President Trump continues to tweet about what he’s calling “Spygate”:
“Everyone knows there was a Spy, and in fact the people who were involved in the Spying are admitting that there was a Spy…Widespread Spying involving multiple people.” Mollie Hemingway, The Federalist Senior Editor But the corrupt Mainstream Media hates this monster story!

CNN’s Chris Cillizza immediately got to work helping sort the apples from the bananas. Don’t be drinking anything when you read who he quoted to try and prove Trump’s claims wrong:
Q: "So I ask you, was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?"
James Clapper: "No, they were not."https://t.co/9qb9GKwk2f https://t.co/tVBWHoHHqJ

Just to make sure we're all on the same page:
This is the same James Clapper who lied to Congress, right? https://t.co/8yqcFOCxF4

The one and only!
Oh, a man that willingly lied to a Congressional hearing is who you're using here? Okay… https://t.co/lfxJ6I40K0

If @CNN had been the judge for a Bernie Madoff trial:
Defense attorney: "Mr. Madoff, did you defraud your clients of billions?"
Madoff: "No, I did not"
Judge: "Well, that settles that. Case dismissed. Mr. Madoff, you are free to go." https://t.co/9ie1X5NDJK

Clapper is not known to be truthful. So there's that. https://t.co/lf1NWBDruA
