"President Barack Obama’s former aides reportedly hope to conceal rapidly unfolding revelations about the apparent conspiracy between Obama and his top intelligence chiefs to pin President Donald Trump to Russia from the wider American public, according to an NBC report.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified documents in recent days revealing the spun or manufactured intelligence undergirding a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment — directed by Obama and executed by his top intelligence officials, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — concluding that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to secure a win for Trump. The ICA touched off years of Russiagate media frenzy, in part by elevating the outlandish claims in the Steele dossier, an opposition research file funded by rival Hillary Clinton.
Now Obama’s allies hope the American public never learns the details, according to NBC, citing anonymous sources in the former president’s camp.
“The battle now is to play this even to make sure that thoughts don’t start to creep into more mainstream” audiences, a former Obama administration official told the outlet.
“This was treason,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “And we have all of the documents. And from what I — Tulsi told me, she’s got thousands of additional documents coming.”
The newly declassified documents did not make the front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post on July 24. The papers shared a 2018 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on Russian election interference and collusion with the Trump campaign that largely relied on anonymous sources. The Pulitzer Prize Board of Directors faces a libel lawsuit brought by Trump over the validity of that prize."
