Analysts at U.S. Central Command were pressured to ease off negative assessments about the Islamic State threat and were even told in an email to "cut it out," Fox News has learned â as an investigation expands into whether intelligence reports were altered to present a more positive picture.
Fox News is told by a source close to the CENTCOM analysts that the pressure on them included at least two emails saying they needed to "cut it out" and "toe the line."
Separately, a former Pentagon official told Fox News there apparently was an attempt to destroy the communications. The Pentagon official said the email warnings were "not well received" by the analysts.
Those emails, among others, are now in the possession of the Pentagon inspector general. The IG's probe is expanding into whether intelligence assessments were changed to give a more positive picture of the anti-ISIS campaign.

All the people that would impeach are fully complicit and as guilty of treason as he is.
It’s a lesser evil you know...
Nothing will.
Riots (war)? Maybe exactly what we need.
Wasn’t Clemenza in The Godfather. Who said a war is necessary every once in a while to get rid of the bad blood.
This is Treason.
Anyone thinking that minimizing civilian casualties was the real reason for dropping warning pamphlets on ISIS targets 45 minutes before a bomb-run must also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
Obama is not that stupid, though he knows the majority of Americans are and would readily lap up this excuse.
“They could be communicating through pictures posted on FR and we’d never know it.”
Very true, but still we could make it harder. And theres no excuse that they have facebook and twitter presence and email names. As soon as one is identified it should be killed.
We do nothing to cut off their communications nodes.
0bama has that covered. ISIS is composed of civilians.
If they have the email, they have the sender. Time to start rolling up the chain. Unless that poor slob was the only one stupid to put it in writing and functions as the cutout.
Sun Tzu considered information and knowledge of the enemy the most important thing in war. If the enemy wants to blabber in public let them. Collect every bit of information they are willing to broadcast.
He also considered spies to be essential. Infiltrate them through social media.
It is not against the law to ignore intelligence.
Hell, people have been ignoring intelligence reports since ‘98, ‘41, ‘49, ‘68’, ‘01.....it’s almost the norm for those in charge when they don’t really want to know what’s going on. That way they can act surprised.
“If this doesnât get him impeached nothing will.”
Nothing will get this man impeached. He won’t even be prosecuted after he leaves office.
“Bam bam could give weapons to ISIS, he could warn them before attacks, he could funnel money to them and he still wouldnât be impeached.”
Impeachment is a piece of cake. The Senate wouldn’t convict 0bama if he was caught in bed with a dead girl, or a live boy.
I think you are right. Nothing will.
Definitely high crimes and treason. The question is whether they’ll be allowed to carry out their investigation and live through it...and if the press will report it. Otherwise, it doesn’t exist.
At some point, maybe the press will stop protecting Barry, but I don’t know when that will be.
“High crimes and TREASON!”
One certainly would think so if it was 1950. What will happen> someone “well outside” the Whitehouse will take the fall under the cover of night when they have a guaranteed pension upon stepping down for a 6 figure job on K Street.
Exactly.
They are composed of precisely 3 year-old orphans and widows.
And idiots are making giant banners to welcome them in here by the “millions” “as long as I’m President”.
“At some point, maybe the press will stop protecting Barry, but I donât know when that will be”
Maybe and a big maybe when an ISIS suicide bomber infiltrates Odunga’s Key Advisor Ben Rhoades Brothers office down at CBS News.
At that point they will blame Trump for ‘provoking’ them to slaughter.
Mark those words. They will.
He won't be impeached, and nothing will get him impeached. He probably also won't leave office.
No, all of them are civilians. They are not soldiers of any state and they don’t wear uniforms. According to the Geneva Convention they are civilians not legitimate troops.
Of course they are terrorist civilians but 0bama has the cover he needs to parse his actions.
