The post comes after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made certain contentious and classified documents public.
From July 18-21, Gabbard declassified, and publicly released over 100 pages of documents, including memos and internal assessments, alleging the Obama administration manipulated intelligence in late 2016. What caused this furoreThe office of then-DNI James Clapper on December 7, 2016, stated, "We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results" and "Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome." Obama's Presidential Daily Brief the next day merely mentioned the "likely" hacking of an Illinois voter registration database, which had "unsuccessfully attempted" in other states and had no bearing on the electoral total.The brief's draft said, "Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes."But once the FBI, under Director James Comey, declared it would "dissent" from the draft's conclusions "based on some new guidance," those results were hidden.Clapper then led an alternative intelligence report asserting that the Kremlin manipulated the presidential election to Trump's advantage and planned the hacking of DNC emails, thousands of which were ultimately made public by Wikileaks.
Several officials, including CIA Director John Brennan, Secretary of State John Kerry, and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, gathered at the White House on Dec. 9, 2016, where Obama began 'tasking' each to look into 'Russia Election Meddling.' Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonogh were also present at the meeting.
How Obama's intelligence agencies gradually changed course By early January, 2017, former president, Barack Obama, ordered the CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS to produce a new intelligence assessment that included detailed information about Russia's involvement in the US presidential race. This assessment ultimately included the now-debunked dossier created by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele.Later that same day, an email from Clapper's executive assistant stated that the new intelligence assessment needed to outline the "tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election."Later, intelligence community leakers told the media that Obama voiced public concerns about hacks impacting the vote-counting process and that officials had "a high level of confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in the "U.S. Election Hack."According to a National Security Council document, the participants in the White House meeting also "agreed to recommend sanctioning of certain members of the Russian military intelligence and foreign intelligence chains of command responsible for cyber operations as a response to cyber activity that attempted to influence or interfere with U.S. elections, if such activity meets the requirements."
The Intelligence Community Assessment of January, 2017 According to Gabbard, the end result was an Intelligence Community Assessment on January 7, 2017, which "directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months."CIA Director John Ratcliffe published a shocking analysis of the 2016 assessment earlier this month, concluding that Clapper, Brennan, and Comey purposefully tainted it for "possible political motive[s]."Later, more than eight years ago, the Trump Justice Department opened an investigation into Brennan and Comey for possible criminal offences connected to the preparation of that evaluation.The data will be sent to the Department of Justice "to deliver the accountability that President Trump, his family, and the American people deserve," Gabbard said in a statement.
Gabbard's declassification bombshell The declassification is based on shocking new information unearthed by an Office of the Director of National Intelligence whistleblower who told Clapper that there was "no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count through cyber means." The National Intelligence Officer for Cyber pushed the whistleblower to believe the conclusions of the later Obama intelligence assessment, which included Moscow's preference for Trump.The whistleblower's superior told him, "You need to trust me on this," referring to reports that the informant was "not allowed to see," most likely the Steele dossier.
Whistleblower testimony challenges 2017 assessment The whistleblower wrote in one of their emails, "As for the 2017 ICA's judgement of a decisive Russian preference for then-candidate Donald Trump." Based on the material at hand and my professional analytical opinion, I was unable to concur in good conscience.The documents claim an earlier finding (around September-December 2016) which showed no evidence of direct Russian cyber interference, but Gabbard says intelligence officials suppressed it in favor of a new assessment accusing Russia of meddling to aid Trump.As of Friday, July 18, Gabbard has called for prosecution against Obama-era officials, namely, James Clapper, John Brennan, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, and the man himself, after alleged 'treasonous' intelligence interference.
