DHS has delayed distribution of an intel report describing election interference by foreign powers seeking to raise doubts about the health of presidential candidates, because it 'lacked the necessary context and evidence,' a DHS spokesperson asserts.
The spokesman noted that"these quality concerns in the work process and tradecraft" of the DHS intelligence office"were also at issue last month" when Acting Secretary Chad Wolf fired the leadership of the office after revelations that the office had been gathering intelligence on journalists.
The DHS intelligence office is frequently criticized inside the intelligence community over what many professionals see as substandard or thinly-sourced analytical work. Nonetheless, the decision to sit on an intelligence report describing Russian disinformation is likely to be met with skepticism, given President Donald Trump's tendency to dispute or downplay Russia's ongoing efforts to manipulate American public opinion.
Bates argued that the Russian narrative"aligns with Trump's own constantly backfiring attacks,"seeking to raise questions about. And why would he do this? Because Russia and the Trump campaign are speaking from the same script of smears and lies." Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh told NBC News that"President Trump will beat Joe Biden fair and square and“There’s no question that the President has been tougher on Russia than any president before him, imposing sanctions and expelling diplomats, in contrast to the Obama-Biden Administration, which choked in the face of Russian interference.”Ken Dilanian is a correspondent covering intelligence and national security for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
