🧵 Today I’m launching ODNI 2.0 – the first step toward bringing about transformational change that is based on cutting bloated bureaucracy, rooting out deep state actors, and restoring mission focus.

When implementation is complete, ODNI will be more agile, efficient, and effective, reducing our organization by more than 40%, saving taxpayers $700+ million per year.Image
ODNI was created 20 years ago because of the egregious intelligence failures of the Islamist terror attack on 9/11, to integrate and oversee the Intelligence Community and provide timely, accurate intelligence that protects national security.

Two decades later, bloat and inefficiency are rampant across ODNI, and the Intelligence Community is rife with abuse of power, unauthorized intel leaks, and politicized weaponization of intelligence.
For too long, bad actors have exploited and politicized our Intelligence Community to drive agendas that put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people.

Today, we are announcing serious change to ensure the IC fulfills its responsibility to the American people and the U.S. Constitution.
We are eliminating wasteful spending to ensure ODNI is a responsible steward of American tax dollars, slashing redundant functions and inefficiency, and focusing on our core mission.
Bringing about transparency, accountability, and working to end the weaponization of intelligence is essential for the Intelligence Community to begin to earn the American people’s trust.

We are eliminating elements that do not support our mission and have acted as hubs of politicization and pushing partisan priorities into what should be apolitical, unbiased intelligence products.
.@ODNIgov is also making critical investments in @POTUS's national intelligence priorities.

Our National Counterterrorism Center is partnering with law enforcement to secure our borders and communities, and the National Counterintelligence and Security Center is focused on fulfilling the counterintelligence mission.
ODNI 2.0 is the start of a new era focused on serving our country, upholding the principles enshrined in our Constitution, working to end weaponization and politicization of intelligence, and refocusing on our core mission: ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.

Read more about how we are building a more agile, efficient, and effective @ODNIgov.

🧵 New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump's directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election.

In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.

Here are the top Obama Russia Hoax lies debunked by today's release:
🔗 dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc…Image
LIE: Putin and the Russian Government helped Trump win the 2016 election

TRUTH: President Obama, former Director of the CIA John Brennan, and others fabricated the Russia Hoax, suppressed intelligence showing Putin was preparing for a Clinton victory, manufactured findings from shoddy sources, disobeyed IC standards, and knowingly lied to the American people.Image
LIE: The fabricated Steele Dossier was not used as a source in the Obama Administration’s January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment of the November 2016 election

TRUTH: Not only did CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey, DNI Clapper and others include the Steele Dossier in the 2017 ICA, they overruled senior Intel officials who warned them it was fabricated and should not be used.Image

🧵 Americans will finally learn the truth about how in 2016, intelligence was politicized and weaponized by the most powerful people in the Obama Administration to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President @realDonaldTrump, subverting the will of the American people and undermining our democratic republic. Here’s how:Image
For months preceding the 2016 election, the Intelligence Community shared a consensus view: Russia lacked the intent and capability to hack U.S. elections.

But weeks after President Trump’s historic 2016 victory defeating Hillary Clinton, everything changed. Image
On Dec 8, 2016, IC officials prepared an assessment for the President's Daily Brief, finding that Russia "did not impact recent U.S. election results" by conducting cyber attacks on infrastructure.

Before it could reach the President, it was abruptly pulled “based on new guidance.” This key intelligence assessment was never published.Image

UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at archives.gov/rfk.

After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.Image
The 60,000 files released today include never before seen details about the FBI’s investigation into the assassination of RFK.

This includes the discussion of potential leads by various FBI offices, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, and more.
As was first uncovered in the initial tranche of 10,000 RFK files, there were rumors circulating across the globe that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his true assassination date.

Today’s additional investigative materials corroborate that information.

.@ODNIgov’s National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is working to help secure our borders, identify those already in our country illegally who pose a threat to the American people, and get them removed.

Here's what we've done in @POTUS’s first 100 days in office🧵👇
After President Trump’s designation of cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, I directed NCTC to pursue these terrorists who traffic deadly narcotics into the country. washingtonreporter.news/p/exclusive-tu…
To date, NCTC has identified and provided leads to law enforcement on approximately 750 individuals with ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa Cartel as a part of its screening and vetting process.

Our nation’s Intelligence Community must be focused on our national security mission. Politically motivated leaks undermine our national security and the trust of the American people, and will not be tolerated.

Unfortunately, such leaks have become commonplace with no investigation or accountability. That ends now. We know of and are aggressively pursuing recent leakers from within the Intelligence Community and will hold them accountable. (1/7)
Some recent examples of unauthorized leaks within the IC: (2/7)
