→Intelligence Community Assessment
The ICA did not reflect the consensus of the [[intelligence community]]. Clapper broke with tradition and decided not to put the assessment out to all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies for review. Instead, he limited input to a couple dozen chosen analysts from just three agencies — the [[CIA]], [[NSA]] and [[FBI]]. Agencies with relevant expertise on [[Russia]], such as the [[Department of Homeland Security]], [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] and the [[State Department]]'s intelligence bureau, were excluded from the process.

Contravening intelligence community tradecraft standards that Clapper himself ordered in 2015, Congress found that the ICA did not properly describe the “quality and credibility of underlying sources” and was not “independent of political considerations."
