Whistleblower Claims Supervisor Threatened Them ‘to Go Along With Obama-Directed Russia Hoax’
This whole thing keeps getting bigger.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard dropped a whistleblower’s account detailing how a supervisor threatened them to go along with the Trump-Russia hoax.
“This release provides the Whistleblower’s firsthand account of the work carried out in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the concerns they raised about the use of discredited information as then-DNI Clapper and Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan worked to craft the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at President Obama’s request, and how a direct supervisor attempted to pressure the Whistleblower to endorse the January 2017 ICA’s key findings about the Russian Government’s alleged support for then-candidate Trump,” according to the press release.
NEW: Whistleblower reveals how they were threatened by a supervisor to go along with the Obama-directed Russia hoax “intelligence” assessment, even though they knew it was not credible or accurate. The Whistleblower refused.

For the new 2017 ICA [Intelligence Community Assessment], I was directed by-to focus on Russian attempts to access US election-related infrastructure. IC reporting suggested many Russia-attributed IP addresses were making attempts that the IC could not explain the purpose of. Later, when presenting [blacked out] with our findings, [blacked out] directed us to abandon any further study of the subject, saying “it’s something else.” In light of later development in open source repo1ting, I came to have concerns about this Russia-attributed cyber activity and the abrupt dismissal of the study effort.
In addition, I noted other nations’ efforts to influence the 2016 Presidential election, but this critical context was omitted from the 2017 ICA. During conversion of the 2017 ICA to TS//SCI and UNCLASSIFIED versions, key context was not included, and I was pressured to alter my views on the 2017 ICA’s Key Judgements with the expressed intent by [blacked out] that my concurrence was sought to enable [blacked out] to sway the views of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The whistleblower relayed a conversation they had with the superior, who worked closely with Clapper, in early January 2017.
The superior allegedly told the whistleblower that they could not show them reporting, but insisted, “if you saw it, you would agree.”
The whistleblower stood their ground: “My response was that I concurred with varying confidence with most of the 2017 ICA’s Key Judgements, but I would need to review any reporting myself in order to consider it.”
The supervisor attempted to coax the whistleblower by asking if it’s possible Putin had something on Trump he could use for blackmail.
The whistleblower said no even after they debated on it.
The supervisor said, according to the whistleblower, “You need to TRUST ME on this.”
Then the supervisor dropped the biggest pressure: the whistleblower had “to demonstrate [their] ability to ‘outgrow'” their “tradecraft standards” in order for them to receive a recommendation for a promotion to a Senior Executive Service (SES) position.
Yes, do this or your superiors won’t give you a promotion.
My goodness, this supervisor even allegedly belittled the whistleblower. The names are blacked out but I’m guessing the supervisor told the whistleblower that the higher-ups “viewed [his] analyst culture and tradecraft as a pseudo-religion.'”
Okay so this person is a religious fanatic because they’re doing their job correctly? Lovely.
The whistleblower with the mic drop:
I held firm and explained that the “religion” of analysts as [blacked out] called it, to which I belonged, meant I could not claim to concur with analysis that I did not believe in.
Well, when that didn’t work, it looks like the supervisor tried to show the whistleblower their importance. (Which we totally believe after the supervisor belittled this person.)
The whistleblower claimed the supervisor told them that they needed their approval to get the Department of Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency on board.
The whistleblower still refused to change anything in their assessment.
Not being able to receive information and changing assessments made the whistleblower curious. They reached out to NIC [National Intelligence Council] leadership asking them. The answer: “it is routine that we get material and don’t share it with everyone—and it’s not a matter of a particular clearance.”
Weird, considering this person was a member of the NIC’s Election Influence Team.
But then the person was removed from the email distribution without any warning or explanation.
The whistleblower transcribed the conversations in March 2023 because even though they tried to alert the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, Special Counsel John Durham, and Sen. Mark Warner, nothing panned out.

