Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has accused Russia of interfering in US affairs including the Coronavirus pandemic, the Portland and Kenosha protests, and election meddling.
Clapper was more than happy to push more xenophobic Russia conspiracy theories during a Monday CNN interview with Alisyn Camerota, but did not provide any evidence.
RT reports: After bringing up violent protests in cities like Portland, Oregon, and Kenosha, Wisconsin – both of which have seen shooting deaths occur during demonstrations and riots – Camerota asked Clapper if he sees “evidence as we saw in 2016 that some of this unrest, some of this online ginning up of discord, you see Russian fingerprints?”

“Absolutely,” Clapper replied without hesitation, before also blaming Russians for spreading “disinformation” in regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, including how it “disproportionately” affects minorities.
Though conspiracy theories about the Russian government interfering in the 2016 presidential election have been backed up by no real evidence, but rather only second and third-hand information, Clapper used 2016 as his only evidence of this new conspiracy theory.
“There’s no question the Russians are exploiting this. Why shouldn’t they? They had huge success in 2016. Why not do it again in 2020?” he said.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-California) was similarly asked on Monday during a CNN interview whether Russia was at all to blame for making race relations worse in the US, to which Schiff also replied yes and claimed they “are once again doing their best in social media, in the overt media and other means to grow this division again.”
Besides consistent history of xenophobic remarks toward Russians, James Clapper has also been accused of lying under oath. Some politicians, including Sen. Rand Paul, have said the former director of national intelligence should be prosecuted for denying his knowledge of the existence of the NSA’s warrantless spying program.

Clapper can’t stop lying, he’s a retarded lie machine.
This worthless, lying jack-off was Obama’s Director of National Intelligence..
He committed perjury the last time he was in front of congress.
He belongs in jail awaiting execution, eating only bread and water mixed with salt peter, not running his forked tongue mouth on TV.
You do .
I definitely do burn trash, yes I do.
Goodbye Democrat-Neocon trash!
Clapper and you burn real good – it’s your excess lard that makes the trash burn so toasty.
We smell disqus staff trolling using their fake logins and multiple identities
You smell yourself – just another feeble minded gas bag.
A rat bastard can’t smell its own hole,
Clapper should be in Jail for Lieing to Congress and the American people.
Hes told tbe truth about this matter Course even democrats tell the truth sometimes Even Obamas faithful flick of lets pretend reality is what we identify it as Thats SCIENTIFIC ,isnt it .
If you had any evidence for your baseless claim, you’d post it, or else you’ll be seen as the idiotic stooge you really are.
You can’t even write using decent English, let alone make a coherent argument, retard.
I suspect you are some kind of demented furry foreigner that sugs off groundhogs for your nourishment.
Rt spew anti american propaganda daily as this site repeats it and when you point that out disqus deletes it

You have to have shit for brains to believe this. The democraps are behind the racist nigger riots and the virus scam. They should all be executed without a trial.
I loved that interview you have the pic from. He was twiddling with his eyebrow the whole time nervous about his lying. It reminded me of the doctor on the original Miracle On 34th St.!!

Question for Bill Barr, why is this piece of shit still roaming free?
Why isn’t this seditious traitor in jail for perjury, obstruction of justice and an attempted (ongoing) ongoing coup against America?
BS. Russia doesn’t have jack to do with it…
Also, what an ugly reptile he is. Ugh!
