8. I checked youtube & couple other places but am unable to find a raw clip, but some great accounts on twitter have the video shared. This tweet was the source of my analysis of Clapper’s reaction. https://mobile.twitter.com/AmyKremer/status/1187689872540274689
9. Let’s take a more granular look at this. I like this clip because i am able to view it nearly frame by frame, in 720P resolution. I want to discuss his mannerisms, his tells, his overall body language & the words he chooses.

10. Anderson Cooper looking genuinely dismayed, asks him: "you oversaw the investigation into russian inference, what do you make of this?"
And it begins. Clapper immediately reacts, and forgets to cover his body language.

11. His eyebrows go up, the stress lines in his forehead peak above his eyes too. Notice where Clapper’s eyes focus: DOWN AND AWAY. This is stress. He’s caught off guard even though he knew that question was coming. He hasn’t collected himself after finding out. His head is looking down and to the left, but shoulder and body pushing back and away. He is literally recoiling away from this question as is from a physical blow.

12. This is 4 seconds into his spot on AC360 & we have a big, uncontrolled reaction. Thats FEAR. He is very very defensive about this: ac says ‘you oversaw the investigation’ and Clapper’s reaction was to recoil in shock & fear.

13. At 7 seconds in he shifts uncomfortably and says ‘presumably uh uh i uh guess i’m one of those under investigation.’ So he IMMEDIATELY assumed he is the target of a criminal probe. The LEGAL term for that is CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT.
At 12 seconds in, AC says ‘and you just heard about this?’ and Clapper immediately responds with a subconscious head bobble and says ‘yes i just heard about this..’ and shifts in his chair uncontrollably. He is extremely uncomfortable & cant seem to calm himself. Look at his posture and his gaze here...shoulders slouched, looking down and away, eyes wide, the head shake/bobble, the lack of eye contact, shifting gaze. He is extremely fearful & you can literally SEE his mind racing.

14. Clapper continues ‘uh, uh you know, i read the clip about 20 minutes ago...’ as he says that he shifts back & forth in his chair rocking back then forward. This is one of his ‘tells’ he does subconsciously that tips off when he’s extremely uncomfortable. He also darts his head back and forth as he says that. He’s reeling.
Theres a LOT here to unpack!
Some of us #spygate researchers have known #AttorneyGeneralBarr & #USAttorneyDurham have been in a criminal investigation for some time. Its not normal for a US Attorney to work a case jointly with the Attorney General personally.
Its also out of the ordinary for both to interview witnesses & suspects together. This has been a criminal probe for several weeks...but Clapper is telling us the truth by his reaction that he did not know it was such until minutes before going on air thursday night, following the official announcement.

15. I took some screenshots from 18-20 seconds in to show you something: at the moment he says ‘...about 20 minutes ago..’ his body language gets REALLY INTERESTING. He tries to calm & collect himself on camera: he takes a BIG DEEP BREATH, closes & purses his mouth tightly and exhales. He is trying to get control of his emotions. He’s mentally slamming his hand on the reset button. He follows that up by saying ‘um uh i found the ti- timing interesting...’ and he nearly falls out of his chair moving around saying that, and his eyes finally engage. He continues ‘..given the HEAT around the Impeachment inquiry...’ he stresses the word *heat* bigly, and gives a brief pause before *impeachment* and does it again before *inquiry*. He’s emphasizing that..he’s trying to on the fly link this announcement to what’s going on up on Capital Hill. What he’s NOT telling you is WHY it’s linked: this criminal case was ALWAYS gonna happen & Clapper knew that.

16. What is VERY VERY interesting is that he CLEARLY did not expect this criminal case this quickly. That means Clapper expected to have enough time to coordinate with what Pelosi & Schiff are doing- this announcement is EXTREMELY bad news- they need more time but they are out of time.
17. From 25 -34 seconds he continues along the ‘interesting timing’ line, spends a lot of time & effort on that. He finishes that thought with ‘i’ll just let it go at that.’ He again moves around in his seat and moves in, in a more aggressive manner. His facial movements show he is on the attack when saying that. It *strongly* suggests to me he is involved with what Schiff is doing.
Given the #ukraine call #liar & #leaker was a brennan inner circle CIA Officer he is also a Clapper connection. More: we know that Bill Taylor is connected to Clapper via his NGO work.

18. At 0:36 he begins thinking out loud about if this involves ‘the overall investigation of the russian & reporting on the russian interference ...or are we talking about the counter intelligence investigation that was launched in july by the FBI about potential engagement in collusion whatever you want to call it, between the Russians & Trump campaign so im very curious about what.. what is the alleged criminal activities that prompted this.’

