be O.J. all over again. Don’t swallow the bait.

I’d vote for jail for him

Here’s how that “email to self” by Rice is supposed to work .... and how to circumvent it:

Done, this is from last week’s interview. First I’ve heard of it.

If the quote in the excerpt is the money quote from the interview, then the title of the post or the title from the source is in error.

The quote does not have Clapper saying that Obama ordered the spying on Trump. All it has clapper saying is that as far as the concern that Russia was meddling in the 2016 elections, Obama tasked the intelligence community to “assess” that.

After that, the DOJ & FBI taking the Steele Dossier and from it snagging Trump into that “intelligence” net, with personal encouragement from John Brennan, is a different matter.

On that score if the hoaxsters felt they needed the highest authority to include Trump in their “Russia is meddling net” (not sure the hoaxsters felt they needed it), that would have been an FBI &/or DOJ (Lynch???) conversation with Obama. THAT would be the “smoking gun”.

Then the questions concerning Obama and Lynch would be - did they know the provenance of the Steele Dossier, and did they know none of it was vetted while much of it was unverifiable rumor? That DOJ/FBI to Obama connection is required because you do not get from a simple intelligence assessment of possible Russian meddling in the 2016 election, to the point of snagging the Trump campaign into it, without the Steele Dossier - an opposition research project of Billary, Inc. and the DNC. And the actions that did the drawing of Trump into the “Russian meddling” intelligence net, were actions by DOJ/FBI and not Clapper.

No deals! They all are tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang for treason.
