Auburn85 432 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 https://www.mediaite.com/columnists/remember-when-james-clapper-categorically-denied-any-wiretap-against-trump-campaign/ Quote Why in the world would the mainstream media continue to takeJames Clapper seriously? In March the former Director of National Intelligence under PresidentBarack Obama appeared on Meet the Press to respond to PresidentDonald Trump‘s now-infamous tweets regarding a “wiretap” related to his campaign during the Obama Administration. Host Chuck Toddasked Clapper point-blank whether any wiretap had occurred: But I will say that, for the part of the national security apparatus that I oversaw as DNI, there was no such wiretap activity mounted against– the president elect at the time, or as a candidate, or against his campaign. I can’t speak for other Title Three authorized entities in the government or a state or local entity. Follow Kyle Griffin ✔@kylegriffin1 Watch. Fmr. DNI Clapper: "There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, president-elect, candidate or campaign." 10:24 AM - Mar 5, 2017 582582 Replies 2,1102,110 Retweets 2,5642,564 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy Clapper’s answer appeared unequivocal, but there was still a little wiggle room. So Todd, to his credit, drilled down and asked a very specific question about a very specific scenario: TODD: Yeah, I was just going to say, if the F.B.I., for instance, had a FISA court order of some sort for a surveillance, would that be information you would know or not know? CLAPPER: Yes. TODD: You would be told this? CLAPPER: I would know that. TODD: If there was a FISA court order– CLAPPER: Yes. TODD: –on something like this. CLAPPER: Something like this, absolutely. TODD: And at this point, you can’t confirm or deny whether that exists? CLAPPER: I can deny it. Now we learn that there was, in fact, a FISA court order and it came from the FBI and Clapper, in his own words, claimed he would have known about that. And he denied it, unequivocally. Maybe he forgot all about the FISA order wiretapping Paul Manafort while he was in direct contact with Trump in his campaign and after the election. Clapper also “forgot” that the NSA had a data collection program of every single American citizen when he testified before the Senate Intelligence committee and denied its existence. James Clapper, former DNI chief and now, favorite guest of media outlets looking to attack President Trump, either has a terrible, terrible memory, or he was kept in the dark about a FISA order that occurred on his watch, or he’s just a liar. Can’t think of any other options here, can you? I ask again, why in the world would the mainstream media continue to take James Clapper seriously? Or, for that matter, book him as a guest?

WDavE 332 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I wish Hillary had been under surveillance for two years and I also always wish they had raided her house looking for records back 11 years. I wonder what her books title would have been then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
