Former President Obama’s intelligence chief on Monday said he hoped special counsel Robert Mueller would wrap up his Russia investigation soon and tell the country whether there was any collusion between Moscow and President Trump’s campaign.
“I think the overarching point here is that this whole issue has to come to a resolution,” Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in an interview with Hill.TV’s new morning show, "Rising."
“At some point special counsel Mueller and his team I hope will wrap up the investigation and clear the air one way or the other whether or not there was collusion with the Russians,” he added. “This is a cloud that is hanging over the country and certainly hanging over this presidency. And I do hope that happens, and soon.”
Clapper also addressed last week’s Justice Department inspector general report, saying anti-Trump text messages between FBI agents were “not good, particularly using a government issued device,”
But he said he has not seen evidence yet that those opinions affected the outcome of the Clinton email or Trump-Russia probes. "But the actual impact on the investigation, I don’t see much of that,” he said.
With new reports that government officials have been using private email accounts, Clapper said his practice when he was director of national intelligence was to let his private email “go dormant” and to forward any government business accidentally sent to it to his official account.
And Clapper said the weekend reports that Trump's friend Roger Stone had a contact with a Russian figure during the election was just more evidence of “these frequent meetings between members of the Trump camp and the Russians.”

Also the longer this drags on the worse the FBI and DOJ look. The investigation is unveiling things they don't want revealed.

Dang, that’s the left sending Mueller a lesson!
Trump! You magnificent bastard! Just curious how the Deep State will shift it’s tactics as this is yet another sign they’re defeated! My guess is voter fraud for the mid-terms!
The issue is that the CIA has not gone through the same scrutiny as the FBI. It needs to. And Clapper would be in trouble if it did.
Yes, voter fraud hoes unpunished and will increase in 2018. Bet on it.
Even the Dems have had enough of this expensive, tedious Parlor Game.
At $800/hr? Hell no, Mueller and his thug lawyer cabal are going to milk this cow as long as they can get away with it.
Hoes= goes
Yes, that is what I was thinking. The longer the Mueller “investigation” drags on, the more likely it will be that others are caught up in being exposed for their bias and conspiring behaviors against POTUS. JMHO
Don’t like the heat in the kitchen, don’t turn on the oven.
Either word works.
Probably this POS fears something coming out about his conspiracy in the whole thing.
Let’s look into the frame job and spying done by the FBI and CIA on American citizens/candidates.
Hi.
“The investigation is unveiling things they don’t want revealed.”
Yep. How ironic?
Your sham investigation is busting you.

Clapper wants to get of the radar.
Especially when there is no collusion.
No way Mueller and the Rats stop this nonsense before the midterms. In their minds they will get a majority in the house and will impeach Trump. If Mueller closes the investigation down and doesn’t charge Trump with collusion or obstruction this complicates their plan to destroy the president.
Clapper thinks Mueller should fold his tent and slink away BEFORE the second IG report blows the Russian Collusion scam wide open and forces him to resign.
With each passing week this goes on, two things happen:
1. President Trump gets stronger and more popular.
2. Mueller's team looks like a bunch of morons who shouldn't have been allowed to graduate from middle school, let alone top U.S. law schools.
I would cut Clapper and Comet some slack if they hadn’t have done the January briefing (setup) and then told the press that Trump had been briefed about the dossier.
That has soured me to no end about those two. It proves they were in on the scam.
