Dan Coats actually said...

I want to make it very, very clear to all elements of the intelligence community that our job is to do our job, and our job is not to formulate policy, our job is not to influence intelligence in any way for political reasons; our job is to present the, as you said, truth to those who make policy decisions about where we go.

Context

Coats emphasizes the intelligence community's duty to provide unbiased assessments.
