Deep State Pushes to Deep-Six Intelligence Report Demonstrating Chinese Interference in 2020 Election
Breitbart ^ | 16 Dec 2020 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 12/16/2020 7:36:11 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe is considering not signing an intelligence report to Congress if it does not accurately reflect an ongoing debate among intelligence community career analysts over Chinese attempts to influence American voters in the 2020 election, according to a source familiar with the issue.

The intelligence report on foreign efforts to influence the 2020 election is due to Congress on Friday, but Ratcliffe is concerned it will not accurately reflect the debate among senior intelligence community analysts as to the extent of China’s influence operations during the election, according to the source.

There is allegedly “ample” raw intelligence about China’s intentions and actions related to the election, with more intelligence reporting coming in everyday. Some of the influence operations include social media campaigns seeking to amplify messages such as that President Donald Trump is a white supremacist.

However, senior career analysts disagree on the significance of those influence operations. Some analysts argue that they were minimal or ultimately not acted on, while others say it is extensive and far more than previously known. The disagreement includes whether there should be a China section in the report, according to the source.

Despite this serious debate, Ratcliffe is concerned that proper tradecraft — which would require that the disagreement be reflected in the report with both views represented — will not be followed simply in order to deprive President Trump of a potential political talking point.

In other words, Ratcliffe is concerned that the intelligence report would be written in a way due to politics — the very definition of politicization of intelligence, and only bury real and growing concerns about China from the intelligence community.

These would be the same people who tried to frame candidate and then President Trump with phony Russian collusion using fraudulent documents.

The way this is going, I’m going to predict that when this report comes out, it will absolutely PROVE that Trump really is Hitler.

Ratcliffe, you are the director of NIA.

You take what your subordinates give you and make your own decision.

Your subordinates do not control you.

"debate among senior intelligence community analysts as to the extent of China’s influence operations"

Lol.

Maybe the "analysts" could factor-in the "president elect's" son getting a $1.5 billion deal (plus other payments), two weeks after flying into and out of China with the then-VP on Air Force 2.

I dunno, if I were an "intelligence analyst" I might consider that alone to be a little suspect.

The catalog of "influence operations" goes also to Dominion Voting Systems, which received a $400 million injection on October 8 2020 via its totally non-tranparent owner and UBS Securities Ltd., a proxy investment firm set up specifically to handle investments by China government entities.

And that's just for starters. There's a lot lot more.

Our esteemed "intelligence analysts" really seem to be extremely naive and rather unintelligent.

Need to include US news network media campaigns in that operation as well.

Sessions, Barr, Huber, Durham, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh, now Radcliffe. Other than Trump, they can all go to hell.

The entire DNC has been infiltrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China is going for a soft coup instead of an all out military war to take over the US.

Between releasing the corona virus on the country and their involvement in the election fraud, they are going to achieve their goal of owning the US without a single shot being fired.

We are so stupid in this country. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Yep. Because they're ALL complicit.

They don't want their gig to be over and their jig to be up.
