Clapper Hears Barr's 'Chilling' Footsteps
[American Thinker] They really counted on Hillary winning, didn't they? Former director of National Intelligence James Clapper is in panic mode, realizing that the so-called "intelligence community" he supervised under President Obama is about to be revealed by Atty. Gen. William Barr and U.S. atty. John Durham as a weaponized arm of the Clinton campaign, with indictments to follow.

The man who lied to Congress about spying on the American people was shocked back in April to hear Barr testify before Congress that yes, he thought the Trump campaign had been spied upon by his political opponents. As Breitbart reported:
Well, I thought it was most stunning and scary. I was amazed at that and rather disappointed that the attorney general would say such a thing. The term "spying" has all kinds of negative connotations, and I have to believe he chose that term deliberately. And I think it's incredible that if he has concerns, he would have easily on his first day on the job, after his confirmation, asked his own IG, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, for a briefing on his preliminary, in the course of his investigation, that is, the IG's investigation, whether there was any wrongdoing by the FBI. I think it would have been far more appropriate for him to just defer to that investigation rather than postulating, apparently with no evidence. He just has a feeling that there was spying against the campaign.
Barr has more than that, it would seem, and has sent chills up Clapper's spine that he and Durham are dead serious about checking out the real reasons for the Intelligence Community's "assessment" that Russia wanted Trump to win and was meddling in the election to achieve that result. According to a Wall Street Journal report:

#1 2000 years in jail sounds about right for a coup plotter.

#2 #1, I disagree. A tall tree, a short rope and a very nervous horse sound more appropriate.

Is American Thinker also American Mind Reader?

I'm rooting for this to happen, but I'll believe when I see it.

#8 I'll believe it when I see it, and I/we won't see it.
The instances of moral, ethical, and LEGAL outrage are plenty from Clapper to Comey and, especialy, to Hillary. And what about it? Nada. Zilch. Goose egg. That is your status quo. I actually read less and less of these types of articles now. It's all just noise, sadly to say.

#9 #8 Yes, it feels more like a soporific than an analysis.

Almost as if Conservatism, Inc. exists to put the normies to sleep while the Freakocracy goes from strength to strength.

But that's crazy talk!
