Newly declassified evidence casts doubt on Obama intel assessment about Russia’s election intentions

CIA’s former Moscow station chief says 2017 conclusion that Russia tried to elect Trump not supported by evidence.

Just The News – Newly declassified evidence suggesting Russia spread false but derogatory information about President Trump four years ago is calling into question the Obama administration’s intelligence assessment that Moscow was trying to help the Republican win the 2016 election.

The evidence declassified over the last two weeks by Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell and Attorney General William Barr revealed that Russia knew as early as July 2016 that British intelligence operative and FBI informer Christopher Steele was aiding an election year FBI probe of Trump.

The evidence also showed the FBI was repeatedly warned that Steele was susceptible to Russian disinformation and that U.S. intelligence concluded some of his Hillary Clinton-funded dossier’s claims about Trump were false information planted by Moscow’s intelligence services. MORE

  2. Trump Derangement Syndrome infected everyone in the Osmidgen Administration long before Donald J. Trump defeated their chosen candidate, President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton. I’ve heard that the only people who were not so deranged that they lost sight of the ultimate prize were the Macedonian Content Farmers, who got Trump elected.

  3. Do we really need to “declassify” docs to prove he and his admin were behind it?

    I don’t care if he took out a full page ad in the NYT and WaPo, stating, “yeah, I did it, now what’re you gonna do about it”?
    The onus is on hotair Barr, and short of teasing out “his concerns” in a few interviews, I don’t foresee him lifting a finger.

  4. Ditto the comments above.

    I don’t get the article at all. Old news. Guesses about Russia’s intentions (Russia didn’t have any. The dossier was made-up crap written by the Clintonistas, and a Russian connex was solely to pretend that it was “intel”). And Russia didn’t hack the DNC. What is with the regurgitated stuff and the disinformation?
