Howie Carr: Former intelligen­ce director at a loss

Clapper, do yourself a favor and shut up

James Clapper is never the smartest man in the room, even when he’s all alone, by himself, in solitary confinemen­t, which he may very well soon be.

But Thursday night, after the corrupt, lying former director of national intelligen­ce got the word on live television that the feds have opened a criminal probe into the Russian collusion hoax, the co-conspirato­r suffered a meltdown for the ages.

All dialogue guaranteed verbatim:

“Well, I should … you know be very curious since presumably … I uh I guess uh I’m one of those under investigat­ion and … I uh don’t know — ”

The host cut in: “And you just heard about this?”

“Yes,” the below-average tongue-tied thug stuttered, beads of flop sweat forming on his pasty brow, “I just uh uh, you know, read the clip, um, about 20 minutes ago, um, I found the timing interestin­g given, uh the uh, increasing heat around the impeachmen­t inquiry and so, uh it it uh, the timing’s interestin­g, I’ll just let it go at that.”

To a battle of wits he comes unarmed. And as always Clapper has it exactly backwards. The probe into the greatest political scandal in American history — the Democrats’ attempt to overthrow the elected government of the United States — has been going on for years, almost as long as the Obama administra­tion’s slow-motion Third World-style coup d’etat against President Trump.

In fact, the Ukraine hoax was concocted to cover up the scandal Clapper finds himself embroiled in — not the other way around.

The whole Schiff-NadlerPelo­si-Schumer “impeachmen­t inquiry” is merely the latest iteration of the emoluments clause, or faithless electors, or the Logan Act, or the 25th amendment — the Deep State is desperatel­y trying to delay the moment of reckoning, when they are brought before the bar of justice.

Granted, Clapper is a very stupid person who worked for another very stupid person, Barack Obama, who believed there were 57 states, who thought Austrian was the national language of Austria, who explained how they spoke Arabic in Afghanista­n — the fish rots from the head, as a Democrat statesman from Massachuse­tts once said.

Still, even dim-bulb Obama’s director of national “intelligen­ce” should be able to lie in complete sentences. But no. The Democrat host asked his dear friend Clapper if he had any clue why he might soon being checking into the Graybar Hotel.

“No I don’t uh that’s, uh uh, obviously an item of great interest to me uh what, what is it that any of us did that that uh would rise to the level of uh a criminal infraction … I just don’t know.”

Let us refresh your recollecti­on then. Even before the announceme­nt of the criminal inquiry, Clapper already had to be reaching for the Depends after the latest court filings in the case of Gen. Michael Flynn, framed by dirty Democrat cops in the FBI and the DOJ.

Flynn’s new lawyer now claims, in court documents, that the FBI falsified interview reports — 302’s — and basically framed the threestar combat veteran, using Hillary Clinton’s fraudulent “dossier,” which the feds knew was utterly bogus, as a reason to set him up — because he worked for Donald Trump.

“We can use it as a pretext to go interview some people,” crooked FBI agent Peter Strzok texted to his married girlfriend.

But wait, it gets worse. After another gangster G-man feloniousl­y leaked a transcript of a White House phone conversati­on to one more Democrat operative at the Washington Post, Flynn’s lawyer said in her court pleading last week that Clapper then called up the crooked scribe and urged him to “take a kill shot” against the decorated general.

Take a kill shot! “The other thing I, I wonder about,” Clapper babbled incoherent­ly on TV, “is whether we’re talking about the overall uh investigat­ion of the Russian uh reporting — reporting on the Russian interferen­ce, or are we talking about the counterint­elligence investigat­ion that was launched in July by the FBI about the potential uh engagement uh collusion whatever you what to call it — “

I call it conspiracy, Clapper. What a clown. He and the rest of the pampered pukes at the FBI and CIA and DOJ have given themselves the kill shot they wanted to give all of us deplorable­s.

One last thing, Mr. Clapper: You have the right to remain silent …
