Former Director of National Intelligence under President Obama, James Clapper, in a speech to an audience filled with kangaroos, said the President’s actions with regards to Russia paled in comparison to what Nixon did during Watergate.

“I think (if) you compare the two that Watergate pales really in my view compared to what we’re confronting now.”

Clapper went on to lament about the firing of incompetent James Comey, describing him as a ‘personal friend and a personal hero of mine.’

He besmirched the President in front of a foreign audience, saying Trump’s sharing of information with evil Russian diplomats reflected ‘either ignorance or disrespect and either is very problematic.’

“I am very concerned about the assault on our institutions coming from both an external source — read Russia — and an internal source — the president himself,” Clapper said
