EXCLUSIVE: Henchmen Behind Brennan’s Fake Russia Collusion Assessment Are Still At The CIA

Hopefully, Director Ratcliffe’s investigation is still ongoing.

The analysts who crafted the corrupt Intelligence Community Assessment (“ICA”) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of disgraced former CIA Director John Brennan remain active at the CIA, a source familiar with the assessment told The Federalist. Multiple other sources familiar with the House intelligence committee’s investigation into the Russia-collusion hoax added that HPSCI interviewed the specific people responsible for writing the ICA. And as The Federalist reported earlier this week, that HPSCI staff report established that the ICA was “significantly worse and significantly more corrupt than conveyed in the memorandum released last week by CIA Director John Ratcliffe.”

Taken together then, it seems there are two possible conclusions: Either Director Ratcliffe’s efforts to clean out the agency have hit a snag, or the CIA director is quietly seeking to hold Brennan’s collaborators accountable — just as he has done in the case of Brennan and former FBI Director Comey, who now reportedly face criminal referrals based on the CIA’s investigation into the ICA.

Last Tuesday, Director Ratcliffe released a report summarizing the CIA’s probe into the crafting of the ICA. That CIA report detailed numerous problems related to the assessment of Russia’s activities in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. The CIA report, among other things, concluded the ICA should not have attributed “high confidence” to the conclusion that “Putin and the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.” The ICA also should not have included the Steele Dossier in its annex or referenced it in the text of the report, the CIA concluded.

That’s one of the problems Hantity (and others) have - he seems to think all the rot is at the very top. But the ‘very top’ is POWERLESS without an army of people below, carrying out their unconstitutional orders without question. In other words, the rot is more than 1%, more like 90%.

Good post.

When dealing with a hostile organization the rule must be that everyone is your enemy until proven otherwise.

In corporate takeover situations the easiest solution is just to abolish entire departments and divisions.

There may be some real cost in doing that—but at least you can start fixing any problems with new loyal employees.

(In my experience the costs of such actions are usually much less than anticipated—the new employees quickly identify issues and resolve them.)

Bombshell!

Anybody with half a brain knows the CIA has been trying to start a color revolution here for decades. The CIA is as corrupt as the FBI and are all the same for all intents and purposes.

When are these dipshit Trump appointments going to get serious?

No one as of yet has suffered any consequences for the harm they’ve done to our country via the criminal FBI or criminal CIA.
Until and unless they all get charged I have zero confidence in any f-ing federal gubmint.
Epstein an innocent?
Nobody believes that shit.
