According to notes obtained by The Federalist, a top intel analyst said one of Clapper’s henchmen told him to approve the fake ICA report because “There is reporting you are not allowed to see,” adding that “if you saw it, you would agree.”
“You need to TRUST ME on this,” Clapper’s unidentified supervisor would say to the intel analyst.
The intel analyst refused to sign off on the fake report even though he was being threatened.
Excerpt from The Federalist:
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 Community (IC), and then later with Special Counsel John Durham and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, proved unsuccessful. Only later did the analyst receive an inquiry for more information about his claims, leading to the drafting of the summary of his recollections.
Those notes capture the analyst claiming in early January that his supervisor told him, “There is reporting you are not allowed to see,” adding that “if you saw it, you would agree” with the ICA. After noting he concurred “with varying confidence with most of the 2017 ICA’s Key Judgements,” the analyst explained that he “would need to review any reporting myself in order to consider it.”
“You need to TRUST ME on this,” Clapper’s crony countered, stating to the analyst he “would need to demonstrate [his] ability to ‘outgrow’” his refusal to sign off on assessments he did not share, in order to be recommended for a promotion. The analyst remained firm, according to the notes, which led his exasperated superior to reply, “I need you to say you agree with these judgements, so that DIA will go along with them!”
The notes obtained by The Federalist come after ODNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a presidential briefing from December 2016 revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he was personally involved in manufacturing and politicizing the intelligence to create the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
The usual suspects also met in a secret meeting in the Oval Office shortly before Trump’s 2017 inauguration.
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sally Yates, James Comey, Susan Rice, John Brennan and James Clapper all were in the January 2017 Oval Office meeting discussing the phony Russia dossier and General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
