Newsweek -James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, has spoken out about Russia’s bid to subvert the 2016 presidential election. In his new memoir, Facts and Fears: Hard Truths From a Life in Intelligence, Clapper describes evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin swayed the election in a bid to secure Trump’s election as “staggering.”
“Of course, the Russian efforts affected the outcome," writes Clapper, as cited in a Washington Post review.
"Surprising even themselves, they swung the election to a Trump win. To conclude otherwise stretches logic, common sense and credulity to the breaking point. Less than eighty thousand votes in three key states swung the election. I have no doubt that more votes than that were influenced by this massive effort by the Russians.”

And of course Clapper would never tell another lie.
