Target: Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Congressional Intelligence Committees
Goal: We call for an independent review and greater transparency in the creation of major intelligence reports that impact democracy, to ensure accuracy, accountability, and the inclusion of dissenting voices.
The declassification of a Top Secret email from December 2016 has exposed serious internal disagreements among senior intelligence officials regarding the rushed preparation of the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian activities in the 2016 Presidential election. The ICA, which was ordered by then-President Barack Obama, concluded that Russian leadership directed an influence campaign to support Donald Trump's candidacy, shaping years of political discourse and media coverage.
The newly revealed correspondence shows that then-DNI James Clapper acknowledged the compressed schedule and the need for 'compromise' in standard intelligence procedures. NSA Director Adm. Michael Rogers raised concerns that NSA analysts lacked full access to critical evidence and sufficient time to verify conclusions, warning against putting the agency's name on findings it could not independently confirm.
These revelations highlight the dangers of suppressing dissenting views and rushing intelligence assessments that have profound consequences for democracy and public trust. We demand a thorough, independent review of the ICA's creation, safeguards to ensure dissenting voices are heard, and reforms to guarantee transparency and accountability in the intelligence community. Our democracy depends on it.
Key Demands
- Initiate an independent review of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment's drafting process and findings.
- Establish clear protocols to ensure all relevant agencies have full access to underlying intelligence before signing off on major reports.
- Mandate that dissenting views and minority opinions within the intelligence community are fully documented and made public whenever possible.
- Implement reforms to prevent rushed assessments and guarantee adequate time for thorough analysis and verification.
- Increase oversight and transparency of intelligence reporting processes, especially for assessments that influence public policy and perception.
