The two emails they released say they relate to Russia hacking of DNC and a combined report to then President Obama about that — and have no mention or apparent relationship to any investigation of Trump or his involvement … Rogers primary concern is about having time to complete a thorough enough review to reach confidence in their assessments on the tight timeframe for submitting the report to Obama. It sounds like Rogers was trying to weasel out of NSA signing onto the report and Clapper was like nah, we are stuck with the timeline and may have to “compromise on our ‘normal’ modalities” given available time to all sign onto the report. Rogers is pressing for more time and direct comments on the final product and being told there is no more time and get as much down as you can to get on board for a classified report to POTUS [obvious context so POTUS has time to digest and respond to it before his term ends].

President Obama calls for intel report on Russian hacking​

The request is making headlines just days after lawmakers in both the House and Senate announced plans this week to launch similar probes into the 2016 election.

Facing a Russian Cyber Attack, Obama Officials Struggled To Respond​



“… In December, the president ordered the expulsion of 35 suspected Russian intelligence operatives from the United States and sanctions on Russian intelligence services. The following month, the intelligence community released a declassified report concluding that Putin had ordered “an influence campaign” designed to “undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.”

Clapper said he considered those actions as just a first step.

“One of the reasons why President Obama tasked us to do our assessment, and to have it out before the end of his term, was he wanted to be able to hand that over to not only the Congress, but to the next administration, as a basis for further action,” he said.

Under pressure from Congress, Trump signed a law in August that would implement sanctions on Russia for meddling in the election. The law would sanction individuals that engage in significant business with Russia’s defense and intelligence sectors. But the administration missed its Oct 1. deadline to implement the sanctions and only at the end of October did it send Congress a list of Russia-connected entities to help determine sanctions.…”

Consistent with the concerns raised by Rogers in the email declassified by Gabbard and promoted by Trump, NSA signed onto the report with High Confidence as to the assessment that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 election but with Moderate Confidence regarding the assessment about Putin’s preference for Trump:

Setting aside the Gabbard/Trump allegations, reading the entire declassified version of the report, what jumps out at me is that they avoid describing their confidence in the assessment of Russian attempts to access local voting offices (second column page 3) — that part of the summary reads as particularly hazy compared to the rest.

Maybe they just didn’t have time to gather enough intel to say more or maybe their intel review was not as confident as some of the other analysis. 🧐

I'm actually impressed they're identifying documents that completely disprove everything Trump is whining about. They're obviously counting on MAGA's unwillingness, or inability, to read.
