As it happens, a year BEFORE I did that work, the CIA and others in the IC released an assessment saying they believed Russia had aspired to help Trump win (among other things). The sitting CIA director is now retconning that conclusion. A tradecraft review of the assessment found it should have been a *moderate* confidence assessment -not high- but didn’t dispute the conclusion. Ratcliffe is spinning it as ‘destroying the “Russiagate hoax”’ anyway. (Not sure what the term means now)
