Former Director of Intelligence James Clapper said Thursday night on CNN that it was “a good thing” there was an FBI informant spying on the Trump campaign.

Clapper admitted the FBI “may have had someone who was talking to them in the campaign,” referring to President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. He explained away the possibility of an FBI informant spying on the campaign as the bureau was trying to find out “what the Russians were doing to try to substantiate themselves in the campaign or influence or leverage it.”

Obama’s Director of National Intelligence then went on to say, “So, if there was someone that was observing that sort of thing, that’s a good thing.”

He also stated he believes “it’s hugely dangerous if someone like that is exposed because the danger to that person” and the potential “reluctance of others to be informants for the FBI” could possibly devastate the FBI.

At this point Clapper needs to be disappeared.

Yesterday I said Brennan was the biggest piece of shite. Clapper is #2. Size that bastard up with a noose, as well.

So, if the FBI under W had slipped some people into Obama’s camp and had, say, uncovered evidence of illegal campaign donations made by people such as Doodad Pro, that would be a good thing too, James?

Maybe the Trump campaign could have tried the novel approach of NOT collaborating with the Russian government.

Is Clapper suggesting that Trump should infiltrate the DNC and his opponent in 2020 just to make sure they are not colluding with Russia or China?

I knew this would be the position they would ultimately retreat to.

Remember a year ago when they laughed their arse off at the idea that spying was done on the campaign? Now they are saying "Well we had to to save this country from Hitler". And the Left will march right along.

It's like watching a 5 year old's lie get exposed.

Deny... deny... deny... fine, but it's actually a good thing...

Clapper out doing get out before it news. He is revolting and truly deplorable. CNN probably orgasmed over this load of crap As Clapper and Brennan are soon to be hauled to a grand jury. The audacity to go on TV and pull a Comey makes me sick to my stomach.

What happened to they weren't wire tapping Trump? What happened to Trump is a paranoid conspiracy nut?

Since you think this is a good thing, maybe the Trump admin should put spies into the Dem 2020 team since there actually IS evidence that they colluded with Russians and rigged the primaries.

I'm sure all of the democrats on this board would support such a move.
