“Of course the Russian efforts affected the outcome. Surprising even themselves, they swung the election to a Trump win. To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense, and credulity to the breaking point. Less than eighty thousand votes in three key states swung the election. I have no doubt that more votes than that were influenced by this massive effort by the Russians.”
He told Rachel Maddow in an interview tonight that while it wasn’t exactly collusion, Trump did everything Putin wanted by encouraging Russian hacking.

There is a lot more in the review that makes me anxious to get this. I was all for buying Jon Meacham’s book, but this may be my next full-priced Kindle purchase. (I’m a sucker for Kindle bargains and there are always many.)

“Appearing on ABC’s “The View,” Clapper denied that he had misled Congress when he testified on the spying activities of the National Security Agency in 2013, saying he had simply “made a mistake” when responding to a question.”
Clapper lied to Congress in 2013 about collecting data on millions of Americans. When asked about it then, he said he forgot. So now its just a mistake.
Clapper told Congress that he had not talked to any of the media about the dossier, Later he admitted that he had talked to multiple members of the media about the dossier. Another “mistake”? Oh, and he now works for CNN…one of the media with whom he talked.
Comey said that Clapper insisted that the dossier be presented to Trump. CNN was immediately informed by a leak once the dossier was presented and this was their “hook” to make the dossier a legitimate news item, in their eyes. And again, Clapper now works…
And libs are using Clapper of all people as a reference for anything.
