DNI Clapper Statement on Conversation with President-elect Trump
This evening, I had the opportunity to speak with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss recent media reports about our briefing last Friday. I expressed my profound dismay at the leaks that have been appearing in the press, and we both agreed that they are extremely corrosive and damaging to our national security.
We also discussed the private security company document, which was widely circulated in recent months among the media, members of Congress and Congressional staff even before the IC became aware of it. I emphasized that this document is not a U.S. Intelligence Community product and that I do not believe the leaks came from within the IC. The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions. However, part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security.
President-elect Trump again affirmed his appreciation for all the men and women serving in the Intelligence Community, and I assured him that the IC stands ready to serve his Administration and the American people.
James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence

Spy chief trashes leaks, assures Trump of loyalty
James Clapper says the intelligence community ‘stands ready to serve his administration.’

The outgoing U.S. director of national intelligence has extended an olive branch of sorts to Donald Trump — denouncing media leaks, casting skepticism on a report that Russia has damaging material on the president-elect, and assuring Trump that America’s spies stand ready to serve him.
In an unusual statement, James Clapper said he had spoken Wednesday evening with Trump, five days after the spy chief and some of his counterparts met with the incoming president to discuss U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election, possibly to help him win.

  1. Crap! DNI Clapper acted unprofessionally. The right thing to do before binding fake news as an addendum to intelligence reports would be to investigate and confirm their authenticity. All his splutter now, on the said exposure, are mere afterthoughts. He failed the intelligence community, America and himself. His conduct is unacceptable, childish and reckless. He couldn’t have been anything else but calculatingly spiteful.

  2. The Secret Service needs to make sure that President Obama and President Trump are all riding in the same limousine going to the inauguration for the good of the Republic of course. And no one should trust the intelligence agencies and their propaganda media Outlets covering this event the Secret Service also needs to make sure that the Obama family and the Trump family are stationed directly behind the president during the inauguration so that it will deter the intelligence agencies from trying to assassinate him. The odni and the CIA both have more motives than ever to assassinate Trump given his comments and criticism of them. Never forget how Kennedy died..The Secret Service needs to make sure that the former president and the president elect are both riding in the same limousine
