Jonathan Banks: James Clapper

Quotes 

• John Brennan : I think it's fair to start asking why Putin would want Donald Trump elected. I have to believe it's more than just a personal animus towards Secretary Clinton.

  Barack Obama : And what does Putin stand to gain by having a friend in this office instead of me?

  James Clapper : Oh, sir, at the very least, end to the financial sanctions you imposed on them for invasion of Crimea.

  John Brennan : A weakening of our most critical Western alliances.

  Jeh Johnson : They're probably hoping to collapse NATO.

  James Clapper : An end to the Iran nuclear deal.

  John Brennan : And we'll start to allow drilling for oil in the Arctic.

  James Clapper : Pathway for Turkish incursion against the Kurds. Trade war with China. And most importantly... discord. The U.S. government consumed by hyper-partisanship -- war with itself. Republicans and Democrats no longer able to govern together. That was the goal all along.
