[RedState] A new CIA assessment was released on Wednesday that shows how far the Obama administration went to stand up the Russian collusion hoax. John Ratcliffe announced that "all the world will finally see the truth" before name-dropping James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey as those primarily implicated in the scheme.
All three men took "unusual" direct roles in shaping the now-infamous ICA that was released during the presidential transition following the 2016 election. It was that report that would form the building block of the Russian collusion narrative and eventually lead to a special counsel investigation.
The review identified “multiple procedural anomalies” that undermined the credibility of the ICA, including “a highly compressed production timeline, stringent compartmentation, and excessive involvement of agency heads.”
It also questioned the exclusion of key intelligence agencies and said media leaks may have influenced analysts to conform to a false narrative of Trump-Russia collusion.
“The rushed timeline to publish both classified and unclassified versions before the presidential transition raised questions about a potential political motive behind the White House tasking and timeline.”
The review found that Brennan directed the compilation of the ICA, and that his, Comey’s and Clapper’s “direct engagement in the ICA’s development was highly unusual in both scope and intensity” and ”risked stifling analytic debate.”
The CIA assessment went on to note that 13 of the 17 intelligence agencies were excluded from the report, with Brennan having "handpicked" the analysts who produced the ICA. The former Obama lackey also mandated that the discredited (then and now) "Steele Dossier" be included over the objections of the agency's top Russia experts.
Still, the million-dollar question is going to be what comes next. Was it legal for Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey to purposefully manipulate intelligence to try to take down a duly elected president? It would seem odd if it were, and if it wasn't, when do the arrests start? Because I'm pretty sure Republicans aren't going to be satisfied with just an assessment that will be forgotten in a few days.

I'm not seeing a lot of other indictments for past nefarious actions by former government officials, so not holding my breath on any of these guys.

"New Klingon assessment."
Please pull up all previous assessments beginning in 2012.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
