Clapper: It’s ‘A Good Thing’ FBI Was Spying On Trump Campaign
Daily Caller ^ | 5/18/2018 | Julia Nista

Posted on 05/18/2018 10:11:02 AM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

Clapper admitted the FBI “may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign,” referring to President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He explained away the possibility of an FBI informant spying on the campaign as the bureau was trying to find out “what the Russians were doing to try to substantiate themselves in the campaign or influence or leverage it.”

Obama’s Director of National Intelligence then went on to say, “So, if there was someone that was observing that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.”

He also stated he believes “it’s hugely dangerous if someone like that is exposed because the danger to that person” and the potential “reluctance of others to be informants for the FBI” could possibly devastate the FBI

Trump should order investigations right now on all Dem Congress and Senate candidates and potential Pres candidates, publish their emails and phone records weekly....

....Fusion GPS, Hillary's campaign and Obama officials—were all focused on destroying Donald Trump.
The FBI got involved using very suspect methodologies. One crucial question is how early this all happened?.........

ITEM——Hillary Clinton ran in the 2008 and 2016 democratic primaries----and in the 2016 general election.

ITEM——S/C Mueller “uncovered” that the "Russian collusion scheme" apparently "materialized sometime in 2014.

Now, here’s the $64,000 question not addressed———

Why didn’t the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama’s PDB’s falsified? CIA-Brennan got outed as calculatedly working the phony "pee dossier" into Obama's PDB.

Dates are important b/c Snowden’s’ revelations indicate Obama’s government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on Americans in 2001.

The Obama police state succeeded in mastering the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know:

<><>(A) traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

BOOM.

We were bound to reach the "It's not Watergate if we do it" stage. The NY Times has started the squawking and CNN, MSNBC, and the other media parrots will be chorusing it shortly.

If it was a good thing for Obama to spy on Trump’s campaign, obviously it will be a good thing for Trump to spy on Kamala Harris’s campaign, and Elizabeth Warren’s campaign, and Joe Biden’s campaign, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and Corey Booker’s campaign, and whatever other Democrat who runs’ campaign.

Clapper is going to do time starting soon. The wheels are coming off. Look for continuous wailing and gnashing of teeth in the coming weeks.

You know with Kerry talking to Iran and Clapper with EU, they are both conducting foreign affair non-authorized meetings — FISA with NSA up their backsides.

To do that you need swamp officials. If you made a DC Insider doll it would look just like Kerry. They are unlikely to work against one of their own.

Someone needs to post a photo of the last group of traitors that were hung after a trial at the Capitol Prison. It was about two months after the plotters did the Lincoln Assassination in their attempt to change the President, military tribunal, justice was swift and certain.

I never recall two more sinister, arrogant, creepy and generally disgusting characters to bubble up in DC swamp than Clapper and Brennan. Quite a pair, and to think that they were heading two agencies most important to our national security.

One argument they have that the Russians were against H is that they were convinced she was a sure winner, and wanted to start undermining her early. But even if so, their efforts to influence the election were laughable.

In other words, it’s OK if America isn’t a free country.

the point everyone seems to miss is that now that the FBI and other intelligence people have admitted they had at least one spy inside the campaign, why was Mueller necessary? Had there been collusion it would have been known at the time it happened, and they probably could have stopped Trump before the election. But, there was nothing. So all this is a continuing charade by people who are bent on destroying the country for personal gain.

Clapper? I can’t think of an uglier, more evil man unless it’s Brennan.
