Clapper: Trump distorting my comments is Orwellian
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 05/24/18 10:05 PM EDT

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper hit back at President Trump for erroneously claiming that Clapper admitted that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.

Clapper told Axios that Trump’s most recent tweet making the allegation shows that Trump “deliberately spun” his comments.

The former intelligence director had said that the FBI had sought to determine what Russian figures were doing during the 2016 election, but did not spy on the Trump campaign.

“I mean this is George Orwell — up is down, black is white, peace is war. That's exactly what I didn't say,” Clapper told Axios.

I've forgotten my Randian villains so I'm not sure which fits Clapper.

This clown either does not understand Orwell, or chooses to distort Orwell’s meaning.

What's even more fascinating?  The sincere absence of even a hint of irony in his manner.

They actually DO believe they are the 'Good Guys' in all this.

We're living in Stranger Things...where everything is upside down.

While the wife went to work full time (to pay for child-care) and a 2nd car...bigger house, we gave our children to the public school system.

I wouldn't Orwell from Orville.  But I know bullshit when I hear it.  And Clapper is full of it.
