Trump falsely claimed that intelligence director James Clapper told him the the Russia report was ‘fictitious.”

Donald Trump announced on Twitter Thursday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told him that the much-discussed Russia memo was definitely phony.

But Clapper released his own version of events before Trump’s tweet. Clapper never said in his statement that they believe the unverified report — composed by a former British intelligence agent — was false. Instead, he only said that they had not yet passed judgement on the memo.

“This evening, I had the opportunity to speak with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss recent media reports about our briefing last Friday. I expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing in the press, and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security,” Clapper wrote.

“The [intelligence community] has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions.

    Trump is scared…he is this close to panic…If there is a case against him, we had better prosecute it quickly…He knows what happened, and he colluded with our enemy…the evidence is building against him…

      well – he hasn’t brought out the ‘I’ll sue!” bit yet, so there’s most likely a video with several
      thousand copies ‘floating’ about.

    If you could hook this clown to a polygraph, you could power NYC. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/655123f2c154f031c7f6791a7cf29009cbe75bccb216a8f0f7e4e8bf1e672a60.jpg

    then why not stand up to the press like a real man (DPRK’s COURAGEOUS Marshal Kim Jong-Un does so on His very own)?

    stop all this ‘wishy washy’ whimpering and lay down the new law of the new government of trump!

    no laughing at the great orange COWARD for taking golden showers!

    Dear Donald Trump: Go ahead and destroy the country but at least have the decency to shut the Hell up so we don’t have to suffer through any more of your b*llsh*t.

    This con man tweets lie after lie so quickly the press can’t keep track of them all. That’s why he gets so much free media coverage.

      They can’t fully cover the last lie because they are already trying to figure out the next lie.

        Gish Gallop.

          I didn’t know it had a name, can’t believe this is where we are.

    Trump knows that most U.S. citizens pay attention to social media. Most don’t use critical thinking skills to actually read the news and digest the information. He plays to the idiot crowd.

    This scumbas pi$$es me off so bad, when I tweet to him I have to make sure I am being civil so I can’t be charged with threatening an “official”. My mouth gets ahead of me sometimes and I have had to erase the entire statement lol.

      It happens to all of us. ;-) The frustration just gets to be too much.

        Nice to know I am not the only one lol.

    What Clapper thinks no longer matters, internationally Trump will be considered compromised and America intel and Trump will be treated so

    There needs to be serious backlash against 4chan…total disregard and disparagement.
    This will be a good start.

    Public Health Warning!

    Do NOT play drinking games where you take a shot each time Precedent Trump lies. Numerous cases of alcohol poisoning have resulted even prior to his inauguration.
