From the Daily Caller: Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed the shaky and outright fabricated intelligence undergirding claims Russia aspired to elect President Donald Trump in a report with few redactions over the objections of bureaucrats at multiple intelligence agencies, according to a Washington Post report.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and other agencies reportedly invoked concerns about the exposure of “sources and methods,” the paper reported, citing anonymous people “familiar with the matter.” Two former CIA officials who concluded in 2017 that Russia aided Trump told the paper they stood by their assessment.
Gabbard has accused former President Barack Obama and his then-intelligence chiefs — CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper and FBI Director James Comey — of a conspiracy to undermine Trump and disregard the will of the American people in the 2016 election.
The 46-page report, dated September 2020, was based on 2,300 hours of investigation and 20 interviews in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility at CIA headquarters. CIA higher-ups would not permit the report to be transported from CIA grounds until recent weeks when CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Trump intervened, the Post reported.
The Washington Post revealed that Gabbard overruled the arguments of those who tried to stop her from releasing the report, although they claimed that “more of the document should remain classified to obscure U.S. spy agencies’ sources and methods.”

CLINTON PLAN 2.0: The Clinton Plan never ended with the 2016 election. It continued after the election as Clinton campaign officials secretly met with FusionGPS to refinance and re-push the anti-Trump dossier.
