While the release of two key — and contradictory — documents about Russia’s role in 2016 election interference grabbed the headlines from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s document drop last week, buried in the report is an eerie email exchange about the so-called “Steele dossier” and how it got into intelligence assessments.
Gabbard released a plethora of documents on Friday about how the intelligence community assessed Russian intervention in the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during Barack Obama’s last days in office.
An initial Presidential Daily Brief stated that there was minimal evidence of substantial intervention and that hacks “had no impact on recent U.S. election results.”
