James Clapper is in no hurry to come to D.C. and face the #ObamaGate music.
He’s made it perfectly clear that he will not travel to testify in person regarding. the massive scandal until there’s a COVID-19 vaccine.
He made the comments during an interview with CNN.
After he made the remarks he was silent for a second or two and then he quickly added: “but I can testify remotely…”
During the same interview, he also said how “routine” it is to unmask Americans and then said he couldn’t “recall” what “prompted him” to unmask General Flynn.
Convenient.
What a Deep State stooge this clown is.

I don’t know how much it matters to have Clapper testify – after all, we all know he has zero issues lying under oath.
Former intelligence chief James Clapper is poised to avoid charges for allegedly lying to Congress after five years of apparent inaction by the Justice Department.
Clapper, director of national intelligence from 2010 to 2017, admitted giving “clearly erroneous” testimony about mass surveillance in March 2013, and offered differing explanations for why.
Two criminal statutes that cover lying to Congress have five-year statutes of limitations, establishing a Monday deadline to charge Clapper, who in retirement has emerged as a leading critic of President Trump.
The under-oath untruth was exposed by National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, who sparked national debate on surveillance policy with leaks to the press.
Many members of Congress, mostly Republicans supportive of new limits on electronic surveillance, called for Clapper to be prosecuted as the deadline neared, saying unpunished perjury jeopardizes the ability of Congress to perform oversight.
“He admitted to lying to Congress and was unremorseful and flippant about it,” Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told the Washington Examiner. “The integrity of our federal government is at stake because his behavior sets the standard for the entire intelligence community.”
See, it’s okay when Clapper does it, but if you’re Roger Stone, you’ll get a 600 am wakeup call from the FBI and CNN.
