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

No way this line of thought or excuses is going to play at my coffee shop.

Clapper, you’re getting your timeline confused. You, Brennen and Comey started the spying game when you thought hrc was going to win, remember. Before there was any supposed collusion. You invented the collusion scenario.
You’re a liar as are your cohorts. You’re going to be prosecuted for yor efforts and spend a l-o-n-g time in jail

The deep state skunks have made these kind of claims repeatedly over getting information unredacted. Every single time, that was not the case - they wanted their criminal activity to remain hidden. That is clearly the case here.

Well, conveniently for the Democrats, they have another school shooting to give them news cover as another layer of their conspiracy is peeled off while no one is looking. Seems like every time things heat up for the rats there’s a school shooting.
I hope this old onion is a small one because they could run out of schools and crazed shooters before we get to the green sprout in the center.

Why worry? Clapper is just a crazy old man? Not so fast. Clapper and Brennan were witnesses that the mindless Senate Intel Committee heeded to reach the conclusion that "The Russians" must have helped Trump. Otherwise, Hillary would have won.

And that is the crux of this entire charade: Otherwise, Hillary would have won.

Everything from Her Heinous's gazillion and counting excuses to the social media groups and trolls to the collusion allegations is predicated on the notion that only voting for Hillary was logical and anything else was suspect.

Oh, no, Mr. Criminal.

It’s time for you to go to prison for a very long time.

That's what I told John Cornyn's staffer when he told me that's why the senate intel committee can't tell us why they think the deep state Russia lie is true. The keep crying Wolf and think people believe them.

The deep state Clapper and Brennan are open about their coup attempt against the Republic. It’s amazing how brazen and unapologetic they are

America is much closer to full banana republic status than almost anyone realizes

RE: the spying started before they knew Trump would win

The spying on Flynn started in 2015, before Flynn was involved in any political campaign. That should worry every American, because if your current administration doesn't like your way of thinking, you could be spied on, entrapped and God knows what else whenever they feel like it. Isn't that the whole point of collecting every digital communication? The spying on Trump, specifically, began before he was likely to be the Republican nominee. Think about that a moment. Doesn't that suggest the other 15 or so Republican candidates were spied on, too, and that all kinds of traps were being laid?

Clapper: It’s ‘A Good Thing’ FBI Was Spying On Trump Campaign
 
The menace isn't just from rogue bureaucrats. The disquieting part is that from what I've seen across social media, there are numerous "fellow Americans" who would not only agree with Clapper, but are somewhat annoyed that it didn't garner the sort of results expected, and that the Obama Regime didn't do more of it.

Clapper’s type have already destroyed the FBI. And the fact that he thinks it was okay to plant someone to spy on Trump and his campaign, proves it. I hope Clapper is one of the first, to have his head in a noose. (There are so many who need to be first, they’ll have to draw straws.)
