Published by The New York Times — a known co-conspirator in the hoax — the rambling screed from the former Obama intel chiefs represents a pathetic attempt to dismiss findings in recently disclosed records released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. In summary, the materials show there was no credible underlying intel demonstrating Russia wanted Donald Trump to win the 2016 election and that such falsehoods were forcibly shoehorned into the Obama team’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) at the behest of figures like Brennan.
Brennan and Clapper predictably use their op-ed to try and draw attention away from the bombshell findings. One way they attempt to do this is by citing a past Senate Intelligence Committee report on the drafting of the ICA, which claimed, "analysts were under no politically motivated pressure to reach specific conclusions." (That talking point was dismantled by The Federalist’s Sean Davis and Mollie Hemingway in a recent episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour.")
