Team Obama did a couple things:
1. Wanted to present OPINION as FACT. They chose to coordinate release of that OPINION through various intelligence agencies.
2. Put a gag on the way the FBI director did his job.
The democrats are obsessed with keeping this story in the news, but none of this hurts Trump at all.
Even if they find photographs of Trump and Putin discussing election strategy in a bathtub it’s unclear to me that this is a crime.
Think of it this way. If Trump decided to issue OPINION as an official intelligence report to media, the left and the media (but I repeat myself) would go ape.
Also, if Team Trump refused to allow the FBI director to EXPRESS his opinion, the media would attack Trump as a dictator.
