“A declassified version of a classified report that the Intelligence Community provided to the President, senior Executive Branch officials, and Congressional leadership and intelligence oversight committees on 07 January 2021,” one the day after the so-called January 6th, 2021 ‘insurrection,’ the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) “Foreign Threats to the 2020 US Federal Elections,” was withheld from the American public until March 10, 2021 by outgoing Trump Administration Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe and by incoming Biden Administration DNI Avril Haines.
In a bizarre example of Intelligence Community bureaucratic double-speak, deception, and omission, the Biden-Administration-released ICA Foreign Threats to the 2020 US Federal Elections states:
This Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), as required by Executive Order (EO) 13848(1)(a), addresses key foreign actors’ intentions and efforts to influence or interfere with the 2020 US federal elections or to undermine public confidence in the US election process. It builds on analysis published throughout the election cycle and provided to Executive Branch and Congressional leaders. This ICA does not include an assessment of the impact foreign malign influence and interference activities may have had on the outcome of the 2020 election…
…Key Judgment 4: We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election…
…China Did Not Attempt to Influence Presidential Election Outcome We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment. China sought stability in its relationship with the United States and did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk blowback if caught. Beijing probably believed that its traditional influence tools, primarily targeted economic measures and lobbying key individuals and interest groups, would be sufficient to achieve its goal of shaping US policy regardless of who won the election. We did not identify China attempting to interfere with election infrastructure or provide funding to any candidates or parties.
We previously reported via multiple exposés published at The American Report a completely different fact pattern.
The fact pattern that we presented in our reporting, in sharp contrast to the 2021 ICA Foreign Threats to the 2020 US Federal Elections, clearly established that China’s communist government and, often working through Chinese state-owned enterprises, used cyber operations and UNRESTRICTED WARFARE tactics to steal the 2020 U.S. election from President Donald Trump and transfer it to Beijing’s preferred candidate, Joe Biden:

- Since 2015, FBI, DOJ Hid Secret Evidence Proving Hunter And Joe Biden’s China Ties Says CIA Whistleblower — The American Report
In other words, the Biden Administration Intelligence Community damn well knew and arrogantly refused to tell the American people about Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. election.
These were the same intelligence officials who ran the hoax Trump Russian collusion coup d’etat operation for years — without consequences.
TIMELINE:
August 7, 2020:
ODNI press release, “Statement by NCSC Director William Evanina: Election Threat Update for the American Public”: “CHINA – We assess that China prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection.”
October 29, 2020:
On October 29, 2020, five days ahead of the 2020 U.S. election, United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Acting Chairman Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) wrote a letter to Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, IC Analytic Ombudsman, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, requesting an investigation into possible the politicization of U.S. intelligence. The resulting DNI IC Ombudsman report later uncovered stark differences and irregularities between the US Intelligence Community’s analysis of interference in U.S. elections by Russia, on the one hand, and interference in U.S. elections by China, on the other hand.
December 16, 2020:
Bloomberg reported:
President Donald Trump’s spy chief won’t meet Friday’s deadline to submit a classified report to Congress on foreign efforts to sway the Nov. 3 election, officials said, because of arguments within the intelligence community over whether China should be cited more prominently for its attempts to influence American voters…
December 16, 2020:
Bloomberg reported:
…In response to a question on Ratcliffe’s office’s statement, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that “China and the U.S. should cooperate instead of confronting each other.”
“China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries,” ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a briefing in Beijing. “This is our principle. For all the allegations that China interferes in the general election of the U.S. side, these are fabricated out of nothing.”
Wednesday, January 6, 2021:
Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, IC Analytic Ombudsman, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, on January 6, 2021, wrote a response letter and report to United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Acting Chairman Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA). According to Dr. Zulaf’s January 6 letter, “China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the [Trump] Administration’s policies.”
Thursday, January 7, 2021:
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe signed a DNI memo on January 7, 2021, “SUBJECT: Views on Intelligence Community Election Security Analysis, REFERENCE: IntelligenceCommunity Assessment: Foreign Threats to the 2020 U.S. Elections.” The opening sentence of DNI Ratcliffe’s January 7 memo states “From my unique vantage point as the individual who consumes all of the U.S. government’s most sensitive intelligence on the People’s Republic of China, I do not believe the majority view expressed by Intelligence Community (IC) analysts fully and accurately reflects the scope of the Chinese government’s efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.”
