.FrankFigliuzzi1: A new watchdog report shows just how bad another Trump term would be.
The Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security says DHS diluted and delayed a 2020 intelligence report of Russia’s plans to cast doubts on candidate Joe Biden’s health.A recent Office of Inspector General report from the Department of Homeland Security reads like a Charles Dickens novel in that it helps us to see the ghosts of Trump's past, present and future, each one bringing bad tidings.
Prompted in part by that high-level whistleblower’s assertions, the OIG investigated whether then acting Secretary Chad Wolf and his leadership team properly handled the drafting, approval and dissemination of a report revealing that Russia’s government had a propaganda strategy to denigrate candidate Biden’s health. The report found that their treatment of the intelligence and analysis report was anything but proper under the standards of the intelligence community.
The OIG identified three significant problems. First, it cited DHS for altering the scope of its intelligence reporting for reasons that “appear to be based in part on political considerations.” Second, the OIG concluded that Wolf “participated in the review process multiple times despite lacking any formal role in reviewing product.” Third, it determined that “delays and deviations put I&A at risk of creating a perception of politicization.
