    A national security official I know and trust pushes back on the way the briefing/ODNI story is being told, and others with firsthand knowledge agree with his assessment.

    It would be like someone claiming the US interferes in the affairs of other countries. Completely preposterous. No evidence. Obviously just made up shit. Why would we do that???

    Interesting. When a Leftist says something that the right agrees with, all of sudden it's the truth.

    There is a lot of information missing both from the New York Times story and the companion piece in the Washington Post. For instance, there is no mention of what the evidence was. We don’t know which agencies concurred with the opinion. We don’t know their level of confidence in the assessment. We don’t even know how Pierson defended her presentation in the face of reported pushback by House Republicans.

    Russia is trying to interfere in our elections. So is China which has extensive investment in mainstream US media. We do the same.
    It’s the cost of business if you live in a nation where you actually vote in meaningful elections.
    The Russians having developed a working relationship with Trump should be viewed as a good thing.
    There is no evidence that he is as in thrall to Putin as was Obama (take a close look at Obama’s policies after he had “more flexibility”).
    There is a great deal of evidence that he’s quite willing to kill Russians if he’s crossed. They will learn to work with the next president, too, but stability and predictability in international affairs is important to nations.

    The New York Times, and its junior partner the Washington Post, are desperate for some kind of fake scandal to throw at President Trump since the last dozen or so have dried up and blown away.
    The formula of Russia + nebulous evidence + sources that may or may not exist is tried and true.
    But when you look inside the New York Times reporting you see hints that they knew exactly what Tapper just reported. For instance, this is how that story describes the briefer, compare it to the Tapper tweet:

    That intelligence official, Shelby Pierson, is an aide to Mr. Maguire who has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms.

    Tapper says everyone pushed back on the analysis, this is what the Washington Post says:

    Other people familiar with the briefing described it as a contentious re-litigating of a previous intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in 2016 to help Trump. Republican members asked why the Russians would want to help Trump when he has levied punishing sanctions on their country, and they challenged Pierson to back up her claim with evidence. It is unclear how she responded.

    It seems like the New York Times decided to frame it as Russia-likes-Trump both to set a narrative for the remainder of the election season and prepare the battlefield for the real prize which is the fight for the next DNI by making a case that Trump can’t be allowed to appoint his choice to that position.

    And it’s ironic as hell lol.

    Two of the bigger—and most effective, ‘election meddlers’ on the planet are the NYT and WashPo. They consistently put out anonymous-sourced stories that reflect negatively on Trump. The rest of the media picks it up and we’re off to the races—again.

    Only to find out later that the sources had their ‘facts’ wrong. Even if they bother with a retraction it’s too late, because the damage is done. What’s twisted about it was damage is exactly the point.

    The Russians hardly have the misinformation market cornered—their biggest competitors are in our own media.

    Well, there’s Russian intelligence and there’s the spin on the Russian intelligence.

    Which is exactly the problem with these anonymous leaks. It’s too easy for these jokers to go to the media with the part of the story that supports their agenda.

    yes the anonymous, or in this case it was the DNI basically spinning or lying depending on how you read it.
    But recall the ENTIRE Russian hoax was a pack of lies -even when the FBI knew Steele was BS

    Talk about a dirt campaign lol.

    But yeah, Trump is catching grief for appointing a loyalist over the DNI. Grenell is an intelligence outsider but apparently ‘not being part of the community’ is a good thing in this case.
