Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) turned CNN commentator James Clapper not only leaked information related to the infamous “Steele dossier” to CNN’s Jake Tapper while Clapper was in officeĀ – it appearsĀ he also lied about it to Congress, under oath.

Clapper was one of the “two national security officials” cited in CNN’s report -publishedĀ minutes after Buzzfeed released the full Steele dossier.

The revelation that Clapper was responsible for leaking details of both the dossier and briefings to two presidents on the matter is significant, because former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director James Comey wrote in one of four memos that he leaked that the briefing of Trump on salacious and unverified allegations from the dossier was necessary because ā€œCNN had them and were looking for a news hook.ā€The Federalist

So Comey said that Trump needed to be briefed on the Dossier’s allegations since CNN “had them” – because James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence at the time, provided that information to the same network he now works for.

And who’s idea was it to brief Trump on the dossier?Ā JAMES CLAPPERĀ – according to former FBI Director James Comey’s memos:

ā€œI said there was something that Clapper wanted me to speak to the [president-elect] about alone or in a very small group,ā€ Comey wrote.

The revelations detailing Clapper’s leak to CNN can be found in a 253-page report by the House Intelligence Committee majority released on Friday – which alsoĀ found “no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government.”

As Sean Davis ofĀ The FederalistĀ bluntly states: “Clapper leaked details of a dossier briefing given to then-President-elect Donald Trump to CNN’s Jake Tapper, lied to Congress about the leak, and was rewarded with a CNN contract a few months later.”

From Clapper’s Congressional testimony:

MR. ROONEY: Did you discuss the dossier or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists?

MR. CLAPPER: No.

Clapper later changed his tune after he was confronted about his communications with Tapper:

ā€œClapper subsequently acknowledged discussing the ā€˜dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,’ and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic,ā€ the report reads. ā€œClapper’s discussion with Tapper took place in early January 2017, around the time IC leaders briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump, on ā€˜the Christopher Steele information,’ a two-page summary of which was ā€˜enclosed in’ the highly-classified version of the ICA,ā€ or intelligence community assessment.

As Jack Posobiec adds, “To be clear: CNN’s Jake Tapper participated in a leak of highly classified information from James Clapper and knowingly participated in a cover-up of it that has gone on for months, during which time CNN hired Clapper as a paid contributor.”

Court Blocks Biden’s COVID Vaccine Mandate for US Federal Workers

March 26, 2023 NY Post 1

A prior injunction blocked the mandate in January 2022, only a few months after Biden issued the order, but nearly 98% of covered employees had already been vaccinated. Opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment on federal workers’ lives that neither the Constitution nor federal statutes authorize.
