Jonathan Easley of The Hill publication reported on 4/27/18 that former DNI James Clapper discussed the Trump dossier with Jake Tapper of CNN in 2017.

The House Intelligence Committee released on Friday a the results of their investigation into Russian medlging and found no Trump Russia collusion, which some Democrats have attacked the committee as partisan. Clapper may have initially denied leaking to the media, but may have later revealed he had discussed the Dossier prior to Trump's inauguration.

Harry Shearer has a good song about James Clapper's least untruthful asnwer but cant seem to find it on youtube, perhaps somewhere on his personal site. Clapper first denied there was mass surveillance and then admitted he responded in the least untruthful manner concerning his mass surveillance testimony--so he may not value truth very highly.

The Hill reports Clapper has asserted some LEO and intelligence are "under assault" by president Trump, which seems like quite a claim, I wonder how Trump is attacking people? It is interesting all the stuff going on and one might wonder how it will all play out and what people will think of these people and events 5, 10 and 50 years from now, especially if it takes over half a century to declassify the documents about our world today.
