Some lawmakers reacted to the long-expected resignation announcement (https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2016-11-17/dni-james-clapper-to-retire-leaving-donald-trump-with-another-national-security-vacancy) from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on Thursday by wishing him an eventful retirement, featuring prosecution and possible prison time.

The passage of more than three years hasn’t cooled the insistence in certain quarters that Clapper face charges for an admittedly false statement to Congress in March 2013, when he responded, “No, sir" and "not wittingly” to a question about whether the National Security Agency was collecting “any type of data at all” on millions of Americans.
