‘Tradecraft failings': CIA's conclusion that Putin interfered in election to help Trump was flawed
The conclusion was written by the CIA then under the direction of Obama loyalist John O. Brennan. The report said the CIA’s Putin-Trump analysis violated standards for analyzing intelligence products and noted that one guideline is to "be independent of political considerations." It said the CIA’s draft section on Mr. Putin’s intentions lacked vigorous internal debate because it was restricted to an "unusually constrained review" by other agencies. The findings are contained in the Republican majority report of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence investigation into 2016 Russian election meddling. The intelligence agencies’ January 2017 Putin-Trump conclusion produced wide-ranging political ramifications. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-05-08 |
