Trump intelligence chiefs hid evidence of Russian election interference

Lost in the news on the day of Trump's Insurrection was a devastating new watchdog report to Congress on the politicizing and distorting of intelligence during Donald Trump's time in office.

The analytic ombudsman, career intelligence community veteran Barry A. Zulauf, determined that under Trump, national intelligence reports had become highly politicized. Important findings were suppressed to appease Trump's refusal to acknowledge Russian interference in American elections,

Zulauf's unclassified report paints a frightening picture of just how much the Trump Administration skewed intelligence to suppress knowledge of interference by Russia in our 2020 elections.

And the "republicans" that voted twice to acquit this POS................must be reminded everyday what, who they are and those in the ODNI need to be brought in under oath..............

1. We need to see this publicized - media, hearings...

[Iliyah]

2. Finally in the open . . .

[januoro]

3. Not a puppet

Said the puppet.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. "You're the puppet!" Welcome to DU

[Botany]

4. When our intel told congress that Russia was working to help Bernis in 2020 ....

.... what did Trump do? Go after the Russians? No, he fired the intel people who released the information.

In 2016 Trump was installed by Russia. End of story.

[sarcasmo]

5. Russia/Trump is real.

[BigmanPigman]

6. We need a new investigation of the 2015/6 election too.

Mieller's report was incomplete and invalid in my opinion. I hope Ossoff gets a transparent investigation into ALL Russian interference and hacking as well as investigate the Crown Prince and the murder of a journalist.

10. Agree. Also, wish if possible, they'd look into how many votes Dump stole from Biden

in 2020. The audits were all one sided. Also, the down ballot races. Hate to say it, but all electronic voting machines are not created equal. That's why he was so surprised he lost. He thought the fix was in.

[BigmanPigman]

15. You're right.

He kept saying it couldn't happen (like it was basically impossible since the fix was in, he was told). Definitely look into the 2020 election for the exact reasons you mentioned.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. When I saw all the RepubliCONS mouthing off

with their hate and bullshit, up to the day of the election, I knew that they felt the election was fixed, and that they felt they could say and do whatever they pleased. Trashing the post office was done as a little extra insurance.......

[theneworiginal]

22. Do u think they got double crossed by voting machine companies

who know that once elected, dictators don't have much need for elections anymore?

[judesedit]

25. That's one I hadn't thought of. Anything's possible. And it should

be closely investigated. There are probably multiple contributors.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

26. One possibility

I'm thinking that maybe the voting machine companies decided to not go along with the fixing and let the chips fall where they may. Perhaps they figured it's too big of a gamble.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. I think

that no matter how hard they tried to destroy the mail in ballots, they didn't succeed enough, (a miracle) and the mail votes were over-whelmingly Dems.....

But I also seriously wonder about the diebold machines still in use in several states. A third grader can reprogram them on site....

At any rate, they won't make the same mistakes twice, and the Repubs are already going full bore ahead on the Gerrymandering, and dropping voters from the rolls in all minority counties across the states.

we have had the economy wrecked, the federal gov't was trashed, the covid, and now the massive freezing.
It gets more like the four horsemen of the Apocalypse every day.

[Captain Zero]

28. I think they couldn't steal enough from Biden without it being OBVIOUS

I think they were thinking steal 4-5% but they really needed to steal 10% AND up. 4-5 % didn't get them over the hump.

[Amaryllis]

12. I hope so too, but why Ossoff?

[BigmanPigman]

17. I think I read that he has been assigned as the

"head of investigations" today. I don't know which investigations he will head or maybe he'll appoint others to various investigations.

[MyMission]

29. Before becoming a US senator

Ossoff was previously a documentary film producer and investigative journalist.

He knows how to investigate and report.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. where's the un-redacted report FCS?

[Whiskeytide]

7. Still trying to process the phrase "Trump intelligence chiefs". Making my head hurt. n/t

[Amaryllis]

18. It's an oxymoron.

[lagomorph777]

31. So is Trump.

A fucking oxymoron.

[Turbineguy]

8. They should find out if trump

has Russian citizenship.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Not at all surprising...would love to see Rachel's take on this...

a real in-depth segment on this would be riveting, I'm sure.

[Escurumbele]

11. trump must be imprisoned at some time, the public needs to see him, and his enablers dressed

in orange suits walking with hand-cuffs on their wrists.

I am not saying this out of hate, or the dislike I have of him, his family and his enablers, I am saying it because that must be the picture that stays in the minds of other wanna-be-dictators and corrupt politicians like Cruz, Hawley, Jordan, etc. We must make sure they become afraid of doing the wrong things.

History has to show that justice was made, that the law of the country will not tolerate any treason ever, that all traitors will be made to pay, it must serve to discourage future trumps, and maybe even help clean up the republican party of all the disgraceful people who belong to it, which includes politicians and general public registered as republicans.

Lies must also be punished, we cannot have politicians, like Abbot et al, go on TV and throw lies at people, create division. TV networks must be made accountable, those who call Kamala Harris a socialist must be called out to present their proofs, and if they can't then they must pay.

Truth must come back to our daily lives, and the liars must be made accountable and banished from public office. We also need to prohibit any person who has been in jail for fraud, illegal actions, crimes, etc. to ever run for office. I cannot believe we have people making policy when they have been in jail for fraud.

Education must become the best in the World, music, the arts, sciences, all type of sports, not only American Football and Baseball must be supported in all public schools (Golf, Tennis, Lacrosse, Yo-Yo, etc.). If none of these things get done ignorance will prevail and another crazy like trump will become president again. History repeats itself when we don't do the things we must to make sure it will not repeat, more of the same will have the same results.

[cynical_idealist]

21. I agree

I also want to see x45 in a cell with read only internet so he can no longer be an influencer.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. We need to see that justice is done.

[uponit7771]

13. Another bunch of people who need to go to jail

[sakabatou]

20. Of course they would

[BSdetect]

24. k&r

[Proud Liberal Dem]

30. I hope more details are forthcoming

I have no doubt that lots of stuff has been moved, hidden, destroyed, etc. Hopefully we might get our hands on the full Mueller Report as well sometime after Garland is confirmed

[Blue Owl]

32. K&R for exposure
