I know it's a tangent, but I have trouble assigning any significance to this after the James Clapper thing. If he can lie to Congress with impunity, about things that are clearly within Congressional purview, then why should anyone else worry about such things?
- arbitrage 8y agoJames Clapper doesn't lie on the record. He constructs his statements so carefully that he isn't technically lying, but actually saying something completely different than what you think he is. The issue here is that Congress is too weak to call him out on it. Clapper started playing this game years ago, and now others are emulating him, to great effect.
