If someone handed me a dollar today for every time I heard the straw man argument that President Trump “presented no evidence” to back up his Twitter accusations that the Obama administration wiretapped him during the election, I’d have just as many dollars as I’d have if I collected one for every time I heard James Clapper lie about the National Security Agency spying on the American people during his tenure as the director of national intelligence. Either way I’d be rich.
Then something funny happened to Clapper in the mainstream media. As soon as Wikileaks proved that the NSA actually did spy on American citizens, all of my imaginary dollars went away. I couldn’t find footage of Clapper lying to the American people anywhere in the mainstream! Flash forward to the present where MSNBC’s Chuck Todd had Clapper come on his “news” show to say there was no Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act order to investigate the Trump campaign, so it might as well be case closed, right?
