Shortly after our stream ended, Congressman Crawford released additional information on the construction of their report which takes note of obstruction (and possible hacking):
For those who didn’t catch the stream, the newly released HPSCI report states John Brennan fought to include the dossier into the ICA, overruled senior CIA analysts who raised objections over substandard unverified intelligence being included, and misrepresented the intelligence, largely to force an unsupported narrative that Russia interfered to help Donald Trump.
One aspect of that assertion relied on a 6 word sentence fragment that was open to interpretation which came from a source/subsource with an anti-Trump bias and the intelligence community had no knowledge whether it was the subsource’s opinion or where and how the information was obtained. Part of the description of the source and subsource sound very similar to Christopher Steele and his reporting, but based on the context of the report which includes coverage of Steele, this is likely someone else.
MAGA is currently frothing over a criminal referral for President Obama referenced today by Tulsi Gabbard, which is currently unsupported based on the evidence in the public domain. We’ll remain critical of the narrative being pushed until they provide the evidence.
