The firestorm of criticism facing the National Security Agency from Capitol Hill has created "an erosion of trust" within the U.S. intelligence community, according to the community's top official.First, Clapper has a track record of lying under oath to Congress.
The repeated criticism and second-guessing by Congress over the agency's operations has hindered intelligence community leaders from doing their jobs, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told lawmakers on Tuesday.
Second, what he's saying is right, but not in the way that he means it. We can't trust Clapper and his ilk to tell the truth about anything. Everything in any statement from Clapper should be treated as a lie, including the punctuation.
But oh, poor little Jimmy the Perjurer's feelings are hurt because he's been caught lying and people no longer trust him??
Don't let the screen door hit you on your way out, Jimmy. You can probably get a cushy job with Rudy Giuliani's "Rent-a-Fascist" company.
What does "doing their jobs" mean in Clapper's secret dictionary? Doing whatever they want and getting away with it?
