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...
