OK, I could be totally wrong, but here goes anyway. :-)

1. At first, reading, it looks like they’re refusing to meet the 12/18/20 deadline. But after thinking about it and re-reading the excerpt, it now looks more to me like they’re still in the process of compiling info. There must be a sh*tload of it.

2. Although the original deadline was 12/18/20, certification of the electors isn’t until Jan. 6. There’s still time.

3. A bunch of people have speculated that Pres. Trump already has the report (or at least a draft of it). Perhaps, if he deems it necessary, he can release it himself.

On the other thread regarding this issue, I was freaking out along with everyone else. Understandable. But now I’m thinking it MIGHT not be quite the way we all perceived it to be at first.

It means the DNI is giving a big FU to the President

agreed... It's the Deep State fighting back, with one of their strongest weapons: Lethargy

Or, more accurately, "Open Rebellion"

I wish I had your optimism. But when I see things like this, I see stonewalling. I see this will be just like the Durham report. The DNI report will be out soon. Any day now. February or March of next year.

And then what?

Well, that’s it. Between this and the Iran Nuclear deal rising from the grave, I din’t see any reason to get out of bed anymore.

Time to start firing “at” people - by the truckload.

Might work better getting them off their azz! 😱

This is not some deep state FU as GP said, they just need more time.

You can predict future action on past performance. The intel community has F'ed over Trump and the American people for years. I'm gonna go with just the opposite of what you said. I hope I'm wrong; I doubt it though.

Failure to comply with an EO sounds like Christmas being spent in jail to me

Well, there's not much more to tell than that. Water's wet, the sky's blue. And old Satan Claus, Jimmy, he's out there. And he's just getting stronger.

Ok. Sorry I could not resist. It was a perfect setting for the quote.

So then what? Well we wait and let the experts do what they do. If the IC says they need more time, then give them more time. It also means they do not have to divulge what they know till the last minute. To me, why show you hand now? Lets see how this plays out.

It means some of these career intelligence analysts are in bed with China and they don’t want to expose them for interfering in the election. They don’t want their financial umbilical cords with them cut.