Thursday, January 7, 2021:
DNI Ombudsman Dr. Zulauf’s January 6, 2021 letter and report to SSCI Acting Chairman Rubio and Vice Chairman Warner was “submitted to Congress on Thursday [January 7, 2021], according to a January 8, 2021 New York Times report.
Friday, January 8, 2021
The New York Times, in an article titled “Trump Administration Politicized Some Intelligence on Foreign Election Influence, Report Finds,” written by Julian E. Barnes, Charlie Savage, and Adam Goldman, reports on DNI Ombudsman Dr. Zulauf’s January 6, 2021 letter and report to SSCI Acting Chairman Rubio and Vice Chairman Warner, and on Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe’s January 7, 2021 DNI memo, “SUBJECT: Views on Intelligence Community Election Security Analysis, REFERENCE: IntelligenceCommunity Assessment: Foreign Threats to the 2020 U.S. Elections.” The opening sentence of DNI Ratcliffe’s January 7 memo states “From my unique vantage point as the individual who consumes all of the U.S. government’s most sensitive intelligence on the People’s Republic of China , I do not believe the majority view expressed by Intelligence Community ( IC) analysts fully and accurately reflects the scope of the Chinese government’s efforts to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.”
Friday, January 8, 2021
On Friday, January 8, 2021, the same day that the New York Times reported on the belated reports from Zulauf and DNI Ratcliffe, the Washington Post published its own skewed and highly partisan take on events titled “Political appointees, career analysts clashed over assessments of Russian, Chinese interference in 2020 election,” writing:
Citing Zulauf’s report, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, chosen for the position by Trump last year, charged Thursday that career analysts in a recently completed classified assessment failed to capture the full scope of Chinese government influence on the election — a charge that some current and former officials say illustrates the issue of politicization, because it downplays the much larger role of Russia.
Here we see the Washington Post once again hyping the hoax Trump Russian collusion conspiracy theory and protecting China’s CCP, just like they protected China and Joe Biden by covering up Hunter Biden’s ‘laptop from hell.’
The Washington Post continued with their propaganda narrative that protects the CCP, adding:
Current and former intelligence officials said analysts believe senior political officials are downplaying the Russia threat and hyping China’s role.
“The evidence shows that Russia is doing actual interference operations — not just running influence activities, like the Chinese mostly are,” one intelligence official said. “That’s the big issue now from the analysts’ perspective. The side we have to be most concerned about is the one that’s actually carrying out major operations.”
President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliff and Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, the Intelligence Community Analytic Ombudsman, ODNI, failed to notify Congress and the American people that U.S. intelligence analysts who disapproved of President Trump intentionally held back intelligence that communist China interfered in the 2020 U.S. election contest between President Trump and Joe Biden
For more than two months following the November 3, 2020 U.S. election, President Donald Trump’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliff and Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, the Intelligence Community Analytic Ombudsman, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, failed to notify Congress and the American people that U.S. intelligence analysts who disapproved of President Trump intentionally held back intelligence that communist China interfered in the 2020 U.S. election contest between President Trump and Joe Biden.
Bloomberg reported on December 16, 2020:
President Donald Trump’s spy chief won’t meet Friday’s deadline to submit a classified report to Congress on foreign efforts to sway the Nov. 3 election, officials said, because of arguments within the intelligence community over whether China should be cited more prominently for its attempts to influence American voters…

“China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries,” ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a briefing in Beijing. “This is our principle. For all the allegations that China interferes in the general election of the U.S. side, these are fabricated out of nothing.”
Zulauf failed to investigate and disclose these intelligence community failures regarding Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. election until compelled to do so by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
By the time Zulauf belatedly issued his report, it was already too late: Conveniently, Joe Biden’s “win” had just been “certified” by Congress hours after the so-called January 6th, 2021 ‘insurrection.’
Did any of the anti-Trump U.S. intelligence analysts who purposely held back intelligence that communist China interfered in the 2020 U.S. election contest between President Trump and Joe Biden work with John Brennan and James Clapper, who illegally commandeered aTHE HAMMER and moved it to Fort Washington, Maryland on February 3, 2009, two weeks after President Obama’s inauguration?
Did any of the anti-Trump U.S. intelligence analysts who purposely held back intelligence that communist China interfered in the 2020 U.S. election contest between President Trump and Joe Biden know about HAMMER and SCORECARD, or about Chinese cyberwarfare attacks against the 2020 U.S. election?
Were Any Of These Anti-Trump U.S. Intelligence Analysts Who Purposely Held Back Intelligence That Communist China Interfered In The 2020 U.S. Election Aware That Former DIA Director James Clapper, Whom Dennis Montgomery Claims Commandeered THE HAMMER, Is Suspected Of Protecting Communist Cuban Spy And Double Agent Ana Montes?

