Intelligence Community Refuses to Release Dan Coats Memo Tied to Whistleblower Complaint
theepochtimes.com/intelligence-c…
This "secret" Dan Coats memo is in the footnotes of ICIG Atkinson's letter to DNI Maguire which accompanied the whistleblower complaint.
I first looked into the memo because of the particular timing of Dan Coats' creation of the Election Threats Executive—July 19—the day after Trump placed a hold on aid to Ukraine.
My interviews and research did not surface a connection between the two.

A source at the ODNI told me that the agency briefed the White House and Congress about the Election Threats Executive on July 10.
Both the WH and Congress were tight-lipped. A source at the House Intelligence Committee could only confirm that the Cmte was briefed but not when.
H/T to @walkafyre who first flagged the footnotes and memos.
@walkafyre Shelby Pierson is the Election Threats Executive, leading an interagency election security effort. Some describe the position as an "election security czar."
Pierson is former CIA.
At the CIA, she had a neat title—Senior Intelligence Officer for Denial & Deception.
