professional liar, who gauges his or her success by how easily he or she can befuddle and misdirect an entire elected body of representatives, about the nature, scope, intent, use, and depth of unconstitutional spying on one's own citizens. Despite the fact that every other miscreant and liar who attempts similar dissembling, lying and deliberately false testimony, usually ends up sitting in jail, a "Clapper" usually gets promoted, is rehired, or is appointed to lead a Faux "supervisory and investigatory" committee to prevent the general public from ever learning about his high crimes, misdemeanors, and perjury.
