Intelligence analysts downplayed Chinese election influence to avoid supporting Trump policies, inspector finds

So special. All bad guys are Russians, didn’t you know that?

p

Those who shouted about Russian collusion were colluding with China at the same time.

So what does the inspector do? Bad analysis by political bias. Through it out and have a senior intel officer re-write it.

Comes out just hours after congress certifies the election. Nice.

So, in essence, they held back critical information from the POTUS and his administration...and lied about it.

“We won, didn’t we?”

Just wait till all the super big proof comes out the 21st of this month. The whole world will find out the truth. They will say oops, we will fix it now.

The whole world will find out the truth. They will say oops, we will fix it now withe our magic wand and the help of the tooth fairy

Biden’s Weaponized Banana Republic working for the Chinese.

Don’t forget that a high ranking DOD official admitted they lied about troop numbers in the sandbox to Trump because they disagreed with removing more troops.

I wonder how that would have been portrayed under the last administration?

Seems like a Special Prosecutor needs to be appointed in the next 12-13 days to investigate this collusion.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Transparent Timing, Intelligence Community Assessment on Foreign Interference in 2020 Election Submitted to Congress Hours After Electoral Certification

Posted on January 7, 2021 by Sundance

Good grief… Could the purposeful timing of those intent on preserving corrupt intelligence and U.S. government institutions be any more transparent?

As CTH noted weeks ago, the DNI report on foreign involvement in 2020 election interference could structurally have established the framework for election challenges on the basis of the guarantee clause of the constitution. However, in order for that to be effective it would be needed prior to the congressional certification of the electors.

Today, literally hours after congress votes to certify the election results, that very same DNI report is now delivered to congress.

Buried inside an article noting that politically motivated intelligence officers intentionally withheld information about China’s active involvement in the 2020 election, we find this sentence:

“The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election … was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.” (link)

WASHINGTON DC – Politicization problems exist in U.S. spy agency assessments on foreign influence in the 2020 U.S. election, including analysts who appeared to hold back information on Chinese meddling efforts because they disagreed with the Trump administration’s policies, according to an intelligence community inspector.
Barry Zulauf, an analytic ombudsman and longtime intelligence official, issued a 14-page report obtained by the Washington Examiner to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, revealing his investigation was “conducted in response to IC complaints regarding the election threat issue.” In addition, he lamented the “polarized atmosphere has threatened to undermine the foundations of our Republic, penetrating even into the Intelligence Community.”
The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election, which will not focus on claims of mail-in fraud or unfounded allegations of voting machines flipping millions of votes, was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.
Expected in December, the assessment was delayed as senior intelligence officials clashed over the role played by China, and as director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe sought to include more viewpoints in the final analysis.
“Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference.
The analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tend to disagree with the administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies,” Zulauf concluded, saying this behavior violated analytic standards requiring independence from political considerations.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

Yeah, a few more of these articles and I’m gunna go ballistic.
