Clapper allegedly pushed to 'compromise' 'normal' steps to rush 2017 ICA, despite concerns from NSA director
Gabbard declassified emails, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, allegedly revealing that the 'manufactured intelligence assessment was deliberate and came from the very top'

EXCLUSIVE: Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper allegedly directed officials to "compromise" "normal" procedures to rush a politicized 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment – despite concerns from then-Director of the National Security Agency Mike Rogers, who allegedly said his team did not have "enough time" to review the intelligence to be "absolutely confident" that Russia was involved in the 2016 election.

And indeed he did:

The email, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital Wednesday, from Rogers was sent to then-Director of National Intelligence Clapper, then-CIA Director John Brennan and then-FBI Director James Comey on Dec. 22, 2016, at 7 a.m.

Understand your concern," Clapper allegedly wrote. "It is essential that we (CIA/NSA/FBI/ODNI) be on the same page, and are all supportive of the report – in the highest tradition of ‘that’s OUR story, and we’re sticking’ to it.’" "This evening, CIA has provided to the NIC the complete draft generated by the ad hoc fusion cell," the email continued. The "ad hoc fusion cell" was the small team Brennan put together to draft the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, intelligence community officials told Fox News Digital. "We will facilitate as much mutual transparency as possible as we complete the report, but, more time is not negotiable," Clapper wrote. "We may have to compromise on our ‘normal’ modalities, since we must do this on such a compressed schedule." The email continued: "This is one project that has to be a team sport."

Yup. A team sport. In launching a coup against the President elect. A coup that would require the intel agencies to "Compromise their normal modalities" (meaning: cook the books).

Don't drop the soap, Jim.
