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."

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."

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."

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

I was recently among those who was shown the roughly 45 minutes of raw footage of the October 7th terrorist massacre committed by Hamas. This will be a long thread, but I believe worth reading.
The brutal and evil footage was compiled by the Israeli government and shown by the Israeli embassy on Capitol Hill this week. The videos and photos came from GoPro body cameras, cell phones, CCTV cameras, and social media posts. Some of the videos were recorded by Hamas terrorists, and some were recorded by the victims themselves, with many of the videos put together in a sequential order or from the POV of both terrorist and victim during the commission of a specific series of atrocities.
The Israeli government said the 45 minute compilation was pulled together from hundreds of hours of images & videos, and so the footage was just “a glimpse of what happened that day.” No cell phones or recording devices were allowed in the room as the footage played, but I took pages of disturbing notes (I am a recovering journalist after all).

Fr. Mychal Judge — “Victim 0001” — was an FDNY chaplain who responded on 9/11 & spent his last moments comforting firefighters & praying for those forced to jump from World Trade Center. The South Tower collapsed & he was killed, becoming 9/11’s first recorded death. #NeverForget

22 years ago today — 9/11/2001 — al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked planes & slammed them into the World Trade Center & Pentagon (and crashed into a field thanks to passengers on Flight 93), killing 3,000 innocent Americans & others. Honor the heroes who died that day & #NeverForget. Image

Scoop: Some new details below on the Chinese spying sagas related to Eric Swalwell and Dianne Feinstein — and on the FBI’s handling of the allegations.

1/ When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another & to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate & equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...
2/ ... a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
3/ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure...
We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this...

A thread of the 13 U.S. service-members killed by an ISIS-K suicide bomber on Aug. 26, 2021 as they manned the gates at Kabul airport after the Taliban took over Afghanistan. They were put in an impossible situation by Joe Biden, but they did their duty honorably & died heroes.🇺🇸 Image
