NextImg:Obama DNI James Clapper Reveals He's 'Lawyered Up' - and He's Not a Happy Camper

Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was asked about his reaction to allegations from the current Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, regarding the Russia Collusion hoax.

As we reported, Gabbard referred the matter to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation, and they've now formed a Strike Force on the matter.

Now, after all these years, we may get jaded about whether there will be accountability. But they have the right language in that announcement, in my opinion, to indicate there's finally some serious action on the table. There are challenges, given that it may be past the statute of limitations on some things, and being so long ago can make it harder to establish a case. But it sounds like they're going to take a serious look at everything to see who and what can be charged at this point.

Clapper was asked by CNN's Kaitlan Collins if he had concerns that the Trump administration would attempt to prosecute him.

Well, certainly I do. You know, after eight and a half years of this, and I don't know of an intelligence product that was more scrutinized, more investigated than that product was by numerous people...You know, it's very disconcerting. It really is. And I take seriously when the President of the United States accuses me of being a participant in a treasonous conspiracy, which is ridiculous.

Clapper claimed it was "untrue." 

Collins asked what he would do "if they came after you. What is your plan?" she asked. 

Clapper responded, "I'll lawyer up, I suppose. I already have." He said he'd actually been "lawyered up" since he left government in 2017. 

Looks to me like he's not a happy camper about what is evolving now. 

Many on X thought he sounded nervous.

He probably shouldn't be talking on CNN. Most lawyers would tell you that probably isn't a good thing to do, even if you think you didn't do anything wrong.

Accountability? DNI Gabbard Says Whistleblowers Are Now 'Coming Out of the Woodwork' on Russiagate

This is going to be interesting as it all unfolds. I think it's likely we will see others getting nervous and lawyering up if they haven't already. I'm curious as to who the "whistleblowers" are that DNI Gabbard has mentioned and what they may have to say. 

That's also a positive sign that could help strengthen a case.
