The Federalist reports an apparatchik of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence official unless he concurred in the fake Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.

That would fit with the ONDI Analyst being told by his superior there was intelligence to support the conclusion but he couldn’t see it.

I am thrilled to see people like Flynn, Luna and others pressure Bondi to act. Bondi acting on anything big is quite unlikely. Her pattern of behavior is clear, it is deception. Bob Barnes was on InfoWars Tuesday. He gave insight into what is going on with Bondi. Honest conservatives with experience in law and the DOJ that support Trump… Read more »
