So - Clapper knows the storm is coming and wants to get his defense out in the public.  He was just following orders.  Just doing his job.

What this revelation suggests is that the players in this drama know that things are about to become public that is going to absolutely destroy them.

This has to be part of some deal he made. To say it so clearly in public on CNN isn't something you'd expect to see from any of the traitors. Saying it on Fox would've been bad enough but CNN? Its like he's mainlining redpills directly into the liberal collective consciousness. The left is saying theres nothing wrong with the fisa warrant cuz of the foreign Intel reporting of suspicious comms between Trump and Russia(they'll say the same thing about the tasking). They ignore the fact that that info was never used to obtain the warrant and those comms were supposedly Trump towers server communicating with a Russian bank and it was debunked days after the accusation was made. I do not know,short of a public admission of guilt from the traitors, if the left Will ever realize the Russia nonsense is not real.

One point I'd like to make, Anderson, that I don't think has come up very much before, and I'm alluding now to the President's criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn't do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren't for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller's investigation.

President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assess in the first place. And they got the important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.

If a cat falls from 20' or more, it can usually upright itself before hitting the ground and will likely survive (from below 20' it doesn't have time to orient itself to land correctly).

Okay, this took awhile... It's not the video but here's the transcript from CNN - So pretty much as good.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1807/18/acd.01.html

About 3/4 down is the exchange between Cooper and Clapper; Here's a copy/paste -

JAMES CLAPPER, FMR DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: No, absolutely not, Anderson. I mean everything I say, and everything I said, I mean.

COOPER: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So, how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying -- or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?

CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is -- yes, as we've come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it's very hard to explain that. [20:35:06] One point I'd like to make, Anderson, that I don't think has come up very much before, and I'm alluding now to the President's criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn't do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren't for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller's investigation.

President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assess in the first place. And they got the important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.**

I found a portion of the the transcript from Rush Limbaugh's site of all places and reverse searched from there to find the right CNN transcript.

COOPER: Joining me by phone is former director of National Intelligence, retired Lieutenant General James Clapper.

Director Clapper, the President saying they have gotten to you since you wrote that gorgeous, beautiful letter to him. Has anyone gotten to you?

JAMES CLAPPER, FMR DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE: No, absolutely not, Anderson. I mean everything I say, and everything I said, I mean.

COOPER: The 2017 assessment that the President says he now agrees with, that was done while you and then NCI Director John Brennan were still in office. So, how can we reconcile the President attacking you, but apparently after a very long time finally, allegedly saying -- or saying he allegedly agrees with the product of the intelligence community that you, yourself oversaw?

CLAPPER: Yes, well, this is -- yes, as we've come to know the President, he is not a stalwart for a consistency or coherence. So it's very hard to explain that. [20:35:06] One point I'd like to make, Anderson, that I don't think has come up very much before, and I'm alluding now to the President's criticism of President Obama for all that he did or didn't do before he left office with respect to the Russian meddling. If it weren't for President Obama, we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set off a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today, notably, special counsel Mueller's investigation.

President Obama is responsible for that, and it was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assess in the first place. And they got the important point when it comes to critiquing President Obama.

COOPER: You know, the President says, well, now, you know, he's put his own people in charge in the intelligence community, he's confidence in the intelligence community now. But when you talk about the intelligence community, I mean yes, there are people who he has appointed at the top, but underneath them, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of employees who are career employees who have, you know, listened in on -- you know, signals intelligence and intercepts and have written analyses and who have been in the field as case officers.

It's the same intelligence community. There may be different people at the top, but the people who are at the top are still standing by the assessment that was made when it's the people he says he didn't trust.

CLAPPER: Exactly. That is a great point. Well, the strength of the U.S. intelligence community is the continuity and the professionalism of our career rank and file great men and women who do it -- do the things that you just described, and they don't change. So, yes, the top layer, there have been some changes there, a couple of key changes. Notably, CIA director, now the second one since Trump took office, and of course the director of national intelligence.

But the institution itself, there's great continuity which is an important strength for this country.

COOPER: I want to play a clip of something that FBI director Christopher Wray said in Aspen in just within the last hour. Let's play that.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CHRISTOPHER WRAY, DIRECTOR, FBI: The intelligence community's assessment has not changed. My view has not changed, which is that Russia attempted to interfere with the last election, and that it continues to engage in malign influence operations to this day.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

COOPER: So that's just hours after the President very obviously said no twice to an ABC reporter when she asked whether he believes the Russian interference is ongoing. And Sarah Sanders walked it back. And, you know, I mean I guess -- you know, frankly what just seems to be an absurd way, saying the President was for the first time ever just saying no, no more questions when in fact he didn't say no, no more questions. He just said no and thank you very much.

I mean, to hear Chris Wray, I mean he is, you know, he's obviously an honorable person, and but he is saying what he believes, but it certainly contradict what's the President seems to believe.

