Apparently Clapper is lying about lying too[1]. According to Wyden[2], the question he asked was actually given to Clapper in advance so the idea that Clapper didn't understand exactly what Wyden was referring to seems like a load of bull.

Realistically though do we expect honest testimony from people who's job it is to do secret stuff like this?

Isn't it curious how closely this resembles skirting responsibility on a technicality? Nah. /s
