I’m hearing another variation of this narrative from Jack PoSoSh!t on Bannon War Room - basically the story is that “Russia” was interfering with the election to help Trump but Ratcliff wants it to say China ... Poso is saying there are actually people in the IC who are noting there is information about CCP involvement continuing to this day being that they had a social media campaign. But I think the whole premise of this narrative is flawed & is to minimize the role of China and smear Ratcliff + report ahead of release.
That Bloomberg article is likely what the media “narrative” is going to be. Along with “unnamed sourcse close to the matter” bs. I really do not like Poso. He’s trying to make a name for himself but those who saw him in the past know that he is self serving and dishonet.
Given all the “muh Russia” nonsense in DC the last 4 years, and the recent revelations about China’s close ties to Congress and US business, its becoming obvious China see’s their primary geopolitical threat as Russia...and have been attempting to draw us into the elimination of Russia on their behalf
Have y'all seen this? TLDR Russia DID help Trump in 2016, but not how you think. "Russia turns Hillary's cheating software off, letting Trump win the Presidency fair and square". We've kicked this theory around a bit here. Naughty words Bigg Red!
I was able to hear War Room where Posobiac was talking about the inter department conflict over this report. The way I heard it was that there are three factions in DNI. The 30 year old or more people who have been studying and watching Russia and do not want their previous declarations about Russia interference to be ignored (in order to confirm their own credibility). They don’t want ANY mention of China interference included. Looks to me to be a foolish, selfish, and treasonous viewpoint to me. There is another group who focus on terrorism. The third group are newer and have been watching China and they are insisting that the raw data about China be included. Ratcliff wants it included. If not included he won’t sign. Posobiac said the standard is that if 2 factions agree, the info must be included. Ratcliff and the China watchers make 2. Posobiac said if not included POTUS can go over there and take care of business.
I know what I think I would do. I must have missed the part about making Ratliff look bad. Did someone actually say that? My whole take away is that those old coots don’t want to look bad.
