TIME TO INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE SWAMP. WE HAVE MAJOR POLITICAL ACTIONS FROM THOSE THAT SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT BUT PLAY THE GAME OF POLITICS JUST LIKE POLITICIANS. SOUNDS LIKE WHAT HAPPENS IN CHINA? In my opinion.
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe assessed that China interfered in the 2020 federal elections, according to a letter transmitted to Congress.
...Ratcliffe alleges that intelligence about China’s election interference was suppressed by management at the CIA, which pressured analysts to withdraw their support for the view.
Citing a report by the Intelligence Community’s analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, the director of national intelligence said that some analysts were reluctant to describe
China’s actions as election interference because the analysts disagreed with the policies of President Donald Trump.
“Based on all available sources of intelligence, with definitions consistently applied, and reached independent of political considerations or undue pressure—that the People’s Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections,” Ratcliffe wrote.
In the report (pdf), Zulauf states that the analysts working on Russia and China applied different standards to their reporting on election interference. While labeling Russia’s activity as clear election interference, the analysts were reluctant to do the same for China.
“Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference,” Zulauf wrote.
“These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.”
The analytic ombudsman’s report assesses that politicization occurred in relation to both Russia’s and China’s election interference. Zulauf assessed that neither intelligence community leaders nor analysts are at fault, blaming the hyperpartisan atmosphere in the United States instead.
“In most cases, what we see is the entire system responding to and resisting pressures from outside, rather than attempts to politicize intelligence by our leaders or analysts.”
The report states that the analysts who assessed Russia’s election interference had complained that the intelligence community management was reluctant to deliver their assessments to government clients because the work was not “well received.”
“Analysts saw this as suppression of intelligence, bordering on politicization of intelligence from above,” Zulauf wrote.
In a Dec. 3 op-ed, Ratcliffe said the CCP “poses the greatest threat to America today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom worldwide since World War II.”
“The intelligence is clear: Beijing intends to dominate the U.S. and the rest of the planet economically, militarily, and technologically,” he wrote. “Many of China’s major public initiatives and prominent companies offer only a layer of camouflage to the activities of the Chinese Communist Party.”

THE BIG LIE FROM THE LEFT IS IN FULL BS MODE WITH LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES. So, let's hope Manchin and Sinema both hold firm and I would like to see a few others jump ship if this vote is forced to out all the moderate Democrats. That would leave nothing but Socialists and Marxists voting for a takeover of our Democracy. Democrats know they can't win without cheating—all in my opinion.
"With Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona refusing to eliminate the filibuster and pass a pair of election reform bills, Democratic politicians are claiming that Republicans will prevent fair midterm elections in November.
President Joe Biden cast opponents of the bills as the heirs of segregationists, and laws requiring voter ID and banning line-warming as “Jim Crow 2.0.” ...”
TWO PEAS IN A POD - GOV GRETCHEN FROM MICHIGAN AND FORMER GOV. CUOMO FROM NEW YORK, BOTH OF WHOM WERE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ELDERLY DEATHS THAT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. So, this is a picture of the progressives that kill by policies then get free of any charges. Will Gov. Gretchen avoid any crimes as well as Gov. Cuomo? We'll see—all in my opinion.
"At the start of the pandemic, Whitmer, a Democrat, issued an emergency executive order to place infected senior citizens in extended care facilities that had the ability to isolate them in a designated wing. As the infection spread, many residents and care workers died.
The audit found that 8,061 elderly Michiganders died of the disease in the state’s nursing homes ..."
DR. FAUCI IS JUST LIKE PELOSI GETTING RICH OFF OF INSIDER INFORMATION. So, Congress should not be able to trade because of the power they have to be corrupted by riches. How do you think Pelosi and Fauci became rich? Insider information. But Fauci is playing with fire that could kill so many as Covid has and for him to set policy is wrong. All in my opinion.
"Dr. Anthony Fauci invested in the Chinese regime’s corporate “national champions,” large Chinese companies that advance Beijing’s interests and benefit from state policies, in a 2020 investment portfolio, according to recently disclosed financial records."
