What if it’s always the same guy that Hussein was [and still is] out to get?

IT IS NOT ROUTINE FOR THAT many requests, from that many people, one one person. Klapper is full of it.

If it was ‘routine’ then they wouldn’t be masked in the first place.

If it was ‘routine’ then it wouldn’t show an increase of whatever 1000’s % over the last year of the administration.

Was it also routine to inform the Washington Post?

It may be routine, but leaking info obtained by unmasking American citizens is a felony.

Clapper, like all RATs, is a pathological liar.

Clapper, Feinstein Ask For Leniency For Senate Staffer Implicated In Leaking Probe

Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wrote a letter asking for leniency for the Senate Intelligence Committee’s former security director who pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about his contact with a reporter.
James Wolfe “lied to FBI agents in a December 2017 interview in connection with the FBI’s probe of leaks of information regarding the activities of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to various reporters,” his lawyer wrote. “It is a decision, along with his breaking his marital vows and violating his former employer’s rules regarding contacts with the media, that he deeply regrets.”
Clapper submitted a handwritten letter to the judge supporting Wolfe, saying “knowing Jim as I do, I know this whole experience — and its exposure in the media — has been very traumatic for him already. I would hope the court would consider his long and faithful service, as well as what he has endured so far — in sentencing and would recommend minimal confinement.”
Republican intelligence committee chairman Richard Burr and with Democratic ranking member Dianne Feinstein also wrote to “seek leniency in the sentencing of Mr. James Wolfe … we do not seek to diminish the seriousness of the allegations against Jim, nor diminish the significance of misleading federal agents … but we ask that the totality of his service and career be taken into consideration.”
The sentencing documents were first reported by BuzzFeed News, which once employed Ali Watkins, a reporter with whom Wolfe had a relationship.
Separately, Feinstein’s driver was outed as a Chinese spy, something she quietly swept under the rug.

“It’s a routine thing. It’s appropriate and legitimate when you have a valid foreign intelligence target engaging with a U.S. person. Is it, for example, an insider, someone in the government engaging with a foreign adversary? So it’s important from the standpoint of potential jeopardy to national security that you understand what’s going on.”

Meanwhile, Obama was inviting terrorists to the White House, Hillary was removing the roadblocks so Tariq Aziz could enter the country, Obama was letting Cuban intelligence officials four SOCOM, and so on.

This is how the Lewinsky situation started. First they all defend him, then they keep adjusting the talking points as more facts are revealed, often contradicting points they made a day prior.
Then the huge show of faith and support then finally they slink away.
