(Mar. 5, 2017) — Following Donald Trump’s allegations of his office at Trump Tower having been wiretapped by the Obama regime shortly before the November elections, the mainstream media is visibly pushing back with statements from former Obama officials, including former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper, to the contrary.
When answering questions of the Senate Intelligence Committee in March 2013 regarding surveillance of American citizens by the U.S. intelligence community, Clapper told Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) that the communications of U.S. citizens were “not wittingly” collected. His claim was belied three months later by the revelations of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who provided documents to The Guardian about the PRISM program and other means used to collect virtually all of the emails and telephone metadata on U.S. citizens not suspected of terrorist or criminal activity.
In November, U.S. News & World Report characterized Clapper’s testimony to the Senate committee as “admittedly false,” with some in Congress calling for Clapper’s prosecution.
According to Attorney Larry Klayman, who represents former NSA and CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery, Clapper authorized data-collection on many Americans “illegally.”
