On Monday former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper went on with CNN’s Anderson Cooper to discuss the Mueller Report after its release on Sunday. 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.

Is Clapper from Planet Beldar? Or is he from France?
As an authentic Conehead - - he´s probably from both.

And there it is. Don’t blame us, we were just following orders. Which means that Clapper realizes there’s legal jeopardy ahead.

Clapper fancies himself Lex Luthor. But his intelligence is that of Ned Beatty´s dimwitted henchman character. And he´s using the Adolph Eichmann defense: I vas only followink orders!

FTA:
Clapper said: "President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place."
OK, you let them rattle on long enough and eventually they screw up and tell you the truth. Now we know Obama initiated the illegal attempt to smear Trump, which eventually resulted in the coup attempt after Trump was elected.
And Obama was entirely uninterested in "Russian interference" prior to them deciding to convert this nothingburger into a weapon to use against Trump.

Hoft is doing a mistaken happy dance here. Clapper did not “sing” - he planted this concept deliberately. For a purpose.
Read the CTH article linked in #17. Jim Hoft should read it, too.

This was Clapper intending to praise Obama after Trump accused Obama of ignoring Russian meddling. What Clapper said comes out as damning both Obama and the special counsel for the collusion fiasco. Expect Clapper´s clarification soon.

This is calculated. Release it now. Say it’s no big deal. Draw out the explosion of the bomb over the course of months and the final bang won’t be as big. They know Obama is going to come under scrutiny. This is attempt to save him.

Well, where else would the order have come from? This is no surprise coming from the most corrupt and incompetent administration in the history of the United States. We still wonder how did this lazy, shiftless, unaccomplished nobody got elected in the first place.

Clapper should be placed under oath and publicly asked questions regarding what he meant and what he knows, as well as what Obama knew and when he knew it.

As Obama prepares to testify under oath to Senate Investigating Committees just as Hillary, and many others before him have done.
"Senator, I have no recollection of that ever happening".
OK...case closed.

Supposedly, BO´s team is trying to establish a justification for all their actions based on the "possibility" that Trump was a Russian mole. The fact that the "possibility" was manufactured of paid Russian sources by Hillary Clintoon and the DNC via Christoper Steele and Fusion GPS is glossed over.
Clapper is trying to fall back on "What would you have done if you thought a presidential candidate was a Russian affiliate?". "Wasn´t it reasonable to investigate further?"
The right answer is, "Wasn´t your evidence for that "possibility" a political hit piece that you accepted and PUSHED without questioning it?". Then start asking, "Who knew the sources of the Steele dossier?". Shouldn´t the source have been one of the first questions asked. If the RNC had written a paper saying BO was an Iranian spy, would you accept it without SERIOUS doubt.
The non questioning of the dossier was a political plan and decision. It was the foundation of corruption in the FBI, DOJ, Intelligence agencies, and other areas of government.

For James Clapper that interview was a CYA try, certainly for himself, and by extension for the rest of the Obama crew.
He never explained how the Russians tampering in the US electoral process turned into both counterintelligence and special counsel investigations targeting President Trump, his campaign and Administration. Just because the Obama crew did not like Trump’s political agenda and way getting into position to negotiate with foreign leaders did not amount to any sort of probable cause to initiate federal and international investigations targeting Trump. If those factors caused the Obama Intelligence big-timers to believe that Trump was a Russian agent, USA intelligence is in a very bad way indeed.
Since assuming office Trump has treated President Putin of Russia about the same as Trump has treated Chairman Kim of North Korea, very personable, but as we saw with Kim, once it became evident that it was not in the USA national interest to further negotiate with Kim, Trump walked out, got on Air Force One and returned to the USA. No doubt Trump would take the same course with Putin, as with his attempt to negotiate with Kim, but obviously the Democrats, Obama, and his crew and their media operatives were not even willing to give Trump that chance. Clearly that was pretty arrogant on Obama and his crew’s part.
The Russians are always going to be out there trying to meddle in the USA electoral processes, so we probably have not seen anything yet as more adversarial countries try to do the same. Chances are the Obama crew, while Clinton was Secretary of State, through the CIA tried to meddle in a Russian national election, course such meddling would be an Obama era “Top Secret” but those efforts probably caught the very nationalistic Russians eyes.

Thanks, #17/18.
Now it looks to me like THIS is what ´the insurance policy´ was/is.
They were going to try a coup, but ´the insurance policy´ if they failed was to pretend that they were actually convinced, by real evidence, that Trump was a Russian agent.
Prove that they faked the early origins, as Sundance says, and that is how you blow up their insurance policy and get these traitors into prison.
The old saying is, "If you strike the King, you must slay him" - or you need an "insurance policy" if you fail.

I guarantee that there isnt a written directive signed by obama anywhere to be found.
And this may very well explain why he has been silent on the russia collusion hysteria.

"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".
Clapper´s fat jaw just unwittingly admitted the insurance policy started by Obama!!!
