In the transcript and the video below, Obamas Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, speaks to CNNs Jim Sciutto and makes the stunning admission that hed been following Obamas orders and he says it twice. This is very big news because its the first time a member of the deep state has admitted that President Obama was not only aware of the investigation, but was issuing orders to his team. What were we supposed to have done
blown off what the then commander-in-chief, President Obama, told us to do? And, as if we missed it the first time, he says it again. Its kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for, you know having done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president. Jim Sciutto: As you know, the President has members of this government, you have the Attorney General traveling the world now meeting with U.S. intelligence partners trying to find out, in his view, whether they participated in some sort of Obama administration led effort to undermine President Trump in the last election here. You also know that John Durham who is a prosecutor here, a senior justice department official, hes pursuing his own investigations on the origins of that probe. Are you concerned that Barrs or Durhams investigation will find wrongdoing and seek to punish former intelligence officials? James Clapper: Well, I uh, I dont know. I, I, I dont think there was any wrongdoing. I think at the time all of us were trying to navigate a very, very difficult, politically fraught, highly charged situation. I know, for my part, my main concern was the Russians, and the threat posed by the Russians to our very political fabric. The message Im getting from all this is, apparently what we were supposed to have done was to ignore the Russian interference, ignore the Russian meddling and the threat that it poses to us, and oh, by the way, blown off what the then commander-in-chief, President Obama, told us to do, which was to assemble all the reporting that we could that we had available to us and put it in one report that the president could pass on to the Congress and to the next administration. And while were at it, declassify as much as we possibly could to make it public, and thats what we did. Jim Sciutto: One issue Im (crosstalk) James Clapper: Its kind of disconcerting now to be investigated for, you know having done our duty and done what we were told to do by the president. |
Clapper makes these statements in such a deadpan voice, we dont realize at first the gravity of his words. But this is the first time a deep state insider has connected Obama to this travesty. Rush Limbaugh was over the moon as he read this transcript to his listeners on Monday. He said: Ive been waiting for this. A lot of people have been waiting for this. Heres Clapper saying, I didnt do anything wrong! We didnt do anything wrong, cause we were doing what Obama told us to do. The question he was asked is (summarized), Are you worried about this investigation that Barr and hes teams running against you? Are you worried? You, Clapper and Brennan, are you guys worried? (muttering) Oh, no. Of course not. Why? (muttering) The president told us to do all that! (muttering) Obama was the president of the United States. Uhhh, the chief executive, uh, commander-in-chief told us to do all that. Really? Folks, can you say in any other time and place bombshell? |
In a text message dated September 2, 2016, from former FBI lawyer Lisa Page to fired FBI official Peter Strzok, she wrote: potus wants to know everything were doing. The two were putting together a list of talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey who was scheduled to meet with Obama. I suppose weve just heard Clappers defense. I was just following orders. Ive heard thats what the Nazis said at the Nuremberg trials. Im willing to bet that wherever Obama is right now, hes not too happy! |
