He Lied to Congress About Leaking Details On the Steele Dossier
Clapper leaked information about the dossier to Jake Tapper of CNN, lied to Congress about leaking, and was then given a contributor contract with CNN a few months later.
The question is, why are the lies continually excused? As a federal employee who lied to Congress, Clapper received a free pass from Barack Obama’s FBI. As a private citizen, he gets paid to spin his own crimes on television. Clapper is a serial fabricator who can’t even keep his own lies straight.
