From the position of the intelligence community (IC) Joe Biden is less important than their priority of ensuring President Trump does not win reelection.
It is an existential and/or zero-sum battle from the standpoint of the IC. If Trump wins, they could be destroyed; ergo, Biden or someone, anyone, must defeat Trump.
The IC doesn’t care who removes the threat Trump represents – that’s the “strongest path forward” part; however, Trump must be defeated.
Warner says Biden must take a meeting with the IC “broader group of voices,” and listen to them tell Biden -in person- what the real priority is.
The IC is not going to be ignored, so sayeth Mark Warner.
Proposal circulating for Biden to exit and launch 'blitz primary'

US President Joe Biden recently faced pressure to exit the 2024 race following a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump. A proposal authored by Georgetown University law professor Rosa Brooks and Democratic donor Ted Dintersmith suggests an expedited Democratic primary to choose a new nominee before the August convention.
The proposal outlines steps for Biden to announce his exit in mid-July and for prospective candidates to submit bids for a blitz primary. This primary would involve social media campaigns and forums moderated by celebrities to engage voters. The final nominee would be chosen at the Democratic National Convention.
While the proposal has received positive feedback from Democrats, including donors and campaign officials, the Biden campaign has not commented on it. Brooks and Dintersmith acknowledge that the plan may be ambitious but believe it could lift America from its current state.
Despite initial skepticism, many are beginning to see the proposal as viable. The authors emphasize that the plan is a living document and subject to change based on feedback. While the likelihood of the proposal being executed remains unclear, the positive reactions it has received indicate a growing interest in the idea.
Overall, the proposal presents a potential solution to concerns about Biden's ability to defeat Trump in the 2024 election. It highlights the desire for a more engaging and inclusive primary process, appealing to a wide range of Democrats who are eager for change.

Biden’s final decision will be based quid pro quo, pre-emptive pardons for himself and virtually his entire family.
Finding a new candidate to replace Joe Biden is the easy part. Getting him to resign or drop out of the race without triggering a political firestorm will prove to be far more difficult. Despite reports to the contrary, the Democrat establishment is not reluctant to nominate Kamala Harris in all her bubbleheaded incompetence. Their problem is what to do with an incumbent who does not give a damn about the future of the party or, more importantly, the country.
In all likelihood, the Democrat elites and Biden family will settle for an extremely lucrative arrangement that allows Joe to drop out of the race and remain in office in exchange for waiting until after November 5, 2024 to issue pre-emptive pardons.
The Democrats are certain that once Joe is out of the race he will no longer be the center of attention in the campaign. However, if Trump and the Republican Party consistently expose the specter of pre-emptive pardons and continuously and plausibly ask, based on the Biden family history, what deal did the Democrats agree to get him drop out of the race, then, rather than a new Democrat nominee being the focus of the race, a venal, corrupt, and exposed Joe Biden will remain the center of attention in the campaign.

They realize they can't even cheat Biden thru a second time.

This is called "the tail wagging the dog". But, one must realise that putting the emphasis on the "intelligence community" is totally the wrong impression. It is not the community it's certain people in that community and it's these manipulators/blackmailers/traitors to democracy that need weeding out of the system.

The IC policy is clear. It's Paramount that puppet leaders be in all high government positions. Looks like Schumer as Majority Leader has appointed Warner as the IC SPOX 😀

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-NY, walked back his call for President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race on Tuesday.
Nadler had been among the most prominent Democrats to privately break off from Biden and call for his replacement.
"At this point he is the best candidate he is the only candidate," Nadler told reporters on Tuesday.

From the viewpoint of the IC, Trump is the manipulator/blackmailer/traitor that needs weeding out. I remember talking to some of my friends in the IC back in May of 2017 just after Trump invited Sergei Lavrov and Sergei Kislyak into the Oval Office and shared highly classified sensitive information with them that we got from Israel. Apparently, he did it impulsively, with no thought of what the consequences might be. One of my friends suggested that maybe the CIA would take him aside and show him videos of the Kennedy assassination as taken from the grassy knoll.
Ditto earlier in 2017 when he revealed to Philippines President Duterte that we had two nuclear submarines positioned off the coast of North Korea.
Ditto in 2018, when he released photos that showed the faces of Seal Team 5 members.
Ditto in 2019, when he Tweeted out photos of a failed Iranian rocket launch that revealed to the entire world how good our spy satellite resolution is.
Ditto in 2022 when it turned out that he deliberately took hundreds of classified documents with him as a civilian when he left the White House, refused to give them back, hid them, and obstructed justice in the process.
As a civilian and following normal rules, he could not get a security clearance now, and I would not be surprised if Biden refuses to give him one after he becomes the Republican nominee.
If he becomes POTUS again, intelligence sharing from our allies will dry up, since they won't trust either his competence or his motives.
At some point, it would not be surprising if they take some direct action, as a matter of self-preservation.
