"Mistakes, Poor Service" and “least untruthful manner” - We have a Government that just excuses itself for ruining citizen's lives. Clapper’s Lie

Our corrupt, scandal ridden, lying and brain dead government, according to the various bureau (but not responsible for anything) heads, was merely a case of bad manners to the public. 

Remember James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence?

"Clap-off" Always a bit out of focus.

December (2010), British authorities arrested twelve jihadists who had been planning to set off bombs in a variety of locations; that same day, Clapper appeared on Diane Sawyer’s ABC show, on which Sawyer said to him that she expected he must be very busy with the London arrests. Clapper looked confused, and admitted that he had no idea what she was talking about. Arrests? A terror plot?
Had Sawyer been conducting a man-on-the-street interview, and Clapper was in reality the befuddled accountant he appears to be, he might be excused for having no idea that a large-scale anti-terror operation had just been carried out in London. But this was the Director of National Intelligence, and he was far less informed and up to speed on the situation than was Sawyer herself, or probably an entire legion of befuddled accountants.

 The man who acts like the head of the D. C. Dullards union. Clapper must have gone to the Vinnie-the-Chin Gigante school of how to act dull and learned to make acting dumb and art.  m/r

Clapper’s Lie | National Review Online

June 11, 2013 By Charles C. W. Cooke
It’s time to drop the polite euphemisms. 

By dint of a widespread preference for politeness, human beings tend to trip over themselves to find euphemisms for the word “lying.” The questionable among our public servants are charged with “misleading,” “hedging,” and “evading”; they are accused of disseminating “falsehoods,” and they are presumed guilty of “ambiguity” or of being “slippery” and “smooth.” For some reason, however, the L-word is off the table. This instinct is admirable, but its result is not always so. Sometimes, one needs to call a spade a spade.During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on March 12 of this year, Ron Wyden asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper a simple question: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?”
“No, sir,” Clapper shot back without a pause. “There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly.” Why so? Because “in the case of NSA and CIA, there are strictures against tracking American citizens in the United States for foreign intelligence purposes — and that’s what those agencies are set up to do.”This message, an explanation to Congress of what the executive branch was up to, was crystal clear: Don’t worry, the NSA is not allowed to track Americans — and it’s not going to. The primary problem with this, as the revelations of last week have demonstrated, is that it was not true.
