Exclusive: IC report concluded "China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence" in 2020 election & "appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward" b/c they disagreed w/ Trump admin policies.
Intelligence Community analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf: "Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference." washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
IC ombudsman Barry Zulauf: "The analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tend to disagree with the administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies." washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
Also: "Russia analysts assessed there was clear & credible evidence of Russian election influence activities. They said IC management slowing down or not wanting to take their analysis to customers, claiming that it was not well received, frustrated them." washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
Ratcliffe: "I'm adding my voice in support of the stated minority view — based on all available sources of intel...& reached independent of political considerations...that the People’s Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections." washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
So @dcexaminer obtained the DNI letter & IC ombudsman report on politicization, and the intel community's yet-classified assessment on foreign influence in 2020's election was submitted to Congress today. Ratcliffe is emphasizing China's influence efforts. washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
A source familiar w/ how the 2020 ICA was compiled said the timing today was based partly on waiting til after electoral vote count by Congress so ppl like Powell, Lin Wood, & ultimately Trump wouldn't exploit the findings to try to overturn the election. washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…
UPDATE: The 3-page letter from DNI John Ratcliffe — Views on Intel Community Election Security Analysis — & the 14-page report from IC Analytic Ombudsman Barry Zulauf — Independent IC Analytic Ombudsman’s on Politicization of Intel — are now available here washingtonexaminer.com/news/intellige…

Newly-unsealed superseding Maduro indictment: “For 25+ years, leaders of Venezuela have abused their positions of trust & corrupted once-legitimate institutions to import tons of cocaine into the U.S. Nicolas Maduro, the defendant, is at the forefront of this corruption…” (1/6)
DOJ: “Nicolas Maduro, the defendant — like former President Chavez before him — participates in, perpetuates, & protects a culture of corruption in which powerful Venezuelan elites enrich themselves thru drug trafficking & the protection of their partner drug traffickers…” (2/6)
DOJ: “Cocaine trafficking flourished. Venezuelan officials & their family members — including Nicolas Maduro… — partnered with narcotics traffickers & narco-terrorists, who dispatched processed cocaine from Venezuela to the United States via transshipment points…” (3/6)
The false claim about Charlie Kirk that went viral after his death was that he said black women don’t have brain processing power. Nikole Hannah-Jones knows that is not what Charlie said, so she back doors the false claim into the B.S. premise of her story through a false quote.
You knew Charlie’s comment was specific about Michelle Obama, KBJ, Jackson Lee, & Joy Reid — then your piece immediately & prominently quotes Durant who makes the false assertion that Charlie was speaking about all black women. I helpfully highlighted both. You know what you did.
You wanted so badly to use the fake viral quote of what Charlie didn’t actually say but you couldn’t, so you back doored the false sentiment into your story with this Durant quote. It’s so obvious what you did & why you used the quote you did. Who do you think you’re fooling LOL.
Exclusive: The GOP House Intel chairman sent a letter directly to President Trump yesterday telling him that CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s new “lessons learned” memo on the IC’s assessment of Russia & 2016 was a “whitewash” that “protects the deep state.” justthenews.com/government/whi…
Bill Murray on @JoeRogan podcast: "So when I read 'Wired' by whatshisname, Bob Woodward, about John Belushi, I read like five pages of 'Wired' & I went, 'Oh my God, they framed Nixon.' ...If he did this to Belushi, what he did to Nixon is probably soiled for me too." Interesting!
Full episode:
Back in 1984, Bellushi’s manager also said that Woodward’s book made him wonder if Nixon was innocent.

DNI Gabbard in Munich: “President Trump’s policies are focused on ‘America First’, but that should not be mistakenly perceived as ‘America alone.’ We recognize a strong America is better positioned to lead, work with, & support our allies & partners around our shared interests…”
Gabbard: “Terrorism remains a persistent threat, requiring a coordinated global response. We must disrupt & destroy terrorist orgs by targeting their ideology, leadership, command structures, & $$$ networks. This effort necessitates close cooperation to share intelligence…”
Gabbard: “The challenges presented by Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea similarly demand a united front to advance the cause of peace, freedom, and prosperity. To deter aggression and maintain stability, we look forward to working closely with those who share those interests.”