19. He is extremely aggressive when he says this; much less stuttering, much more angry. He has this way of lecturing people, an arrogant, abrasiveness that comes from his tone, his posture which leans in and is highly animated... he is on the attack here.
Notice the CHOICE OF WORDS. He says ‘*potential engagement in collusion* or whatever you want to call it..’
Note that he DOES NOT say alleged. He is making an accusation & choosing words he KNOWS the viewers will interpret that way. He knows CNN viewers take his former noscript & assume his words are backed w/ facts- we know his words are based on the steele dossier & fabricated evidence passed on by John Brennan who Clapper coordinated with in all matters #spygate
One more thought on this: when he says ‘potential collusion or whatever you want to call it...’ he’s making a very obvious allusion to John Brennan calling it ‘Treason’.

21. But this last bit is EXTREMELY INTERESTING- Clapper says two things that raise big red flags 🚩
First, he says he doesn’t know what criminal actions would prompt this. He’s pushing away and looking down & off camera saying that- he’s being deceptive. Remember earlier when i discussed ‘Consciousness of Guilt’? He knows EXACTLY what they are gonna find & he’s deeply afraid. Now grand juries & subpoenas are coming. Now the interview that Brennan said was coming isn’t informal.
Second, he used the word ‘alleged’. He wants due process for himself. Yet he continues to deny it to the President- he’s still fully engaged behind the scenes in the #coup & committing #sedition & conspiring w others to commit sedition- #seditiousconspiracy

But there’s a reason he used the word ‘alleged’ at that specific point, in an interview on AC360: this is the beginning of attempting to paint the investigation as a witch hunt based on a conspiracy theory.
The problem with that is two fold; no one believes the #MSM #EnemyOfThePeople any more, least of all #FakeNewsCNN & more importantly the amount of documents & electronic evidence & communications between the conspirators that DOJ has destroy the PR effort the second they start becoming public.
That’s exactly why John Brennan hired a Crisis Management firm wednesday. The same firm Hillary used to deal with the aftermath of Benghazi.

23. At 1:05 AC asks him: ‘do you have any idea even what they might think even rises to the level of criminal activity?’
At 1:10 Clapper begins answering. he slightly pushes back in his chair, shoulders lift up, he raises his voice, and his face shows a lot less tells but you can see him recoil from this. Its more subtle because he’s better controlling himself but you can see it. He says ‘NO I DONT!’ Remember his first reaction at the beginning & consciousness of guilt. He begins immediately stuttering uncontrollably & he loses control of his body language again. He says knowing what prompted this ‘..is of great interest to me!’
Yes, i’ll bet it is. For the same reason Strzok & McCabe both filed wrongful termination lawsuits against DOJ: bc they need that information to begin preparing their criminal defenses & to begin using the #MSM to spin in a PR war trying to make prosecutions harder.

24. He then leans back and shrugs his shoulders and closes his eyes & says ‘what is it that ANY of us did that rises to the level of a criminal infraction...’
Theres a lot here too: he’s trying to play victim, but he comes across as disingenuous. This is the same guy caught lying to Congress publicly under oath about mass spying on Americans & the guy who TWICE now said Obama ordered the spying on Trump campaign.
He knows it was a #coup - thats at the front if his mind & he knows Durham knows. He said ‘what is is it that ANY OF US did...’ - thats an admission this was a conspiracy. #seditiousconspiracy
Lawyers always tell their clients to shut their mouths, especially publicly. Clapper made a huge slip there. He admitted to conspiracy.

1. I want to throw in my two cents on the conversion of the Barr-Durham inquiry on the origins of the investigation against @Potus. This is based on my own experience working on the Public Corruption squad in Los Angeles.
You can lie to the sheep all you want, [Comey]
The truth is you are scared to your core just like [Clapper]
Just like [Brennan]
We’re not attacking the FBI or the DOJ or the CIA [Comey] - we’re coming for YOU. And your conspirators who also committed #abuseofpower #sedition #seditiousconspiracy #espionage
YOU gave the orders. YOU signed FISA apps. YOU approved #OCONUSLures YOU sent agents to entrap #genflynn YOU leaked classified memos. YOU coordinated with [Brennan] [Clapper] [Yates] [Rice] & others.
We’re coming for YOU.
But don’t worry- #OIG report is almost here. And #USAttorneyDurham will be in touch.

You better plan on fleeing to a non-extradition country, [Comey]
New Zealand might be sympathetic to your cause, but we can force them to extradite you.
