James Clapper Wrote to the Other "Intelligence" Heads Demanding They Set Aside Their Evidentiary Standards to Push the ObamaGate Russia Hoax Before Trump Assumed Office

Tulsi Gabbard released this letter.

Former Director of National Intelligence James "Jim" Clapper's letter demands everyone get on the same page in claiming that the Russia Hoax is real in order to give the hoax the veneer of official authority.

It is written to John Brennan, Jim Comey, and Mike Rogers, then head of the NSA.

The reason for the letter? Mike Rogers wrote that he was uncomfortable rushing to conclusions on such feeble evidence -- and on such a rushed schedule.

Because, you see, they cooked this coup up after the December 16, 2016 meeting with Obama, in which Obama ordered them to fast-track the ObamaGate hoax before he was out of office.


Fox News wrote the story up:

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly directed officials to "compromise" "normal" procedures to rush a politicized 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment -- despite concerns from then-Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rogers, who allegedly said his team did not have "enough time" to review the intelligence to be "absolutely confident" that Russia was involved in the 2016 election.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified emails Wednesday. Fox News Digital obtained the declassified records.

...


"I've just returned from a TDY overseas and been updated on the current status of our efforts to produce a joint product related to Russian attribution and intent for the DNC/DCCC hacks," Rogers allegedly wrote in the email. "I know that this activity is on a fast-track and that folks have been working very hard to put together a product that can be provided to the president."

"However, I wanted to reach out to you directly to let you know of some concerns I have with what I am hearing from my folks," the email continued. "Specifically, I asked my team if they'd had sufficient access to the underlying intelligence and sufficient time to review that intelligence."


"On both points my team raised concerns," Rogers reportedly wrote. "They were clear that, at the staff level, folks have been forward-leaning and trying to ensure that we have an opportunity to review and weigh in, but I'm concerned that, given the expedited nature of this activity, my folks aren't fully comfortable saying that they have had enough time to review all of the intelligence to be absolutely confident in their assessments."

So Rogers wasn't willing to rush headlong into accusing the president elect of being a Russian agent.

James Clapper couldn't have that. The artificial deadline was fast approaching. Either this coup would get kicked off with Obama still in office and protecting them, or the coup wouldn't get kicked off at all.

It reads:

Mike John Jim:

I understand your concern.

This is in reply to Mike Rogers expressing his concerns that they have abandoned most of the procedures necessary to assemble an Intelligence Community Assessment, in their mad rush to get this published before Obama left office. Clapper really wanted to fake a paper trail for that special prosecutor he admits he was trying to will into existence, and he's bothered that Mike Rogers is insisting on professional standards of evidence and analysis.

It is essential that we (CIA/NSA/FBI/ODNI) be on the same page, and are all supportive of the report -- in the highest tradition of "that's OUR story, and we're stickin' to it."

Yes, he really says that. He talks like a criminal plotting a conspiracy -- which he is in fact doing.

This makes it clear that all along, there was no evidence supporting the "IC consensus."

There was only the "IC Consensus," and it was assembled precisely because there was no evidence to support it.


This evening, the CIA has provided the NIC (?) the complete draft generated by the ad hoc fusion cell.

I think a "fusion cell" is a group of intelligence hacks assembled to take down an enemy. The "ad hoc" means, I'm pretty sure, that this was done outside of all procedural rules to get it done ASAP.

Remember, this letter was written on December 22, 2016 -- they only had a couple of weeks with Obama in office to set up the frame. That explains the breathless, panicky urgency.

Note, below, Clapper says he will attempt "as much mutual transparency as possible." He says this because Rogers objected that he hadn't made his evidence known to the NSA, so they couldn't evaluate it.

Clapper is saying: You're being told all that I'm willing to tell you and no you can't have my sources because, Surprise, it's Hillary Fucking Clinton's opposition researcher.

We will facilitate as much mutual transparency as possible as we complete the report...

Note the report isn't even finished yet but Clapper is demanding that everyone sign off on it before its completion.

Clapper also stresses that this absolutely must be signed off on before You Know Who becomes president. Emphasis added:

...but more time is non-negotiable.

Because this isn't an intelligence assessment, it's a coup against the elected president of the United States who will take office in 18 days.

And this is the most criminal line: Clapper says we have to "compromise on our 'normal' modalities" -- that is, we have to discard all of our existing methods and standards and safeguards for intelligence collection and assessment -- because we have only 18 days left to set the coup in motion, and, let's face it, we have no evidence that will stand up to any scrutiny at all.

By the way, "modalities" is just corpo-government speak for "ways" or "methods."

We may have to compromise on our "normal" modalities, since we must do this on such a compressed schedule.

Incredible.

Here's where Clapper brow-beats Mike Rogers, telling him there is no "I" in "Intelligence."

This is one project that must be a team sport.

Jim

Clapper's neck is in need of the stretch of a rope.

This is treason. This is a coup.


Below, the emails together. You can see Rogers protesting that "my people" say there's not enough here to even evaluate, and they're uncomfortable "compromising our our 'normal' modalities" of preparing an "ad hoc fusion cell report," as James Clapper would say.