Were any of these same anti-Trump U.S. intelligence analysts who purposely held back intelligence that communist China interfered in the 2020 U.S. election contest between President Trump and Joe Biden aware that former DIA Director James Clapper, who according to CIA-contractor-turned-whistlelblower Dennis Montgomery commandeered THE HAMMER with John Brennan, is suspected of protecting communist Cuban spy and double agent Ana Montes, the who while working as a DIA analyst, penetrated the Pentagon’s top spy agency for 17 years?
According to a report by J. Michael Waller published at the Center for Security Policy in November 2020, then removed several hours later, “Joe Biden’s seniormost intelligence backer, James Clapper, had sheltered Montes when he ran the DIA.”
This week, Montes was released early from Federal prison.
According to CBS News:
Her spying took place around the same time that Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames spied for the Soviet and Russian intelligence services while they worked for the FBI and CIA, respectively…
…Montes “was arrested days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as the Defense Intelligence Agency shifted its focus to Afghanistan and the director did not want to risk Montes passing along the Pentagon’s war plans…The arrest was humiliating for Montes’ family, some of whom worked for the FBI.
Did Ratcliff And Zulauf Even Notify Trump’s Election Attorneys About The Disastrous Intelligence “Failures” Regarding Analysis Of Ccp Interference In The 2020 Election?
Is it not the job of the US intelligence community to protect the integrity of US election infrastructure from cyber-savvy adversaries in communist stronghold Beijing?
Big media and Democrats were still feigning obsession with so-called Russian election meddling and the false narrative that Trump was a Russian agent.
The Democrats were utterly disinterested, or actively killed stories, regarding Chinese meddling in the 2020 U.S. election.
CNN’s Jim Sciutto, former chief of staff and senior advisor to President Obama’s U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI General Counsel and former Twitter Deputy General Counsel James Baker, Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper
Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” that held explosive evidence of the Biden family’s dirty business dealings with communist Chinese enterprises were also actively buried and suppressed.
51 Intelligence professionals signed a letter falsely claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation.
It appears anything but a coincidence that Ratcliff and Zulauf waited until — of all days — January 7, 2021, one day after the January 6th protests at the U.S. Capitol that the FBI, Democrats, and legacy media quickly labeled an ‘insurrection,’ to report to Congress their findings that the anti-Trump US intelligence community operatives hid intelligence showing that China interfered in the 2020 election.
The January 6 ‘fog of war’ and the accompanying wall-to-wall media coverage of the so-called ‘insurrection’ was the perfect coverup for the REAL INSURRECTION, the Deep State’s collusion with the CCP to stage a coup and steal the 2020 US Election from President Trump and install CCP-compromised Joe Biden, father of CCP agent Hunter Biden, and to cover up HAMMER and SCORECARD. Link to HAMMER SCORECARD Twitter story
The FBI and CIA’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) operation to use Twitter to censor The American Report’s exposes about HAMMER and SCORECARD and Chinese interference in the 2020 U.S. election, acted as a disinformation and censorship force multiplier amid the chaos unleashed by the government’s J6 operation.
The FBI/CIA/FITF Twitter censorship operation also involved former FBI General Counsel James Baker. Baker became Twitter’s deputy general counsel several months ahead of the 2020 election after helping FBI Director James Comey bury 47 hard drives of HAMMER evidence provided to the FBI by CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery.
In the background of this engineered political and media chaos that divided the Republic, all roads lead to James Clapper, President Obama’s former Director of Intelligence.
According to Montgomery, Clapper and John Brennan commandeered THE HAMMER and THE HAMMER was relocated to Fort Washington, Maryland in February, 2009, shortly after Obama’s inauguration. Where it avoided 17 echelons of sign offs and safeguards
Montgomery also claims that he was compelled to turn over to Comey the SCORECARD source code, which he embedded with a unique digital signature, and that the very same SCORECARD source code later emerged in China.
Clapper and Obama’s former CIA Director John Brennan were prominent promoters of the hoax Trump Russian collusion conspiracy that led to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that spectacularly failed to prove that Trump was ever working with the Kremlin as a Russian agent.
