据福克斯新闻数字频道消息人士证实，美国司法部（DOJ）已就詹姆斯·科米（James Comey）在前FBI局长在2017年关于俄罗斯干预选举的情报界评估（ICA）中所扮演的角色发出传票。
此前，福克斯新闻数字频道曾报道科米和前中央情报局（CIA）局长约翰·布伦南（John Brennan）正接受与该调查相关的刑事调查，此次传票标志着局势进一步升级。
当时消息人士称，调查正在审查与2017年评估报告的创建相关的潜在不当行为，以及向国会可能作的虚假陈述。
2017年ICA结论称俄罗斯试图影响2016年选举，但后来的审查发现该过程过于仓促，并存在”程序异常”。

一位了解此事的消息人士向福克斯新闻证实，传票是上周由佛罗里达州南区法院发出的，同时也与正在进行的对前CIA局长布伦南的调查有关。
福克斯新闻数字频道首先报道科米和布伦南正在接受联邦调查。
奥巴马政府文件显示：制造情报以编造2016年俄罗斯选举干预叙事
今年7月，福克斯新闻数字频道首次报道，中情局局长约翰·拉特克利夫（John Ratcliffe）向联邦调查局提交了一份针对布伦南的刑事转诊，原因是布伦南解密文件显示，尽管中情局内部达成共识认为该文件充满”网络谣言”，布伦南仍推动将声名狼藉的反特朗普” Steele档案”纳入2017年情报界评估（ICA）。
这一转诊是在拉特克利夫解密了一份关于2017年情报界评估（ICA）创建过程的”经验教训”审查之后进行的。2017年ICA指控俄罗斯试图影响2016年总统选举以帮助候选人特朗普。但审查发现，ICA的创建过程过于仓促，存在”程序异常”，且官员们偏离了情报标准。
审查还确定，”机构负责人决定将Steele档案纳入ICA，违反了基本的情报工作原则，并最终损害了关键判断的可信度。”
该档案是一份反特朗普文件，充满未经证实和完全不准确的说法，由Fusion GPS委托，由民主党总统候选人希拉里·克林顿的竞选团队和民主党全国委员会（DNC）支付费用。该档案已被广泛质疑。此次审查是职业中情局官员首次承认ICA撰写过程存在政治化问题，特别是奥巴马政府时期的政治任命人员。
解密文件进一步揭示，布伦南确实推动将该档案纳入2017年ICA。
联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔（Kash Patel）收到了刑事转诊，并对布伦南展开调查。
当时，帕特尔还对科米展开了刑事调查。

