Paul Sperry, on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom last Friday, discussed his recent investigation in RealClearPolitics. Sperry’s report highlights James Clapper’s alleged creation of fake Russian intelligence to sway U.S. presidential debates in favor of Democrats. According to Sperry, Clapper fabricated Russian intel used by Hillary Clinton in 2016 to attack Donald Trump during their debates. Sperry told Bannon that Clapper repeated this tactic in 2020, generating more fake Russian intelligence to aid Joe Biden against Trump, raising concerns about future implications.

Most notably, Sperry raised concerns about the potential for another terrorist attack on the U.S. homeland, similar to 9/11, and suggested that Clapper has allowed Al Qaeda cells to enter the U.S.

“So, this Scandal you, you talk about 2016 and 2020. We have a crisis right now and the people you finger are part of it,” Bannon said to Sperry. 

“Yeah, also a potential 9-11 encore attack on the Homeland. I mean, he’s already let in his ISIS cells. Al Qaeda cells. We need to get down on our hands and knees and pray that he’s not the commander-in-chief. If we get hit again like 9 11 right now,” Sperry replied. 

Sperry claims Clapper’s actions effectively rigged both the 2016 and 2020 presidential debates against Trump, orchestrated by intelligence operatives. He suggests this manipulation could continue into the 2024 elections, especially considering Biden’s perceived poor performance at Thursday’s debate.

Bannon emphasizes that intelligence agencies’ influence has created a significant national security crisis. He highlights Scott Jennings’ remarks on CNN, pointing out the dire situation with Biden as the commander-in-chief, especially amid global conflicts in the South China Sea, Taiwan, Gaza, the Red Sea, and Eastern Ukraine.

Bannon and Sperry express concern about the potential for another homeland attack, citing Biden’s handling of ISIS and Al-Qaeda cells. Sperry argues that these deep state actors have evaded accountability despite having oversight committees in a constitutional government. He mentions that Clapper played a key role in discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop scandal by framing it as Russian disinformation, a narrative eagerly adopted by the media.

Sperry concludes with Bannon by asserting that until there are consequences for these actions, similar interference can be expected in future elections, pushing the U.S. toward becoming a “banana republic.” He directs listeners to RealClearInvestigations for detailed information and documents supporting his claims.

THE INVESTIGATION

In his in-depth article on the matter titled, James Clapper, “Mr. October Surprise: How Obama’s Intel Czar Rigged 2016 and 2020 Debates Against Trump“, Perry writes that Clapper issued an unprecedented intelligence advisory claiming Russian interference in the election. This move allegedly provided Clinton with ammunition to accuse Trump of collusion with Russia during the debate.  Sperry reports that in 2020, Clapper led an intelligence statement dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as Russian disinformation, aiding Joe Biden’s campaign by deflecting negative attention from Hunter’s dealings. According to Sperry, both actions were criticized for lacking substantial evidence and for being politically motivated.

He writes that Clapper’s interventions were perceived as attempts to manipulate public perception and electoral outcomes. The 2016 intelligence advisory lacked FBI endorsement and was based on dubious evidence from a cybersecurity contractor linked to the Clinton campaign. Similarly, the 2020 statement about Hunter Biden’s laptop, later proven authentic, was strategically timed before a debate to undermine Trump. Critics argue that Clapper’s actions represent a significant abuse of intelligence powers, contributing to Trump’s electoral challenges and aiding Biden’s narrow victory. Clapper’s conduct raised concerns about the politicization of intelligence agencies and their impact on U.S. elections.  Read the full Sperry article for details.
