The ONA deliberately downplayed threats in the Obama years. Their intel was worthless. The pentagon did their own. ONA didn’t like the competition, and so there was a turf battle in the late summer/early fall 2016
Remember the name James Baker.
he was named director of the ONA
he was named director of the ONA
Baker argued against the Pentagon making their own net assessments. He argued for ONAs expertise. Imagine.
I want you to remember that. He argued that only ONA was expert enough to do a net assessment

An example of the ONAs unique expertise, is claiming that climate change is the most serious national security challenge.
let me repeat
ONA says climate change is our most serious national security challenge

Not everyone bought into the ONA received wisdom, the Obama dogma. They insisted intel be current, useful, relevant and not just aspirational

Trump choosing Flynn posed an existential threat to the ONA and they knew it
its no surprise the op against Flynn was run out of the ONA via Halper

And they did.
Halper was dispatched, likely Woolsey was dispatched, and eventually, on 13 Feb 2017, Flynn was dispatched.
Flynn was fired from the White House after a classified call was illegally leaked, setting an FBI process crime trap.

as the FBI and DOJ and SC Mueller set about destroying Gen Flynn’s life, the perfidy & subversiveness of the ONA staff continued. They were hell bent on undermining the duly elected president of the United States & his foreign policy goals.
most of all, ONA resisted all reform

After Trump was elected Adam Lovinger, a pentagon analyst, was assigned to the ONA. He openly questioned why the ONA was giving massive contracts to politically connected private contractors
Lovinger became the subject of several ONA investigations. Those who investigated him all got promotions & plum assignments. And they pulled his security clearance, rendering Lovinger unemployable in his field https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/24/pentagon-whistleblower-claims-dod-official-awarded-investigators-of-his-case-with-military-medals/">https://dailycaller.com/2018/08/2...
James Baker told investigators to pursue Lovinger, and rewarded them for it
Lovinger appealed the loss of his security clearance and lost.
then he filed a whistle blower complaint with the DoD IG https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/20/adam-lovinger-trump-supporter-stripped-pentagon-se/">https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019...