这些刑事调查的全部范围尚不清楚，但两名消息人士将联邦调查局对这两人互动的看法描述为”合谋”，这可能会开启一系列广泛的潜在起诉选项。
去年，福克斯新闻数字频道也曾独家报道，奥巴马政府”制造并将情报政治化”，以编造俄罗斯试图影响2016年总统选举的叙事，尽管情报界有相反信息。
福克斯新闻数字频道去年独家获得的解密文件显示，在2016年11月选举前的几个月里，情报界一直评估俄罗斯”可能并没有试图通过网络手段影响选举”。
克拉珀据称推动”妥协”正常步骤以仓促完成2017年ICA，尽管国家安全局局长表示关切
其中一个例子是2016年12月7日，选举几周后。当时国家情报局局长詹姆斯·克拉珀（James Clapper）的谈话要点称：”外国对手没有使用网络攻击选举基础设施来改变美国总统选举结果。”
福克斯新闻数字频道获得了一份由国土安全部准备的解密版总统每日简报（PDB），其中包含中央情报局、国防情报局、联邦调查局、国家安全局、国土安全部、国务院和公开来源的报告，日期为2016年12月8日，供奥巴马使用。
总统每日简报称：”我们评估俄罗斯和犯罪行为者没有通过对选举基础设施进行恶意网络活动来影响美国最近的选举结果。” “俄罗斯政府关联的行为者最有可能入侵了伊利诺伊州的选民登记数据库，并在其他州进行了同样的尝试但未成功。”
但简报称，这种努力”不太可能导致改变任何州的官方投票结果”。
“犯罪活动也未能达到改变选举结果所需的规模和复杂程度。”简报称。
简报指出，国家情报局局长办公室评估，任何俄罗斯活动”可能旨在造成心理影响，例如破坏选举过程和候选人的可信度。”
简报称，网络犯罪分子”试图窃取数据并通过针对选举基础设施来中断选举过程，但这些行动没有造成显著的破坏影响。”
福克斯新闻数字频道获得了联邦调查局就总统每日简报发出的解密但经过编辑的通信，称”在联邦调查局分享其’关切’之前，不应继续推进。”
这些通信显示，联邦调查局起草了对原始总统每日简报的”异议”。
2017年的情报报告得出结论称，俄罗斯试图影响2016年选举以支持唐纳德·特朗普，但后来的审查发现该过程存在缺陷，并包含了声名狼藉的材料，如反特朗普的Steele档案。官员们现在表示，该评估可能存在政治化，并被用来破坏特朗普的总统任期。（盖蒂图片社）
通信显示，简报原定于2016年12月9日发布，但后来的通信显示，国家情报局办公室”根据一些新的指导方针”决定”推迟发布”总统每日简报。
“它明天不会发布，可能要到下周才会发布。”国家情报局办公室总统每日简报副主任（姓名经过编辑）写道。
第二天，2016年12月9日，白宫 Situation Room 召开了一次会议，主题行开头为”敏感话题PC会议结论摘要（已编辑）”。
会议包括国家安全委员会高级官员、克拉珀、当时的中情局局长约翰·布伦南、当时的国家安全顾问苏珊·赖斯、当时的国务卿约翰·克里、当时的司法部长洛蕾塔·林奇、当时的联邦调查局副局长安德鲁·麦凯布等，讨论俄罗斯问题。
福克斯新闻数字频道获得的解密会议记录显示，与会者”同意建议制裁俄罗斯军事情报和外国情报链中负责网络行动的某些成员，以回应试图影响或干预美国选举的网络活动，如果此类活动符合行政命令的要求，即阻止从事网络活动的人员的财产。”
会议后，据国家情报局办公室称，克拉珀的执行助理向情报界领导人下达任务，要求他们根据”总统的要求”创建一份新的情报界评估（ICA），详细说明”莫斯科使用的工具和采取的行动以影响2016年选举”。
“国家情报局将领导这一工作，中情局、联邦调查局、国家安全局和国土安全部将参与。”记录中说。
随后，奥巴马政府官员”向媒体泄露虚假陈述”，声称”俄罗斯试图通过网络手段干预选举，如果不是积极影响，也会影响选举结果。”
到2017年1月6日，一份新的情报界评估（ICA）发布，据国家情报局办公室称，”直接与过去六个月中情报界的评估相矛盾。”
情报官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，ICA被”政治化”，因为它”压制了选举前后的情报，这些情报显示俄罗斯缺乏入侵2016年选举的意图和能力。”

官员们还表示，ICA”通过声称情报界没有对俄罗斯活动的’影响’进行评估来欺骗美国公众”，而实际上”情报界确实进行了影响评估。”
“未发布的12月PDB明确指出，俄罗斯’没有通过对选举的网络黑客攻击影响选举’，”一位官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
该官员还表示，ICA评估称”俄罗斯负责从民主党全国委员会（DNC）和民主党国会竞选委员会（DCCC）泄露数据”，但没有提到”联邦调查局和国家安全局此前对这一归因表示信心不足。”
官员们告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，新的评估”基于那些相关人员已知是伪造的信息，即Steele档案，或被视为不可信的信息。”
官员们表示，这些情报被”政治化”，然后”作为无数抹黑的基础，试图使特朗普总统的胜选、多年的穆勒调查、两次国会弹劾、高级官员被调查、逮捕和入狱、美俄紧张局势升级等，更甚于此。”

DOJ subpoenas Comey over role in 2017 Russia intelligence assessment | Fox News
Move marks escalation after prior criminal probe into Comey and Brennan tied to 2017 ICA

The Justice Department (DOJ) has subpoenaed former FBI Director James Comey over his role in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russian election interference, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The subpoena marks a new escalation after Fox News Digital previously reported that Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan were under criminal investigation related to the probe.
Sources at the time said the investigations were examining potential wrongdoing tied to the creation of the 2017 assessment and possible false statements to Congress.
The 2017 ICA concluded that Russia sought to influence the 2016 election, but a later review found the process was rushed and included “procedural anomalies.”

A well-placed source briefed on the matter confirmed to Fox News the subpoena was served last week from the Southern District of Florida and is also connected to the ongoing investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan.
Fox News Digital first reported that Comey and Brennan were under federal investigation.
OBAMA ADMIN ‘MANUFACTURED’ INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE 2016 RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTS SHOW
In July, Fox News Digital first reported that CIA Director John Ratcliffe sent a criminal referral for Brennan to the FBI after he declassified records revealing that Brennan did, in fact, push for the discredited anti-Trump dossier to be included in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment despite the CIA’s consensus that it was filled with “internet rumor.”

