“Seems pretty straightforward, right? Clapper makes crystal clear that the FBI was not spying on the Trump campaign.”
Yep! Clear as crystal; if you’re so gullible as to believe Clapper, “The Lying Machine”.

If Trump was not notified in advance then they were spying on him and his campaign, NOT “trying to figure out what the Russians were doing.”

And if it’s such a privilege, Hillary Clinton would have clamored to have one assigned to her campaign as well, for her own good.

He should be happy that the FBI is trying to find any evidence it can to impeach him. That’s proof right there that something foul is afoot.

This fake news defies logic, until you realize some day, that the Deep State owns/controls the DNC, the DOJ/FBI/CIA, our media and its fake news/lying mediots.

Clapper did admit that they had a spy in the campaign, we can all agree on that. If the media wants to believe it was for Trump's protection fine, but they must admit that Trump is right when he says they had a spy in his campaign. But they can't without defending clapper - thy simply cannot report the news without interjecting their biased commentary, amazing

Using clapper logic, you could justify any crime, just flip the motive.

BEHAR: "So I ask you, was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?" CLAPPER: "No,

Wrong question(and she knows it). Question should be, did you have a spy in the Trump campaign - YES. Once that is established, and it was, they can argue over why.

The deep state should all be in prison, for their own protection.

James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, went on "The View" -- weird, right?

No. Democrats have been going on entertainment shows to make news since David Letterman's days.

Hmm.. how do you find out what the Russians MIGHT be doing by having CIA/FBI assets tell Trump campaign personnel stuff, then have other CIA/FBI assets inform that the Trump people had information from your first group?

Clapper is hiding behind semantics — they weren’t “spying”; it was a sting and leak operation. They only had to run stings against Trump because they knew Hillary was honest. And unmasking hundreds of Americans and reading their communications was just research. Uh huh.

This clown needs to go on more shows and talk, talk, talk.
Spending his golden years broke and in prison is going to hurt.

They sure have. Who can forget Letterman’s lies and attacks on Palin and her family, among others?

Who believes Clapper’s crap? He is an inveterate liar.

I've got one even better than that!!

James Clapper saying that they did not "spy" on the Trump Campaign while having a paid informant IN the Trump Campaign, is like Bill Clinton saying, "I didn't have sexual relations with that woman."

They weren’t spying - they were “framing” trying to Frame Trump so they could take him down.

Too bad Nixon didn’t have the same clever operatives with “spin” ability - the water-gate burglars could claim they were not really breaking in and bugging, they were just trying to protect the DNC from a criminal DNC chairman or some other clever balderdash.

No, the key is the headline and the first few sentences because not everyone has time to drill down. The endless stream of negative, lying headlines sabotages our purpose.

Lies aren’t defeated by repeating the lie. Lies are defeated by repeating the truth. We should have our eyes on the prize - in this case, politically, what it takes to recover our Free Constitutional Republic. That should be what we major on and focus on.