think about epstein and all the folks around the clintons
He is a totally lawless, subversive, duplicitous, mendacious, greasy, hypocritical, narcissistic and stupid POS.
Please be more specific which HE you are referring to (or SHE in case of gender confusion/identity) … there are SO MANY you could be describing that it sometimes gets confusing.
The unnamed person is probably not covered by the last minute pardons…..
Every single person that the “unnamed person” sponored or recommended for promotion needs to be shown the door.
shine those bright lights onto hillary and she’ll squawk out obama
she hates him
she tried her best to snuggle up to black and lsot b/c of them
even clinton won he won there was that hush hush memo that said we have done so much for the black community but what have they done for us…this was back in the 90’s…..and then it was obama that beat herin 2008 when she really had juice…by 2016 it was just a matter of typical lefty being outworked
thats why she is really mad
she just wont say it….OBAMA IS HER DREAM SMASHER
I still believe Hillary was as pissed off about her election loss to the extreme degree because the Dems cheated, but not enough to beat Trump. Imagine thinking the election was in the bag and then finding out that your team’s effort was inadequate to post a “W” even with the cheating.
The failure of the cheating in 2016 probably led to a stronger, successful effort in 2020, as they upped their game (and, in doing so, brought suspicion upon the tally, but not to worry, Dems would rule forever after, or so they thought).
Madame Lazonga prediction: that “apocryphal” Hillary quote about “we’ll all hang from nooses” will eventually be verified… and that’s why she’s unlikely to rat out Zero no matter how much she hates him.
said exactly the same
thats exactly what happened
There’s no need for the supervisor’s name to be blacked out. The only protection they need is a lawyer.
If you read through the released documents, the whistleblower was in the Space Force. This person’s professional opinion was important because his voice was needed to convince the Defense Intelligence Agency to go along.
So this person did not come from the CIA, NSA, or FBI. I would like to know if there were whistle blowers from those agencies, also. If not, then there is major housecleaning still required.
I hope Tulsi promotes the whistleblower to the Senior Executive Service in the CIA, NSA, or FBI.
Several legal experts are saying, Obama will not be indicted or charged because he’ll benefit from a wide sweeping immunity. But what if things don’t stop there on that point?
What if Obama is called to testify before a Grand Jury? From what I’ve read, he cannot plead the Fifth in front of a GJ. If that’s true, the trap is set.
Obama can tell the truth, which will influence the jury to charge/indict his underling cabal, or he can lie.
Should Obama choose to lie to a Grand Jury, he loses his immunity and can then be charged criminally.
Obama is not immune — the office of the presidency is only afforded that immunity for official acts. That immunity would also have to cover people to whom the president engages with or else those people may say hey, that could be construed to be illegal and I could go to jail since only the president is immune. That would essentially hamper the president’s power to conduct his office. Official acts apply to everyone in the executive branch who carry out those acts.
That’s my take. Not a legal expert by any means.
“Yes, do this or your superiors won’t give you a promotion.”
It strikes me as even more Luciferian:
“It’s time you abandoned your principles (‘tradecraft standards’) and betrayed the truth as we have.”
this is not whistleblowing it is ass covering,..the time to blow the whistle was 2017
Until you’ve lived/worked in an environment that is corrupt to the highest levels, you can’t fathom how awful it is. When there is no trust-worthy empowered source to hear the whistle. It is pure hell.
When you are seasoned and in a niche profession- it’s even worse. You have no place to go to. Once you get into your 50s, this is the toilet. Throw DEI on top of this corruption. Again hell.
It tears you apart like you can’t believe. Your mental health goes to zero. Your family won’t recognize the person you become and it will strain your personal relationships.
I’ve lived it. I’ve watched my colleagues live it. In our situation – even if we could get lawyered up, the suit takes about 6-9 years. I know at least a dozen who just hung on to retirement. Those of us with a few years left are pretty much stuck. For the CIA / FBI folks; ugh… well at least it doesn’t end the Stalin way.
Yet.
