TO SPY OR NOT TO SPY

So James Clapper - along with all the other bad actors from the Deep State - have decided that their plant; their informant; their contractor; THEIR SPY within the Donald J. Trump campaign when he was running for president was not actually a "spy".

Why, that person was "keeping an eye on things".

That person was just "observing".

Ever since William Jefferson Clinton infamously stated "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is", Leftists have embraced that idea of deception in their ever growing shell game against the American people.

On April 5, 1887 Lord Baron Acton all those many years ago wrote a letter to Archbishop Mandell Creighton and included the memorable phrase "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

But when taken into context of the entire subject that phrase takes on new meaning, still very applicable to today's political atmosphere:

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it."

Even though Acton was writing about the Church, the same applies to the sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing people in power today. They will rationalize that what they did was "for the good of the whole" when, in fact, they were working to undermine a duly elected president - and with him - the entire country simply because they lost power.


Oh, and just for the record:

The definition of spy:

n. An agent employed by a state to obtain secret information, especially of a military nature, concerning its potential or actual enemies.
n. One employed by a company to obtain confidential information about its competitors.
n. One who secretly keeps watch on another or others.

Potato, Potahto - 'eh Clapper?

You say "observe".
We say SPY.
