Former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, just admitted that his former boss, Barack Obama, is responsible for the witch hunt aimed at President Trump.
Near the end of an interview on CNN with Anderson Cooper, Clapper said:
“If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.”
It was only this past May that Clapper claimed that he was “sure” Obama “had no knowledge” of spies within Trump’s campaign.
At that time, former George W. Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer said: “I guarantee the answer is yes” to whether Obama knew Halper & others were deployed to spy on Trump campaign.” He went on to explain that explained that no FBI director would imbed informants inside a presidential campaign with the president authorizing it.
Fleischer was referring to Trump campaign spy, Stefan Halper who was paid more than $1 million by the federal government beginning in 2012 during Obama’s second term in office. The same month, September 2016, that Hillary Clinton’s campaign began to push the “Russia collusion” hoax, Halper as paid, $400,000 in taxpayer money.
Daily Caller New Foundation investigative reporter Chuck Ross revealed that Halper, a professor at Cambridge University has high-level ties to both U.S. and British intelligence.
It was that revelation that caused Trump to tweet:
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the (FBI and Department of Justice) infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political purposes — and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!
The first of September 2016, now defrocked FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok sent a text to his lover, former lawyer Lisa Page, sent a text concerning talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama. Strzok texted Page, “potus wants to know everything we’re doing.”
Now it seems that Clapper has told so many lies that he let slip what many already suspected – It isn’t if Barack Obama knew anything about the Russia probe before the election but rather when did he know it?
This is hardly the first time that James Clapper, the former director of the most powerful intelligence agency in the world, has been caught red-handed lying to the American people.
Senator Ron Wyden asked Clapper in 2013. “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions, of Americans?”
Wyden did not ask Clapper about any specific program but simply asked if the NSA was collecting any data at all on Americans. Clapper’s immediate answer was, “No.” Rather than admitting he lied, when questioned before Congress five years later, he doubled down by denying any such actions again.
The truth is that throughout the Obama era officials that answered directly to the President like James Clapper, Robert Mueller, James Comey, and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were involved in spying carried out on U.S. citizens including then private citizen Donald Trump.
As early as 2009, just one year into Obama’s first term, Clinton set up an unauthorized, unsecured, non-government server for her official communications. It was later learned that she and Obama communicated illegally over that insecure system.
In April 2016, a well-known Russian cyber operation called Fancy Bear penetrated the DNC systems leading to Comey’s investigation and quick decision to exonerate Clinton.
So what year did the Russians seek to tamper in our elections? 2016. Who was head of the CIA in 2016? John Brennan. Who was head of the FBI in 2016? Comey. And before him? Robert Mueller. Who was the director national intelligence in 2016? That would be James Clapper. And who was the President? Barack Obama.
