The notes made public for the first time today recount a conversation the top analyst in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) had with an unnamed superior who worked closely with the then-Director James Clapper, according to sources familiar with the document.
The release of the notes represents the latest cache of documents declassified by the Trump administration official concerning the ICA that outgoing President Barack Obama ordered, which falsely assessed that Putin “aspired” to help Trump win the election. An earlier release by the current Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revealed the senior intelligence official — whom her office identified as an ODNI whistleblower — had been charged with conducting a “scrub,” which is a review, of the intelligence in the non-compartmented ICA. Emails released last week by Gabbard show the top analyst expressing shock over the ICA’s reliance on the Steele dossier because the versions the analyst reviewed included no intel relying on the Hillary Clinton-based fairy tale of opposition research.
According to a person familiar with the notes, the analyst documented his recollection of the conversation on March 31, 2023 — more than six years after the conversation occurred. The delay, The Federalist’s source explained, occurred because the analyst’s efforts to share his concerns, first with the Inspector General of the Intelligence...

sounds like a real den of thieves.
“No name given in the article. Therefore it didn’t happen.”
I used to think that this kind of comment was just obtuseness. The last few years have taught me to agree with it.
Very good article. Thanks for posting.
To the crapper with Clapper.
Horrifying threat from Clapper to a whistleblower being held by both arms:

I figured I was ready for Cassius Clay
I said, “Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come
26, 27, 28, 29, I’m gonna make your face look just like mine
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, you better run
99, 100, 101, 102, your ma won’t even recognize you
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, gonna knock him clean right out of his spleen”

Imagine making someone look like Clapper.
Any of them arrested yet?

There are things that don’t happen on TV, that must remain out of the public eye, at least temporarilly. Otherwise, bad things happen.
Clapper used to be the commander of my current organization. The chief scientist went to prison for child porn, and his picture disappeared from the leadership wall. I am looking forward to the day when I can walk into the front office and remove the Clapper picture from the “past leaders” wall. He’s a disgrace.
