Senior Officials generally do not overtly tell people what to find or what conclusion to draw, but none the less, the message gets conveyed in not so many words. A vague comment in a staff meeting get interpreted by the staff and the message gets passed down. But, you will never get an overt directive or told directly what they want to see.

And analysts are not going to admit they felt coerced for two reasons --
one is because they want to keep their jobs.
the other is that it leads to more direct questions about just exactly what was said and by whom, and how did you draw there inference. People are very, very careful about what they say to Congressional investigative committees, the IG, or any other group that looks into these matters.

I can't back this us by pointing to a "fact" but I can tell you I have BTDT. Never forget that sh*t rolls downhill. Ultimately, even Ollie North found that out.
