[3]<\/p>\n<p>Clapper didn&#8217;t, in fact, denounce the report itself (nor did he characterize it as &#8220;false,&#8221; &#8220;fictitious,&#8221; &#8220;illegally circulated,&#8221; or any of the rest). He says basically told Trump:<\/p>\n<p>1. It&#8217;s not a US intelligence report.<br \/>\n2. US intelligence has not yet verified anything about it.<br \/>\n3. US intelligence did not leak it, and he doesn&#8217;t like leaks.<br \/>\n4. It got included by reference in the briefing to Obama and you because US intelligence has an obligation to provide &#8220;the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which the shenanigans in the dossier certainly qualify as. And all of which are perfectly reasonable things for him to say. And none of which are how <i>you<\/i> characterized the discussion. &#8220;Too bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba <b><i>.@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!<\/i><\/b> [4]<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to four years of you yelling at media outlets who don&#8217;t toe the Trump line.
