An insider in America’s intelligence community who now has turned whistleblower says he refused to concur in the manipulated intelligence assessment created under Barack Obama that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help candidate Donald Trump, and immediately was excluded from further discussions.
Further, his concerns about the falsehoods being pushed by that agenda were ignored, he said.
A report in the Washington Times cites the whistleblower, unidentified, in explaining he was pressured by his Obama administration superiors to go along with the staged arguments.
Evidence being found in newly declassified documents suggests that Hillary Clinton fabricated the Russiagate scandal for Trump because of concerns voters would remember her scandalous behavior when she put national secrets on an unsecured computer server she set up.
The documents also suggested the campaign to fabricate claims of links between Trump’s campaign and Russia was aided by Democrat officials from Obama down.
More information has been promised, and multiple Obama-era officials already have been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation and possible charges.
The Examiner reported the senior U.S. intel official confirmed he was pressured to endorse the false conclusions created under the anti-Trump scheme, and then he was cut out of discussions.
The report said he was a deputy national intelligence officer at the National Intelligence Council from 2015 to 2020.
“I was pressured to alter my views,” the whistleblower said, regarding a “coordinated push” to rally behind the messaging that Russia and Trump were colluding.
His testimony was released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who has been working to declassify government documents from the Obama administration that show attempts to undermine Trump’s presidency.
According to the report, “The whistleblower said he objected to framing the Russian operation as a bid to help Trump, rather than a broader attempt to sow discord and distrust, which was the intelligence community’s view until after Trump won the election and Obama ordered a new assessment. The whistleblower also accused colleagues of omitting the role of other foreign nations, including U.S. allies, in attempting to influence the electorate.”
He said he found out later that the discredited Steele dossier funded by the Clinton campaign had been integrated into an intel community assessment of Russia’s attempts to influence American elections.
He also reported being told to conceal from the National Security Council evidence of intercepted communications, instructions that he said came as he was working under then-DNI James Clapper and then-CIA Director John Brennan.
He said he discussed issues with a special counsel, but the complaints apparently never were forwarded.
The Examiner reported the comments are just “the latest in a string of disclosures by the Trump administration as it seeks to expose what officials now describe as a deliberate campaign to weaponize the intelligence apparatus against Trump during the transition period in late 2016 and early 2017.”
