James "Clap Trap" Clapper
Well it seems that national security honcho James Clapper, decided to tell a congressional committee under oath "the least untruthful answer." I wonder if he did that "wittingly." What is truly bizzare about this is that Sen. Wyden of Oregon who posed the question, let Clapper know a day before his testimony that the question was going to be asked. One would think that Clapper could have come up with a better answer, or could have advised Wyden that he was going to hide behind "That's a matter of national security that I'm not at liberty to talk about." In an open hearing, that would have been understandable. But no, Mr. Clapper decided to lie. For this he should be fired so that he can live on his big fat government pension that he so richly deserves.
