5th Anniversary of Clapper's Least Untruthful Answer & Possible Running of Statute of Limitations
Russia Today reports former Director of National Intelligence "knowingly lied to the US Select Committee on Intelligence" when Clapper responded to Sen. Wyden that the NSA did "not wittingly" engage in mass surveillance of Americans. When later confronted about the testimony, Clapper summed up his conduct as responding in the "least untruthful manner."
It has been 5 years, since Clappers testimony, and since it Edward Snowden revealed to everyone how the surveillance state seems to have magically amended the fourth amendment to permit them to spy on us like cattle through our TVs, phones, webcams and possibly much much more.
Various lawmakers called for Clapper to face prosecution, but that has not happened and may be too late now due to the statute of limitations. Clapper may no longer be able to be charged with perjury--though the RT article does not mention if the SOL might be tolled until reasonable notice of the perjury may have occurred. But the total nature of US law is unclear and mostly out of the hands of the people as demonstrated by the possibly extra judicial shredding of the fourth amendment. The RT article reports one legislator's view:
"He admitted to lying to Congress and was unremorseful and flippant about it,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told the Washington Examiner. “The integrity of our federal government is at stake because his behavior sets the standard for the entire intelligence community.” Massie was referring to Clapper, not the baseball player. Just to be clear.
Past testimonies to Congress didn't get the Clapper treatment such as J Steven Griles in regards to crimes of Jack Abramoff and Miguel Tejada in regards to professional baseball. Other theories of why Clapper didn't give the most accurate testimony other than the least truthful manner, as Clapper babbled to Sen. Feinstein--who herself was spied on by the intelligence apparatus regarding investigations into torture-- asserting he just didn't think about the metadata collection program.

yea, have they even asked the people invovled what the words meant? Like basic investigation just never seems to happen it seems--especially when things are claimed to be debunked.
Typically their reporting is based on unnamed sources.
yea, typical of a world without accountability where multi year conflicts get launched on the whim of never materializing WMDs
Nah, it goes back decades before that was a thing, they have been doing the unnamed sources thing since Operation Mockingbird began.
Perhaps there are other charges that may be in the works, like sedition or treason, if any of the talk from the Q people has any believability? If something is brewing in the white house, as they say it is, then they may have let him skate for the bigger showdown. Could be, but I won't be holding my breath.
Yea not sure, seems Q could also just be a light pro trump narrative in a nostradamus medium--or at least started thay way, will have to see if it goes anywhere and what it is thought to have affected and that might give better indicators of who might be behind the veil--I imagine the NSA knows all this in the pretense of anonymity from someone possibly going off on Snowden--who even if he might be less holier than thou--seems pretty commonly agreed upon fact Snowden revealed constitutionally questionable mass surveillance.
I may have misinterpreted what was said, but I believe I heard it said by some of the Q people that Snowden was c i a when he went to work at n s a, to spy on them, which had something to do with their super computer, which c i a didn't want them to have. There seems to be so many layers in this whole thing, that it's unlikely anyone could really get to the core.
yea and even if that is true, letting the Merican sheeple know about constitutionally questionable mass surveillance is still heroic--no matter what ultimately the motivations were.
They are saying now that Snowden has come to his senses and has given the social media algorithms, that he supposedly wrote, to them. FB, twitter, YT, etc. still use his algorithms to run their banning campaigns. So I guess that would mean Snowden is now in the hands of the "good guys".
