Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Sunday described a U.S. government "under assault" after President Donald Trump's controversial decision to fire FBI director James Comey, as lawmakers urged the president to select a new FBI director free of any political stigma.
"I think, in many ways, our institutions are under assault, both externally -- and that's the big news here, is the Russian interference in our election system," Clapper said. "I think as well our institutions are under assault internally."
When he was asked, "Internally, from the president?" Clapper said, "Exactly."
Clapper spoke following Trump's sudden firing of Comey last week, which drew sharp criticism because it came amid the FBI's probe into Russia meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible ties between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
Clapper said America's founding fathers had created three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances, but with Trump as president, that was now "under assault and is eroding."
Lawmakers from both parties also criticized Trump's actions last week, which included changing explanations from the White House for the firing and an ominous tweet by Trump that warned Comey against leaks to the press because he may have "tapes" of their conversations. The lawmakers urged the president to select a new FBI director without any political background.

Comey has never really had a job that is relevant to being Director of the FBI. He is at best a half ass lawyer. He damn sure has no background in criminal justice or real investigative work. Another politician PUNK.
I’m of the school of thought that Clapper and Yates gave up Comey to Graham last Monday in return for no more testimony. Now both are free to keep up the ‘resistance’ schtik to keep the deep state pressure off them.
“Clapper is absolute SCUM.”
and FOX is giving him and other anti-Trumpers a platform to spew their crap to the people. FOX is gone.... I seldom watch it any more. Who they gonna fire next? Even the regulars who were once conservative in their delivery and questioning are now slanting against Trump and his administration.
Clapper and his ilk are desperately spewing this crap because they know exactly what’s in the files “President Hillary” was going to keep buried for them.
Did he say “under assault” as if that is a bad thing?

Comey and Clapper are jokes. Clapper had one tour in SE Asia. He never left Thailand. He damn sure knows about Rice, Obama, plus others spying on republicans.

I certainly hope so. DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Clapper is telling the truth.
What he is describing is in plain language..... draining the swap.
The older changeth yielding place to the new
There is intense pain amongst the old order
Maas sent an email. It discussed how Sessions had arrested 80+ for child pedifilia recently. That Comey had to go because he was blocking further action. DC swamp to be next target —— SOOOO. Is Clapper on the list of democrats to be exposed from the “insurance file” on the HUMA’s Weiner computer?
This guy was always a scumbag.
Hasn’t changed a bit.
Brennan is maybe worse than Clapper.
Clapper is a rotten lying SOB and I hope he ends up in prison!