DNI James Clapper Appointed The First-ever ODNI Chair, Barry A. Zulauf, Who Later Became IC Analytic Ombudsman, Office of the Director of National Intelligence; Zulauf Is A Soviet Specialist Who Worked In US Naval Intelligence As A Civilian And As A Naval Officer
US Navy Officer Barry Zulauf, Barry Zulauf At ODNI, DNI James Clapper
According to his biography, Dr. Barry A. Zulauf, IC Analytic Ombudsman, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, “graduated from Indiana University in the late 1980s as a newly minted Soviet specialist.”
Dr. Zulauf stated:
I started in Naval Intelligence as a civilian analyst in 1988. After a while, I started working for the head of Naval Intelligence, Rear Admiral Tom Brooks. He thought I should know what the Navy was like from the inside, so he arranged for me to get a commission as an intelligence officer. I went through all kinds of training, including on how to design a ‘strike package’ for Navy fighter airplanes. Later training involved how to keep track of the Soviet Navy, how to exploit captured Russian language documents, and how to understand Soviet naval strategy and tactics. I served on a variety of surface ships in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Arctic – including several ship visits to the Soviet Union as the Cold War was winding down.
According to Dr. Zulauf’s biography:
Starting in 1986, he worked as a Soviet defense industry analyst on contract for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) where he analyzed Soviet Navy electronic warfare and naval strategy for naval intelligence. He then worked for two years as a military assistant to the chairman of a House Armed Services subcommittee before moving over to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 1996 in Congressional Affairs, and then to the Intelligence Division. He created one of the 17-member agencies of the intelligence community, the DEA’s Office of National Security Intelligence in 2006 before joining the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in 2009.
According to Dr. Zulauf’s LinkedIn profile, he was “Director and Senior Faculty Member, former National Intelligence University (then part of ODNI), Office of the Director of National Intelligence, from November 2009 to December 2010.
Also according to Dr. Zulauf’s LinkedIn profile, Zulauf was the Office of the Director of National Intelligence Char, appointed by DNI James Clapper:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence Chair
Apr 2012 – Jun 20153 years 3 months
DIA, Joint Base Bolling-Anacostia, Washington, DC.
As first-ever ODNI Chair, appointed by DNI James Clapper, Principal Deputy DNI Stephanie O’Sullivan, and NIU President David Ellison, I develop and deliver graduate curriculum on the role of the DNI, how the Intelligence Community is integrated, and also on sharing national intelligence between Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community.
The distance from Joint Base Bolling-Anacostia to Fort Washington, Maryland, is a short 12.5 miles, a 24 minute drive.
There exists a Twitter account under the name Barry Zulauf, with a Twitter Handle @DrZulauf. It is unclear if that Twitter account belongs to Dr. Barry Zulauf. Although Twitter shows the account joined in July 2009, the oldest available tweet is from January 2022.
FBI’s FITF, Working With CIA, Censored The American Report’s October 31, 2020 Report On The 2020 Election And CIA Contractor-Turned-Whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, THE HAMMER And SCORECARD, According To Matt Taibbi TWITTER FILES
According to CIA contractor-turned-whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, THE HAMMER was relocated to Fort Washington and began operating at Fort Washington in February, 2009. Montgomery also claims that John Brennan and James Clapper commandeered THE HAMMER. Although Fort Washington appeared to be a U.S. Navy facility, it was actually the head of CIA cyber operations, according to the Whistleblower Tapes that were released from U.S. District Judge Snow’s courtroom in 2015.
James Clapper Hails From And Married Into Multigenerational Families Of SIGINT Professionals From US Army Signals Intelligence And It’s Descendant The NSA
Several members of James Clapper’s family have had careers in signals intelligence.
Clapper’s father Col. James R. Clapper Sr. USAF (Ret.), his wife Susan Terry Clapper, and his father-in-law Lawrence D. Terry, all had careers in signals intelligence.
Clapper Sheltered Cuban Communist Spy Who Penetrated DIA: Report
James Clapper was the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director from November 1991 to August 1995.
Ana Belen Montes joined the DIA in September 1985 and was arrested for espionage on September 21, 2001. Montes was spying for Cuba.
According to a report by J. Michael Waller published at the Center for Security Policy in November 2020, then removed several hours later:
The DGI [Cuba’s General Intelligence Directorate] penetrated the heart of American military intelligence, with Ana Belen Montes – whom CNN called “the most dangerous US spy you’ve never heard of” – burrowed into the Defense Intelligence Agency for more than 15 years. She was arrested almost 20 years ago.
Does anyone think she’s the only Cuban spy to infiltrate the US intelligence community?
