 Senior Obama Official Threatened Russia Hoax Whistleblower

A close associate of then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper allegedly threatened to withhold a promotion from a senior intelligence officer unless he signed off on the bogus Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on the extent of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

New documents detail a 2017 conversation between an Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) analyst and an unnamed official who worked closely with then-DNI Clapper, according to a report from The Federalist citing sources familiar with the documents. The ODNI analyst was allegedly told that he needed to “outgrow” his refusal to sign off on assessments he had not personally reviewed in order to receive a promotion.

“You need to trust me on this,” the senior official allegedly told the analyst.

The report comes just days after current DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified a series of documents outlining how Clapper, along with then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-FBI Director James Comey, signed off on a bogus ICA report claiming that Russian interference in the 2016 election altered the result in favor of President Donald Trump. The report further insinuated that the Kremlin intervened specifically to help Trump, leading to the bogus Russian collusion investigation that largely hampered the president’s first term.
