DNI Tulsi Gabbard Investigates Evidence That the "Intelligence" Community Treasonously Covered Up for China's Election Interference So That Neither Trump or Congress Could Do Anything About It

The real election interference comes, as usual, from the treasonous Democrats' foreign communist and corrupt pals.

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show

The evidence continues to stack up that the U.S. intel community sought to downplay China's actions in 2020 as Trump sought reelection, perhaps at the cost of legal or ethical rules. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that there was a "false impression that Russia sought to influence the election, but China did not."

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.

The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence -- much of it yet classified -- last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020

The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump's candidacy in 2020.

The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.

They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter -- the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber -- trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter's whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.

The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President's Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.

These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump's 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.

One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.

The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.

...

It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China's communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.
