(21,115 posts)he would be in contempt of congress AND he would have been prosecuted BY the Republican led house to smear Obama. Plain and fucking simple as that....rocks and hard places sometimes have grey areas between them...
And if you think I am not telling the truth about Republicans wanting to use Clapper to smear Obama...here you go...(YOU agree with Darrel Issa btw....)

But somehow...they don't have enough evidence to prosecute this...therefore..YOU are wrong...they most certainly WOULD if they could.
"Update: Caitlin Hayden, a White House spokesperson, said in an e-mailed statement that Obama has "full faith in Director Clappers leadership of the intelligence community. The Director has provided an explanation for his answers to Senator Wyden and made clear that he did not intend to mislead the Congress."
