Russiagate Drags On

For John, BLUF:  There is much we don't yet know about Federal Government efforts to subvert the 2016 Trump Campaign.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

U.S. Intel Gatekeeper Dragging Feet on Trump-Russia Files, Insiders Say

From Real Clear Investigations, by Reporter Paul Sperry, 28 August 2019.

Here is the lede plus one:

More than three months after President Trump granted his attorney general unprecedented power to declassify intelligence files, key U.S. intelligence agencies are still withholding documents related to the Trump-Russia affair, say people with direct knowledge of White House discussions on the subject.

The source of the logjam: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which Trump is in the process of shaking up after the resignations last month of its director, Dan Coats, and principal deputy, Sue Gordon.  “Establishment” officials in that agency are still dragging their feet, say the sources, who spoke on condition that they not be further identified.

That the larger Intelligence Community, including the FBI, is still stonewalling Investigations into Federal Government meddling in the 2016 Election should be disturbing to all Americans.
