James Clapper, Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, told CNN’s Jim Sciutto that President Obama was the one who directed the deep state to “assemble all the reporting” about Russia meddling in the 2016 election. The admission that Obama himself ordered the start of the “witch hunt”, also known as the Russia probe, shows how the administration used its powers to try to develop and create a crime where one did not exist.

In my new book, Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History, he shows how key participants in the “witch hunt” admitted that they never had any credible evidence to launch the Trump-Russia investigation in July of 2019.
Nine months later, when the special counsel was appointed, they still had no evidence to justify their probe. “Collusion” was all based on a pernicious lie drawn largely from a phony “dossier” commissioned by the Clinton campaign and Democrats. Undercover informants found only exculpatory evidence, which was then covered up.
With Mr. Clapper openly saying that it was President Obama himself who ordered the powers of the deep state to be used against Donald Trump, along with the revelation that the Obama White House approved Hunter Biden’s job on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, everyone should be asking what other actions will be revealed when the Inspector General’s FISA abuse report comes out.
Will these parties that disregarded the laws and statutes that protect Americans be held to justice? Or will the deep state once again escape with merely a slap on the wrist?
Are you really that excited by the prospect of 5 more years of Trump’s corruption?
What a time to be alive . . . a political scandal that dwarfs anything Benedict Arnold or Nixon ever did – this will have historians shaking their collective heads for years.
You sound like a troll in everyone’s minds.
Better yet, why did Bill Clinton, as his first official act, fire all US Attorneys and appoint his own team? These clowns have been doing this crud since the Deep State lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to get us into Vietnam.
Yeah, it is called Uranium One. REAL STUFF. Nothing made up there. Russian agents bragged about how Obama, et al, were “in their pockets”. You need to stop hanging around airports and Starbucks being forcibly infused with CNN!
…”they never had any credible evidence to launch the Trump-Russia investigation in July of 2019.” I think you meant 2016…
“escape with only a slap on the wrist”? I’d settle for a slap of any kind. Unfortunately the Deep State always seems to emerge after one of these cathartic episodes stronger and more determined than ever. I fear government corruption has metastasized to the point that our Republic’s condition is terminal. Trump is that last ditch treatment that brings a short period of optimism until the patient is ultimetly consumed at the end.
I agree. Unfortunately that would require some sacrifice and that is something Americans have been conditioned to believe is reserved for men and women in military service.
