INSIGHT

Obama Meeting Shifted Russiagate Narrative

A December 9, 2016, Obama-led meeting changed the intelligence community's narrative on Russian election interference dramatically.
Before the meeting, intel assessments downplayed Russian influence, but afterwards they insisted Russia actively helped Trump.

INSIGHT

Intelligence community assessment was pre-decided before investigation started and leaked the same day.
This orchestrated leak sabotaged any possibility of a fair, evidence-based review of Russian election interference.

INSIGHT
