First, Mr. Obama directed the director of national intelligence to put together a quick four-week intelligence community assessment that would elevate Moscow as the great election disruptor, with the implication that it was responsible for Mr. Trump’s 2016 election win. Mr. Obama’s order basically demanded a rigged intelligence community assessment, according to Ms. Gabbard’s argument. Mr. Obama did not ask whether Russia did it, but how.
Second, the Jan. 6, 2017, intelligence community assessment came with conclusions not universally supported by in-house intelligence professionals in 2016. Mr. Obama, DNI James R. Clapper, CIA Director John O. Brennan and FBI Director James B. Comey — all anti-Trump activists — exerted great influence, Ms. Gabbard said.
