Why Is James Clapper Not In Jail?

[Warlord]

Why is James Clapper not in jail? Didn't he lie to Congress as exposed by Edward Snowden?

Michael Cohen was charged and plead guilty to lying to Congress among other things so surely Clapper should be in the jail cell next to him, no?

Pretty simple. Most of the people that should be putting his ass in jail are Seditious.

I agree, Hillary Clinton is admittedly guilty of Espionage, she will never see Justice.
The wealthy and connected at the top never serve time for their crimes in America.

He should be in jail but unfortunately the people at the top will never allow that to happen. We can always hope some vigilante could take these kind of people out but thats not very likely either.

Too big o'fish, I'd say.

The government is corrupt.

Is it really that hard to figure out? The question all but answers itself ...

Hint #1: Clapper was Director of National Intelligence. Cohen was just some dime-a-dozen mouthpiece.

Hint #2: Which one was higher up the food chain in the dog-and-pony show of Congressional "oversight" - Clapper or Cohen?

Hint #3: Which one is more likely to have dirt on powerful people - Clapper or Cohen?
