Strange conversation.

Don't forget the disclaimer, though.

SCIUTTO: “I just want to be clear though here, you’re saying Russia is treating the President of the United States as an asset?”

CLAPPER: “I’m saying this figuratively.”

I guess that's so they can say it and deny they said it: plausible deniability.
