Overview
Newly declassified emails reveal alleged deliberate compromises of standards and violations of protocols in the creation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly directed officials to rush and politicize the 2017 ICA, bypassing normal procedures despite internal concerns.
NSA Director Rogers specifically voiced concerns about the rushed and compartmentalized process used to produce the intelligence report, indicating internal dissent within the agencies.
The 2017 ICA concluded that Russia was responsible for leaking data from the DNC and DCCC, interfering in the 2016 election to aid Donald Trump's victory.
Despite the ICA's conclusions, the FBI and NSA reportedly held concerns and low confidence assessments regarding the findings, which were seemingly overlooked.
