I don't think Clapper should get away with lying to Congress, any more than I think Snowden should get away with his crime. A government of laws, not people, should mean that everyone is equally accountable. I know that works a lot less well in practice, than in theory; and I'm especially outraged by the socio-economic disparities involved in the criminal justice system, but that doesn't mean its time to raise the barricades. Or give up.
