Clapper: Obama Was Behind The Whole Thing

Via ZeroHedge

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper admitted in a CNN interview Saturday that former President Obama instigated the ongoing investigations into Donald Trump and those in his orbit.

Speaking with CNN‘s Anderson Cooper, Clapper let slip:

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.

Recall in May, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) fired off a letter to the Department of Justice  demanding unredacted versions of text messages between FBI agent Peter Strzok and former bureau attorney Lisa Page, including one exchange which took place after Strzok had returned from London as part of the recently launched “Operation Crossfire Hurricane”  referring to the White House “running” an unknown investigation.

Strzok had been in London to interview Australian ambassador Alexander Downer about a drunken conversation with Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, who – after reportedly being fed information – mentioned Russia having Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Strzok: And hi. Went well, best we could have expected. Other than [REDACTED] quote: “the White House is running this.” My answer, “well, maybe for you they are.” And of course, I was planning on telling this guy, thanks for coming, we’ve got an hour, but with Bill [Priestap] there, I’ve got no control….

Page: Yeah, whatever (re the WH comment). We’ve got the emails that say otherwise.

And with Clapper’s admission – it looks like Strzok’s text stating “the White House is running this” may have been right on the money.

Update: Meanwhile, House Judiciary Chair Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo that the American public needs to see an unredacted version of the Carter Page FISA application.

We can only imagine what’s in there…

For the first time I believe Clapper.

Now I expect Obama and his deep state cronies to be led away in handcuffs. I also expect the Blue Jays to win the world series this year, and I’m sure Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) will fly into my back yard, rip off my clothes, and rape me.

The MSM is sweeping this under the rug as quickly as possible. No mention of this story anywhere except Gateway Pundit and Zero Hedge, that I’ve seen. Ironic that Clapper said it in an interview with Cooper on CNN of all networks.

This hole in the swamp may get even larger now, and drain itself. One can hope. Clapper may end up dead of “natural causes.” I wonder what his buddy Brennan will have to say.

Turn it up.

I told my boss about this today and he said if Trump tweets it, then it’s true. He only has Trumps Twatter account bookmarked.

Still waiting for a tweet from Trump.

Peace

I still don’t think the last president(?) ever had an original idea, much less a clue. So, who instigated this really?

Brennan was running Obama from the moment he took office. Before that really, at least from the time when Brennan got Obama’s passport records fixed.

They funny part is that Clapper is not saying that to implicate Obama, he is saying it, in his mind, as a way to pay homage to Obama. More like thanking him, for being such a good guy and where would we be with out him….what an sack of shit.
