Former intelligence chief Clapper: Trump Jr. meeting was 'classic, textbook Soviet and now Russian statecraft'
By Josh Delk - 07/20/17 09:54 AM EDT

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Thursday that the Russians who met with Donald Trump Jr. in June 2016 to discuss information they said came from the Russian government employed "classic, textbook Soviet and now Russian tradecraft."

Clapper, who served as the Direct of National Intelligence in the Obama administration, said in an interview on MSNBC's "Hardball" the Russians had a "soft approach" in meeting with Trump's eldest son.

"They had two objectives here," he told Matthews. "One was to determine whether those close to then-candidate Trump would be interested in talking with them and receiving dirt on Hillary Clinton"

"And point two was plausible deniability," Clapper added.

Someone should inform Clapper lop ears on a person are classic, textbook signs of mental deficiencies.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