The referral came after Ratcliffe declassified a “lessons learned” review of the creation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). The 2017 ICA alleged Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential election to help candidate Trump. But the review found that the process of the ICA’s creation was rushed with “procedural anomalies” and that officials diverted from intelligence standards.
It also determined that the “decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment.”
The dossier was an anti-Trump document filled with unverified and wholly inaccurate claims that was commissioned by Fusion GPS and paid for by Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC. It has been widely discredited. The review marks the first time career CIA officials have acknowledged politicization of the process by which the ICA was written, particularly by Obama-era political appointees.
Records declassified as part of that review further revealed that Brennan did, in fact, push for the dossier to be included in the 2017 ICA.

The full scope of those criminal investigations is unclear, but two sources described the FBI’s view of the duo’s interactions as a “conspiracy,” which could open up a wide range of potential prosecutorial options.
Last year, Fox News Digital also exclusively reported that the Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence” to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise.
Declassified documents obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital last year revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was “probably not trying … to influence the election by using cyber means.”

One instance was on Dec. 7, 2016, weeks after the election. Then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s talking points stated, “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the U.S. presidential election outcome.”
Fox News Digital obtained a declassified copy of the Presidential Daily Brief, which was prepared by the Department of Homeland Security, with reporting from the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, FBI, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, State Department and open sources, for Obama, dated Dec. 8, 2016.
“We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,” the Presidential Daily Brief stated. “Russian Government-affiliated actors most likely compromised an Illinois voter registration database and unsuccessfully attempted the same in other states.”
But the brief stated that it was “highly unlikely” the effort “would have resulted in altering any state’s official vote result.”
“Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes,” it stated.
The brief noted that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence assessed that any Russian activities “probably were intended to cause psychological effects, such as undermining the credibility of the election process and candidates.”
The brief stated that cyber criminals “tried to steal data and to interrupt election processes by targeting election infrastructure, but these actions did not achieve a notable disruptive effect.”
Fox News Digital obtained declassified, but redacted, communications from the FBI on the Presidential Daily Brief, stating that it “should not go forward until the FBI” had shared its “concerns.”
Those communications revealed that the FBI drafted a “dissent” to the original Presidential Daily Brief.
The 2017 intelligence report concluded Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump, but later reviews found the process flawed and included discredited material like the anti-Trump Steele dossier.

The communications revealed that the brief was expected to be published Dec. 9, 2016, the next day, but later communications revealed that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, “based on some new guidance” decided to “push back publication” of the Presidential Daily Brief.
“It will not run tomorrow and is not likely to run until next week,” the deputy director of the Presidential Daily Brief at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, whose name is redacted, wrote.
The following day, Dec. 9, 2016, a meeting convened in the White House Situation Room, with the subject line starting, “Summary of Conclusions for PC Meeting on a Sensitive Topic (REDACTED.)”
The meeting included top officials in the National Security Council, Clapper, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, then-Secretary of State John Kerry, then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, among others, to discuss Russia.
The declassified meeting record, obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed that principals “agreed to recommend sanctioning of certain members of the Russian military intelligence and foreign intelligence chains of command responsible for cyber operations as a response to cyber activity that attempted to influence or interfere with U.S. elections, if such activity meets the requirements” from an executive order that demanded the blocking of property belonging to people engaged in cyber activities.
After the meeting, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Clapper’s executive assistant emailed intelligence community leaders tasking them to create a new intelligence community assessment “per the president’s request” that detailed the “tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 2016 election.”
“ODNI will lead this effort with participation from CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS,” the record states.
Later, Obama officials “leaked false statements to media outlets” claiming that “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”

By Jan. 6, 2017, a new Intelligence Community Assessment was released that, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, “directly contradicted the IC assessments that were made throughout the previous six months.”
Intelligence officials told Fox News Digital that the ICA was “politicized” because it “suppressed intelligence from before and after the election showing Russia lacked intent and capability to hack the 2016 election.”

Officials also said it deceived the American public “by claiming the IC made no assessment on the ‘impact’ of Russian activities,” when the intelligence community “did, in fact, assess for impact.”
“The unpublished December PDB stated clearly that Russia ‘did not impact’ the election through cyber hacks on the election,” an official told Fox News Digital.
The official also said that the ICA had assessed that “Russia was responsible for leaking data from the DNC and DCCC,” but while”failing to mention that FBI and NSA previously expressed low confidence in this attribution.”
Officials told Fox News Digital that the new assessment “was based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured, i.e., the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible.”
Officials said that the intelligence was “politicized” and then “used as the basis for countless smears seeking to delegitimize President Trump’s victory, the years-long Mueller investigation, two Congressional impeachments, high level officials being investigated, arrested, and thrown in jail, heightened US-Russia tensions, and more.”
Axios first reported the subpoena.
