In dramatic expansion of Russia probe, Senate investigators target CIA, State records
"Sens. Johnson and Grassley make sweeping documents requests of CIA, DNI and State in Russia probe."
"One of the most highly anticipated requests in the letters involved DNI John Ratcliffe, who was asked to declassify a lengthy report written by former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' staff highlighting major failures in the intelligence community's assessment about Russia's intentions in the 2016 election."
"The report is believed to highlight both spy tradecraft mistakes and dissension among CIA analysts over the Obama administration's conclusion that Russia's intention was to help Trump win and Hillary Clinton lose. Evidence has emerged since that conclusion was reached in January 2017 — before Trump took office — conflicting with the analysis. For instance, the CIA's warning to the FBI that Russians were feeding bogus dirt on Trump to Clinton's chief researcher cut against the conclusion."