This isn’t fringe stuff any more. Joe Biden’s seniormost intelligence backer, James Clapper, had sheltered Montes when he ran the DIA. (This is the same Jim Clapper who surreptitiously got passes for Russia’s top GRU military intelligence officers to roam the Pentagon, but accused Donald Trump of colluding with Moscow.)
Over the summer, Joe Biden considered Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) as a semifinalist to run with him as vice president. Bass is considered a Cuban asset. For years she has helped the Cuban regime with its DGI-controlled Venceremos Brigade operation. As early as 1975, the Communist Party USA described Bass as “a leader of the Venceremos Brigade in Southern California.”
The fact that Biden would even consider a trusted Venceremos Brigade veteran to serve as his running mate shows how deeply Cuba’s political warfare has advanced into the American system. And it shows the willingness of Biden and his political allies to consider Cuban assets to win an election.
SOFREP reported in a May 30, 2017 article titled “Remembering Greg Fronius, KIA in El Salvador 31 March 1987”:
Thirty years ago today on March 31, 1987, Special Forces SSG Greg Fronius was killed in action in El Paraiso, El Salvador when guerrilla forces from the FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) attacked the Salvadoran base during an early morning attack…
…The 4th Brigade Headquarters in El Paraiso, 36 miles north of the capital of San Salvador had two American advisors assigned but at the time of the attack, Fronius was alone, his counterpart was in the capital getting some equipment and was scheduled to fly out in a helicopter the next day.
The guerrillas launched a coordinated assault beginning at 2 a.m. on the morning of March 31. They had concentrated mortar and rocket fire that targeted the major headquarters buildings. It was later learned that they were helped by DIA agent and double agent spy Ana Montes. Montes was considered an up and coming agent for DIA but in reality, she had defected and was spying for Cuba.
She visited the El Paraiso base just weeks before the attack and debriefed the Americans there, and later fed the information directly to her Cuban handlers who passed it on to the FMLN. She was directly implicated in Fronius’ death. She was not caught until her arrest in September 2001 just after the attacks of 9/11. She was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2002…
…Just three months after Fronius’ death, Special Forces would lose another warrior. SSG Tim Hodge was wounded by a gunshot in the neck and needed immediate exfil to a hospital. The helicopter coming for him crashed in bad weather killing:

Canadian MPs Investigating Canadian Intel Reports That China Interfered In Canada’s 2019 Election
Canada’s National Post Reported in a November 14, 2022 article titled “Alarming’: MPs to investigate China’s alleged 2019 election interference”:
MPs decided Monday to look into recent reports that China interfered in the 2019 Canadian election, as it remained unclear whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would raise the issue directly with the Chinese president.
The House of Commons procedure and house affairs committee voted Monday to call as witnesses Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, the prime minister’s national security adviser and officials from Elections Canada and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
Global News first reported on Nov. 7 that intelligence officials had briefed the prime minister on a campaign of foreign interference from China, including funding at least 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election.
China also placed agents into MPs’ offices, tried to corrupt former Canadian officials, and put in place “aggressive campaigns” against politicians viewed as contrary to its interests, according to the Global News story. Trudeau and unidentified cabinet members were first briefed in January, Global said…
…On Monday, Conservative MP Michael Cooper introduced a motion on the new revelations at the House committee, which already has a more general study on foreign election interference underway. Cooper said “the briefings from CSIS are alarming in terms of the sophisticated campaign by the Chinese Communist regime to subvert Canadian democracy.”
Canadian Report: CCP Ran Election Interference Operations Out Of China’s Toronto Consulate, Financed Recruiting Operations
Canada’s Global News reported in a December 21, 2022 article titled “Exclusive: 2020 intel warned Trudeau government that China’s interference in Canadian elections will likely be ‘pervasive’”:
An unredacted 2020 national security document alleges that Beijing used an extensive network of community groups to conceal the flow of funds between Chinese officials and Canadian members of an election interference network, all in an effort to advance its own political agenda in the 2019 federal contest.
The Privy Council Office document, which Global News has reviewed, is a distillation of sensitive investigations and was published in February 2020, around four months after the 2019 election. It warned that influence operations such as these were “likely to be more persistent and pervasive in future elections.”
According to the document, community leaders and “co-opted” political staffers “under broad guidance” from the Toronto consulate serve as intermediaries between Chinese officials and the politicians Beijing was seeking to influence.
The outcome of these operations, the document says, is that “staff of targeted politicians provide advice on China-related issues” to the Chinese consulate.
Other network operators handle financing and attempt to recruit Canadian politicians, the document said.
