James Clapper: I Didn't Lie About the Laptop Being RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION. I "Merely" Said It Might Be RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION. It Was the Media (Who Now Employs Me) Which Deliberately Lied About My Words and Took the Nuance Out of Them.

The media, such as CNN, your employer?

This is absurd. As Glenn Greenwald points out below, The Fifty-One IC Coupists now have to say something about why they lied.

Their new claim? We didn't lie, we expressed very nuanced, caveated misgivings, which the media removed from our words to promote a sensationalistic and conclusory "THE LAPTOP IS A RUSSIAN FORGERY" claim.

But that's bullshit. Clapper knew what the media was saying about the laptop; he was a paid commentator on CNN.

He had ample opportunity to correct any misimpressions by saying, "Actually, we're forming no conclusions about whether it is or isn't RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION. You're misquoting us."

But they didn't do that because they always intended their cowardly, CYA "has all the hallmarks of RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION" formulation to be misreported by the media and misunderstood by the public.

This was always the intention -- and that's why there was no correction about the media's claimed "misreporting" until now.

I'll go a step further: When Clapper was asked by his CNN colleagues behind-the-scenes about the "has all the hallmarks" language, "Does this mean it is RUSSIAN DISINOFORMATION or merely that it might be?," I guarantee you he said something like, "We're 99.99% sure it's disinformation, we just have to caveat it because Intelligence Analysts are very careful and exacting about their assessments, and don't want to claim absolute certainty. We also wouldn't want to expose sources and methods to detail why we know this."

Which the media took to mean, "Okay, it is RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION, we know from the authors, on background, that's what they really mean. Strip the 'hallmarks of' language away, and just report it's RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION."

Do not forget that when CNN and other leftwing organizations refused to publish hte bald, concocted lies of the Steele Dossier, despite Clapper and Comey telling them to report it, because there was no "news hook" for it (Comey, bafflingly, said that's the reason CNN gave him for not reporting it; why was Comey debating the Steele Dossier's reportability with CNN at all?), these men conspired to attach it via a paperclip to the President's Daily Briefing, to move it physically close to actual verified intelligence, thus giving Jake Tapper and Carl Bernstein and Evan Perez and Jim Sciutto the "news hook" to report it that they had asked Comey to give them.

This was all worked out with these "CNN Reporters" -- they all participated in an IC op to contrive a way for an otherwise-unreportable, unverified bit of bullshit from the Clinton campaign to become associated with a high-level intelligence briefing, which it was certainly not, just so CNN's Democrat Operatives could "report" the fact that it had been paperclipped to the intelligence part of the briefing.

Comey did this.

And Clapper did this.

And of course Tapper, Bernstein, Perez, and Sciutto were coconspirators. It's possible one of these "journalists" actually suggested contriving a reason to brief the president about it, just so it could then be leaked that the president had been briefed about it.

So I don't want to here from James Clapper, a known perjurer, that was an innocent naif regarding planting a lie in the media.

It's amazing what's going on here.

Because of the House hearing investigating this, the political and media establishment can't ignore what they did any longer.

So now they're turning on each other, blaming one another for the disinformation campaign:https://t.co/ha4Ls5Wp9t

After James Clapper, as Obama's DNI, got caught red-handed lying to the Senate about NSA domestic spying, CNN hired him.

Very good point: if James Clapper knew Politico and Natasha Bertrand were lying about what their letter said, why didn't he say so then?

they tried to claim it had some Russian "earmark", but if Russia did it, they would not have left any earmarks, it was something that would be done to make it LOOK like it was Russia.

Gnosticism, as James Lindsay has been describing, is the idea that there's some secret, vital knowledge that will save the world. Heathens (conservatives here) are to be despised and shunned unless they become Initiates. The Initiates are to be instructed by the Adepts who are the inner circle.

182 "Does this mean it is RUSSIAN DISINOFORMATION or merely that it might be?," I guarantee you he said something like, "We're 99.99% sure it's disinformation, we just have to caveat it because Intelligence Analysts are very careful and exacting about their assessments, and don't want to claim absolute certainty."

The Deep State troops know all the tricks to avoid being caught in a no-way-to-deny-it lie.

196 No, ace the 51 idiots don't have to say anything. Nor do the "reporters", nor anyone else.

Why do they have to say anything? To a country, a populace, a Beltway so self-destructively stupid that it would replace Trump with one of the dumbest, most famously and blatantly corrupt non-entities of the last few decades?

Their childish, idiotic lies and distortions are quite adequate and meet the needs of NPR listeners and tens of millions of others. FFS many of their ridiculous slanderous myths about the Trump years are even swallowed whole and incorporated by commenters here. Just as their distortions about many key recent chapters in US history are.

I kinda like Pompeo on some things, but that former head of (terrorist) CIA is an issue. imo Obama was not in charge of anything big like that, it was a CIA/FBI op pure and simple (not sure if the oligarchs have influence over CIA, kinda think not, probably other way around?).

So sounds more like Pompeo giving cover to "bad Deep State operatives" ... "just following orders".

It was always sophisticated, carefully-hedged wording by State actors, then amplified and disseminated in the crudest possible manner by Party activists.

That was all obvious from the jump. Hence, Christopher Steele mumbles a few asides about Trump, and Bill Kristol and John McCain feed it to the press, and we have Trump hanging out in a Russian hotel room getting hookers to piss on him to somehow disgrace Obama, who also slept in that bed, or something.

We also wouldn't want to expose sources and methods to detail why we know this."
