Way to cherry pick. Did you need to have the emphasis added stuff to figure out what CNS News (a right-wing spin factory) wants you to think?

What Clapper said (from the link *you* provided) was:

Clapper, a strong critic of Trump, replied, "Well, I uh, I don’t know. I, I don’t think there was any wrongdoing. I think at the time all of us were trying to navigate a very, very difficult, politically fraught, highly charged situation. I know, for my part, my main concern was the Russians, and the threat posed by the Russians to our very political fabric.

"The message I’m getting from all this is apparently what we were supposed to have done was to ignore the Russian interference, ignore the Russian meddling and the threat that it poses to us, and oh, by the way, blown off what the then commander-in-chief, President Obama, told us to do, which was to assemble all the reporting that we could, that we had available to us -- and put it in one report that the president could pass on to the Congress and to the next administration. And while we’re at it, declassify as much as we possibly could to make it public, and that’s what we did."

[Emphasis added by me this time]
Hmm...that's adds a little more clarity. Why didn't you include this part? Perhaps because it tosses your bullshit "whataboutism" out the window. Perhaps you should be defenestrated too?
