Again declassified documents have been released (one set from Senator Grassley and another, again, from Ms. Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence) detailing the course of a slow coup at the highest levels of the US government, including the intelligence infrastructure.
In this set (released July 30, 2025), we see the genesis of the whole “Russia Hacking The Election” scam, as well as a detailed statement from a senior intelligence official who objected to the things being done.
Again I’ll be brief and give you the most important snips:
How It Started
The Russia hoax began with Hillary Clinton, as a distraction from revelations about her illegal and bizarre email server. More or less anyone else would have gone to jail for what she did (sending classified materials over an unsecured and trivial to hack private server), and it was threatening to hurt her presidential campaign quite badly.
This release displays the actions she and her staff took, as well as those of the Soros group, with whom she was directly and very closely connected. Please download the original and see this for yourself. Here are the essential passages:
Barack Obama sanctioned the use of all administrative levers to remove possibly negative effects from FBI investigation of cases related to the Clinton Foundation and the email correspondence in the State Department.
The FBI does not possess any kind of direct evidence on Clinton, because of their timely deletion from the email servers.
Julie [Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Advisor] says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.
HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] approved Julie’s idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing emails.
Due to the lack of direct evidence, it was decided to disseminate the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated “attic-based” technical structures that are involved in cyber security, in particular the Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect Companies, from where the information would then be disseminated through leading US publications.
POTUS and VPOTUS [Barack Obama and Joe Biden] have acknowledged the fact that IC [Intelligence Community] would speed up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable… in the absence of direct evidence, Crowdstrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media.
The Whistleblower
Please download the original and see it for yourself.
Here again are snips, which I’ll again allow to stand without comment:
From 2015 to 2020 I served as a Deputy National Intelligence Officer at the National Intelligence Council… I led the production of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Cyber threats to the 2016 Presidential Election.
The DNI [James Clapper] stated that then-President of The United States (POTUS) Obama had urgently requested a comprehensive analysis on election security.
I was pressured to alter my views on the 2017 ICA’s Key Judgments, with the expressed intent that my concurrence was sought to enable to sway the views of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Statements to me in early January 2017, regarding the 2017 ICA were:
-
- There is reporting you are not allowed to see. If you saw it, you would agree.
-
- Isn’t it possible that Putin has something on Trump, to blackmail and coerce him?
-
- You need to TRUST ME on this… [He or she] further reiterated that I abandon my tradecraft standards… and stated that I would need to demonstrate my ability to “outgrow” [those standards] in order for [them] to recommend my promotion to a Senior Executive Service [SES] position.
-
- (now visibly frustrated) I need you to say you agree with these judgments, so the DIA will go along with them!
I was aware that I was defying the NIO’s direction to me (to misrepresent my views to DIA) based on a conscious decision to adhere to IC standards, tradecraft and ethics.
I… also judged that the 2017 ICA’s treatment of overt media activities was omitting important context. In response, [REDACTED] actively pressured me to change my judgments, and stated clearly and directly to me that sought my concurrence as a means to persuade the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) so that DIA would provide their concurrence.
National Intelligence Council leadership dismissed my concerns regarding potential deliberate deception of Intelligence Officers by a NIO and of possible attempts to bias analysis.
I judged that other violations of IC analytic integrity almost certainly occurred, that violations of the law might have occurred, or that there might have been attempts to undermine tradecraft or to bias NIO analysis.
Implications
As I noted in our previous post, the implications of these releases may be so large that many Americans will look for one excuse after another to close their eyes to them. And so we must prevent willful blindness by spreading this evidence as widely and repeatedly as possible.
Thanks.