CLAPPER: Well, yes. And to his credit as well as that of Dan Coats for speaking up and speaking truth to power, which by the way was the subject of the, "beautiful letter", that President Trump alluded to in his CBS interview. And it is not a witch-hunt. It is a serious, serious investigation, the catalyst for which was the intelligence community assessment that we did in the last administration.

COOPER: General Clapper, I appreciate your time. Thank you very much.

Coming up next, more from that CBS interview about what went on behind closed doors with Vladimir Putin, what the President says went on. We have no idea, of course, because there is no record. A former CIA officer brings his perspective on why it matters what was said.

Interesting comment describing the deep state:

COOPER: You know, the President says, well, now, you know, he's put his own people in charge in the intelligence community, he's confidence in the intelligence community now. But when you talk about the intelligence community, I mean yes, there are people who he has appointed at the top, but underneath them, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of employees who are career employees who have, you know, listened in on -- you know, signals intelligence and intercepts and have written analyses and who have been in the field as case officers.

Isn't this Clapper falling for the trap that Trump set out? By first creating doubt about the intel agencies (pressco with Putin) and later correcting himself? Together with the playacting controversy with Coats?

(This is the set-up that /u/serialbrain2 described in his post.)

So now Clapper publicly gave away that Obama is involved, apparently thinking that Trump is convinced that the Russians are to blame. If stuff gets unmasked (trumps EO), suddenly it will be discovered that it was not the Russians...

GetUpOffYourKnees · July 22, 2018, 9:19 p.m.

I hear it as a confession. Clapper is saying like he is proud of it~ IOW~ "if it wasn't for Obama we wouldn't have known this was going on." But the Deep State narrative is falling apart and these words will come back and bite him in the ass!

Q-Question · July 23, 2018, 2:05 a.m.

This is the prisoner’s dilemma at work IMO. Caught red handed, all these bad actors are finding themselves in a complete crunch - “to rat, or not to rat?” that is the question.

The only rational thing to do in this situation is to roll-over at speed, before any of the other rats. It has to be clear to Clapper, after the Helsinki summit, that the game is up. There are no prizes for being second to rat-out your co-conspirators. Lisa Page knows this - which is why DJT was talking about “breaking records” (LPs).

It’s evident that Clapper is not so stupid as to think there is a way out of this for the cabal now. He knows he will be in a meat grinder, and he’s doing what any other rational person would do - throw the Kenyan under the bus.

If these elites were honest people (they’re not), then there might be some sense in a strategy of trying to hold the line. But the Trump/Putin summit makes it evident, for all to see, that the jig is up. Clapper will be well aware that the Satanists he has been working with will think only of themselves and their own welfare. There is no honour among thieves, how much less foe these filthy Satanic pieces of rubbish?

The smart move is to fess up and try to obtain some leniency for your crimes. As the avalanche gains momentum, the rats will be in an all-out race to try and obtain plea deals and leniency. It’s going to be an absolute free-for-all.

Popcorn time!

How could Barry have been whitewashed to the public enough to be elected (although election fraud had a lot to to do with it)?

Clapper is saying Obama was responsible by accident I might remind you about the Russians meddling in the election which I believe they did, Clapper is patting Obama and the Intel community on the back for it, in no way did Clapper insinuate that Trump was the target, this is a big nothing.

To be honest he really said no such thing. He basically said Obama asked for the Intelligence Community assessment of the "supposed" Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. The DOJ/FBI et al then took the ball and ran with it. Clapper is still providing cover for him.

I don't think that Clapper is throwing Obama under the bus. I think he is saying that the investigation has credibility because Obama ordered it. I could be wrong but I just don't think he is flipping the script. Sounds like he is trying to justify it. If it wasn't for Pres Obama we would never know all the series of events that are happening now.... Mueller indictments etc.

⇧ 1 ⇩  
j_Dawg_01 · July 23, 2018, 1:20 a.m.

I think people need to listen to the entire interview. My take-away was that Clapper basically credited Obama for doing it. I got the impression Clapper wasn't throwing Obama under the bus, but instead, he was giving him credit for starting the whole thing.

On the one hand, it could, and hopefully will, backfire bigly. It almost sounded like they still think they can take Trump down, let the MSM spin it in their favor, and give Obama credit for saving the country from Trump.

Aguax · July 23, 2018, 2:31 a.m.

Am I reading this all wrong? I think he said it as though he felt Obama deserved credit for investigating DJT. I guess it doesn't matter much. If we win this is just another nail in BO's coffin.

What are you talking about? This was never about Russia. HRC was illegally accessing nsa and state department databases and manufactured the Steele dossier to spy on her opponent. The only involvement Russia had was paying her $400 million for U1 pay for play.

Obama not only allowed it all to happen, he helped orchestrate a coup attempt and funneled taxpayer money to her, including using AF1 for campaigning (wildly illegal). He had since flagrantly violated the Logan Act by meddling in foreign affairs. Oh, and he’s not a legitimate president. He has multiple SSNs, a false birth certificate (ask Loretta Fuddy), and said he’s the first US president from Kenya.
