That was Clapper's job at the time.  He lied to protect his agency.  Kind of like your hero Ollie North.  

If Clapper was the only one who thinks Trump is nuts, you might have a point. There are millions of us ... reality.

A govt employee who's job is to spy on citizens and lie about it... try to absorb that... not rationalize it. Just because you agree whole heartedly shouldn't excuse his treason. The fucker belongs in fed prison.

Lying seems to be acceptable behavior in these tumultuous times. It's telling that even a Democrat called Clapper out on this but with no follow-through it didn't get traction:

"Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who asked the question (about whether the National Security Agency was collecting “any type of data at all” on millions of Americans.), rehashed the controversy in a statement Thursday, saying Clapper had presided over a “deception spree regarding mass surveillance” and that Clapper's office had been given the question in advance and then was asked, without success, to correct the record after the hearing.
“Regardless of what was going through the director’s head when he testified, failing to correct the record was a deliberate decision to lie to the American people about what their government was doing,” Wyden said."
