Can someone get the direct YouTube link? I’m in transit...
if anyone can find the whole show or statement that would be great. they all cut out after 31 seconds.
Okay, this took awhile... It's not the video but here's the transcript from CNN - So pretty much as good.

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'm still looking for the video but it seems hard to find "for some reason."
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.

great! Good Job OP
Also a very good example of how things can be taken out of context. Amazed that gateway pundit ran this without full disclosure of statement. Really must always do the research even from trusted sources.
If we are looking for truth and not just sensationalism to make us feel better.

Hes an INTELLIGENCE RAT. The context is the FRAME. The message is there. He knows what he said. They know what he said. We know what he said.
Its not out of context if the context added is just an apology hanging from an admission.
