Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence (DNI), has declassified documents revealing that James Clapper—when he held her job under the Obama administration—told the intelligence community to fall in line and promote the Russian collusion story, even when the intelligence committee itself had doubts.
Michael Rogers, then Director of the National Security Agency, emailed colleagues saying the NSA was not “fully comfortable” with the Russian narrative and admitted they had no “underlying intelligence” to support it. He even called it a “joint product related to Russian attribution.” A joint product? Like a work of fiction?
Clapper’s reply: everyone needed to be “on the same page” in the “highest tradition of ‘that’s OUR story, and we’re stickin’ to it.’”
That is NOT what someone in intelligence should ever say. Intelligence means… access to actual facts. It’s a damning email, though anyone who’s studied Operation Crossfire Hurricane already knew what these jokers were up to.
This does raise questions about the people in intelligence that were super NOT down with this lie. Clearly there were still adults in the room. What happened to them? Clapper would later try to get Rogers fired but how did they silence the rest? I want to hear more from them.
And What about Clapper and his merry band of liars?? Why does intelligence keep spoon-feeding us these declassified revelations? Are they softening the ground for indictments?
