Documents released over the last month have exposed a post-election plot designed to derail President Donald Trumps first term. The recently declassified material reveals former President Barack Obama sought to continue the Russia-collusion hoax Hillary Clinton had launched during the presidential campaign by directing select members of his intelligence community to craft the deceptive Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)
on Russias efforts to influence the 2016 election. However, a close
reading of these documents reveals Obama holds even more culpability than previously discussed.
As The Federalist reported earlier, the CIAs review of the ICA
established Obama not only knew of and condoned the politicalization of
the intelligence community, but that the former president directed the politicalization. According to the CIAs lessons learned analysis of the deceptive ICA released by the Obama Administration, on December 6,
2016, then-President Obama directed then-Director of National
Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper to conduct a comprehensive review of all available intelligence and provide the ICs best assessment of Russian activities related to the election, ordering Clapper to complete the
review before Trumps inauguration. And according to former CIA Director John Brennan, the White House worked with him to established crucial elements of the process, including directing the CIA to take the lead drafting the report.
That White House-directed process included sidelining the National Intelligence Council (NIC) which, under standard protocols held control over drafting assignments, coordination, and review processes for intelligence assessments. Not only that, but Brennan the man Obama
charged with leading the drafting of the ICA also marginalized CIA and ODNI analysts, ignoring their conclusion that intel did not support the
view that Russia aspired to help Trump win the 2016 election. Brennan also trumped the analysts objection to referencing the Steele dossier in the text of the ICA and including a summary of the Clinton-funded fake dossier in an annex to the report.
Last weeks release of the House Permanent Selection Committee on Intelligences (HPSCI) report summarizing the results of its investigation into the drafting of the ICA exposed further corruption
behind the assessment that falsely reported Russia aspired to help elect Trump. That 46-page report revealed how, after the election, Brennan
ordered the publication of three substandard intelligence reports which, along with the Steele dossier, became foundational sources for the ICA judgments that Putin preferred Trump over Clinton.
