FULL TITLE: Clapper Sings – Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Tells CNN Obama Ordered the Trump-Russia Spying Operation (VIDEO)
After two years of investigation Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team of angry Democrats did not find any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller also did not find any evidence of conspiracy after President Trump fired crooked leaker FBI Director James Comey.
Clapper defended the Obama administration’s spying on their political opposition during the election.
And then Clapper appeared to put blame on Barack Obama for spying on his opponent during the 2016 presidential election.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So, how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying — or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?
JAMES CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is — yes, as we’ve come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it’s very hard to explain that. One point I’d like to make, Anderson, that I don’t think has come up very much before, and I’m alluding now to the President’s criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn’t do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren’t for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller’s investigation.

I watched this and didn’t walk away with that impression at all.
He is still as smug as ever.
He still thinks the investigation was a great thing.
Oh oh
Obama always said he was in charge of everything unless it was bad and then he only heard about it on the News ,LOL
The old “I was only following orders” defense.
obama and Hillary should be doing time.
Wait a minute. The conspiracy is that Soetoro, imam Brennan, James Comedy and Hitlery Rosenberg Clinton concocted the whole scenario.
Exactly my impression from that snippet. Obama started it, and I can’t thank him enough.
“obama and Hillary should be doing time”
They are. In fact, they are having a great time.
I often watch things that others say are slam dunks or destructions and walk away thinking it wasn’t all that. I’ve decided those types of headlines must test well as click-baits.
What really creeps me out is, if you watch ANY WW2 movie, Brennan, Mueller, and Clapper look just like some of the SS officera..and not just because their names are German, either
That’s Clapper signing his own hanging warrant.
None of the participants of any of the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will be prosecuted because BOTH parties cooperated in violating the Constitution.
They’d sooner see the country burn than let that out.
I concur to an extent. However, my impression was that he unwittingly pinned a great deal of responsibility on Obama by his comments, which in my opinion is every bit as damning as actually ratting him out.
Unfortunately I believe you're right. He's not only a member of two protected classes (ex-prez and black); he's the first black Prez. No way is he going to prison even though he genuinely deserves it. That's just not how they want this history to be written and frankly; I think it would start the race war the the dems have been fanning for some time now.
Their new defense: It was all “by the book” —
