🚨 @DNI_Ratcliffe is considering holding up Friday's report on foreign election interference, arguing that the report downplays the National Security threat posed by China's efforts to sway the election.https://t.co/oy1CaW8H1g— Praying Medic (@prayingmedic) December 16, 2020

Checking the Bloomberg article, quoting some snips, “sources familiar with the matter”, “the anonymous people”...????? The entire article is garbage if anyone wants to read it. Their attempt to prop up the decaying specter of “Russia did it” is almost embarrassing. Plus, the Sept 2018 doesn’t say anything about giving the report about foreign election interference to Congress, lemme check.

Yup, I’m right. Nowheres does the EO say that Congress has to have this info:

Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

President Donald Trump’s spy chief is considering holding up a report to Congress on foreign efforts to sway the Nov. 3 election, arguing that China should be cited more prominently for its attempts to influence American voters, according to people familiar with the matter.

The disagreement that’s dividing U.S. intelligence officials and analysts has prompted Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe to weigh withholding his certification of the report that’s supposed to be delivered to U.S. lawmakers on Friday, the people said.
Ratcliffe wants the report to more fully reflect the national security threat that China’s efforts posed, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity owing to the sensitivity of the information.

The report was set to go to Capitol Hill as Trump continues to reject the outcome of the presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden. Trump has claimed without proof that wide-scale voter fraud cost him the race, with a number of fellow Republicans still refusing to recognize Biden as president-elect. The intelligence report wouldn’t deal with allegations of domestic fraud, such as in ballot-counting.

I don’t see where the DNI is obliged to deliver anything to Congress. The EO seems pretty clear about to whom he’s to deliver the report. Is there a section I haven’t read correctly?
