I have read this and several other articles on this story. What the OP did not tell you is that several of the other articles MOCKS CLAPPER for his partisan bullshit.
Clapper partisanly claims the President is an 'asset' being worked by President Vladimir Putin, an ex-KGB operative / director who was trained to 'read people', how to 'manipulate people'.
One of the main examples of this happening Clapper and the propaganda-pushing fake news media cites is how Putin somehow 'manipulated' Trump into 'ordering' (?) the CIA to share information with Russia that prevented a terrorist attack in Russia.
ARE YOU $H!TT!NG ME? Ok, let's point some things out here that destroys this BS story:
1. Russia is currently a U.S. ALLY in the battle against terrorists / ISIS. (Remember how France and Russia retaliated against ISIS' attack on Paris...after Barry declared he had ISIS isolated in the Middle east?) We are SUPPOSED to be working together against terrorists. Such cooperation is actually a good thing.
2. I guess seditious hut-hurt, hate-driven snowflakes have forgotten how Putin / Russia reached out to Barry and warned him about Tsaranev, about how he had visited and trained at a terrorist training camp, and how he was going to conduct an attack on Americans at home. The only difference between Trump giving information to Putin and Putin giving information to Obama is that Putin used the information to actually THWART the attack against Russia. Barry failed to prevent the Tsarnaev's from conducting the Boston Marathon bombing that killed and maimed Americans. (After that attack was over the Obama administration showed the Tsarnaev brother's picture on TV and asked fro citizens to help ID them ... EVEN THOUGH THEY ALREADY KNEW WHO THEY WERE. OBAMA AND THE FBI WERE TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT THEY ALREADY KNEW, THEY HAD ALREADY BEEN WARNED, AND FAILED TO PREVENT THE ATTACK!)
So The Trump administration's CIA providing Russia with information that resulted in them being able to stop a terrorist attack against them is no f*ing sign of Trump 'being worked as an asset' by Putin! This is just more fake BS from the seditious butt-hurt left!
Clapper is f*ing Liberal criminal dirtbag who deserves to be in prison right now! He was caught committing Felony PERJURY when he testified he knew nothing about / no illegally spying on citizens by Obama was going on! When evidence came out showing Obama did illegally spy on Americans and Clapper knew about it, Obama criminal DOJ gave Clapper the opportunity to re-appear before Congress and alter his testimony rather than charge him with Perjury. He's a damn criminal and a liar who belongs in jail.
