Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper revealed in an interview last week that if not for President Obama asking for an intelligence community assessment that "set off a whole sequence of events" we would not have the Mueller investigation. Clapper, a CNN contributor, said the effects of that intel assessment "are still unfolding today."
"One point I'd like to make,(Snip) 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

Let's just say for the record, if the Obama administration knew or suspected Russians were meddling in the election, why didn't they warn both campaigns? You know, sort of a 'be on the lookout for.' If there's a bad guy roaming your neighborhood the cops don't ignore it, they warn everyone to stay inside and to lock their doors and windows. Right?

Of course, obama ordered the spying on the Trump campaign and the witch hunt to find dirt to run Trump from office. We have known that from the beginning.

Thank goodness Obama ordered this investigation. Without him doing this we would never have been put through two years of nothingness. This country was very lucky to have Valerie Jarrett in charge of the Mongolian Candidate.

Clapper is playing CYA by throwing Smidgen under the bus. But he’s trying to do it in a nice complimentary way.

The question is who ordered the as yet unidentifiable “Contractors” to free and unlimited 302/702 intercepts in 2009?

More Bull Schiff from Clapper.
Sure, Obama ordered an intelligence review, but he also declared the Russians had interfered in our elections in 2014 too, and that the 2016 interference did not change or alter the election.
Rod Rosenstein also stated this clearly too.
Notice they don't counter, or add-in, such details, but will criticize this president even when things are good, they will still point out some critique, or criticism?

The Obama administration began spying on Americans shortly after taking office in 2009. The spying evolved into political dirty tricks, including swaying the elections for Democrats through investigations, and leaks to the press. When Trump was elected, the Obama administration and the Deep State, that had done all the dirty work, knew Trump's appointees were going to discover all the wrongdoing, when they took the helm. To avoid discovery, Obama and the Deep State swept all the dirt into a Special Counsel investigation, to hide the documents of their corruption behind a methods and procedures, and national security shield, that they knew is almost impossible to penetrate. But it is hard to hide a theft, when all the furniture in the room has disappeared.

Talk about CYA! We all know that Clapper, Brennan, Comey and many, many more were in on the Coup. Maybe Obama was too, we may never find out as he's pretty well protected from investigation. I do think Barr, Horowitz and Durham are going to poke the Hornet's Nest enough that the Hornets will try to protect themselves by handing over those close to them who were involved. Should be a good show and a great Movie!!

So Clapper and the other people in Obama's government did everything by the book, eh? Which book? Alinsky's Rules for Radicals? That excuse did not work for the criminals in Hitler's government.

BO, Mr. Clean, just got handed a mud pie for a snack. Of course it's all garbage. BO will claim it is well within presidential power to order such an assessment. He will be well insulated from all the lies made by his people. Poor BO, too dumb to know what was really going on.

Nah, it wasn't Barry Soetoro the Fraud. He is just the shiny hood ornament with neither the intelligence nor initiative to do much of anything. He just fronts for a cabal of Chicago communists of which Valerie Jarrett may be the titular head.

Obama was spying on and threatening everybody. How do you think he got Justice Roberts to write the most incomprehensible Supreme Court opinion (on Obamacare) ever!

Clapper could be planting this story much as Susan Rice wrote her inauguration day “memo to self” about their having done everything “by the book”. Used the so-called assessment of Russian threat to go after Donald J. Trump.
