Rep. Peter King Says It‘s A Disgrace To Call Out James Clapper For Lying To Congress

King has argued that reporters ought to be prosecuted for reporting on government leaks, even if those leaks revealed unconstitutional programs.

And now, it appears he‘s directly attacking others in Congress who see the world a bit differently
