An assessment is just an amalgamation of what is known and someone makes a judgement then as to what is presented to the NSC, President etc.
There’s very little in the intel world that is hard fact which is why analysts rate what is known with varying levels of "confidence.
No matter which party is in power there’s a lot of politics and agenda involved with the final product we see or what is leaked.

It makes it neither correct nor incorrect. It makes it so that it can’t be verified or disputed publicly.
lol… intrgrity.
your sainted democrats led by obama spied on the gop candidate and used a collusion hoax to justify it. Nixon didn’t do anything that corrupt. Why didn’t he go public? Because they all thought hillary would win and the whole thing could be kept secret thereby getting away with it. by far, the most corrupt political act by any administration in history.

Speaking of 2016, see the thread I’m about to start.
Can’t be verified or disputed publicly??? You seem to be trying to dispute it…

Dispute what? Only that there has been no evidence of specific facts. That is not disputable.
I have not said Russia is not doing something, I am saying we have not been told what they are supposed to be doing and how this is known.
If someone tells me they have a great secret but they can’t give me details, I can’t really deny that they have a great secret. I just don’t know, now do I?
Unless you have access to the raw data you can neither confirm nor refute the assessment.
Well that was a fact-free word salad, thoroughly debunked by the DOJ. Sorry, the Deep State DOJ.
Obama didn’t publicize the nascent investigation of Trump’s campaign for the same reason the DOJ is VERY careful about investigations in an election year: to avoid putting a finger on the scale. Another decades-long policy that Forrest will ■■■■ on before election day.
■■■■■■■■■ he said nothing to hide what they were doing,
debunked? that’s funny. i love the way you libs just declare everything “debunked”.

Good grief. This in a thread about the illegal and politically based use of leaked classified intelligence information to affect the Democrat primaries against Sanders and the general election against Trump.

So, Obama states his reasoning (granted, after the fact) about not revealing the investigation, and that has to be ■■■■■■■■■ because reasons.
Barr says Trump had no influence on the decision about Stone (granted, after the fact), and you swallow it whole, because…reasons?
No it wasn’t. By any definition they spied on the Trump campaign and launched a counter intelligence operation against them while protecting Hillary’s campaign with a defensive briefing.

Sure if you ignore FBI New York field office feeding Rudy info about hillary forcing Comey to reopen her case 2 weeks before the election…
But let’s go with your conspiracy…its dumber
the russians are working to get bernie nominated… well duh, anybody who didn’t think that before could be classified as having some leaky intelligence to begin with.

You fabricate a conspiracy theory then complain about conspiracy theories.
Hilarious.

"On Friday, Trump’s campaign spokesman, Tim Murtaugh, tweeted: “We condemn and reject foreign interference in American elections in any form.”
lol, i don’t believe obama because its pretty much proven that they lied to a court to obtain warrants using information they paid for and knew was fake russian intelligence to illegally spy on trumps campaign. they knew there was never any collusion, because they made the whole damn thing up. seems to be something anyone with common sense would know they would want to hide, and we still wouldn’t know about it if hillary had won.
never known barr to lie… even so, wouldn’t be anything unlawful if trump did ask him. so what difference would it make if he did?

One of his first high-profile acts was the lie that Mueller’s office had no problem with his “summary” of the report, prompting Mueller to release the letter he had written to express the problems.
Face it - Trump supporters will profess to believe anything he or his lackeys say, because they think his agenda is in their best interest.
