Clapper having any say into the matter is unacceptable; Have they not heard of independent third parties? Here's a conspiracy theory: Clapper will sit in the panel, come up with perfectly valid reasons to veto anyone his thugs do not have dirt on, and will proceed to blackmail his agency's way into being completely unchecked. Corruption is not rooted out by the corrupt; It is rooted out by having third parties check everything until well after the corruption is gone, to give the latent seeds no chance to take root.
