“Why is it that this story is popping up at all the news sites like it’s new news? Is it all because of the NYT article? Or is there something more we should be seeing?”
Coming on the heels of the NY Times article, it strikes me that this is an attempt to attack the credibility of that article and, hence, the entire narrative that is being built up for Hillary to escape blame. Could be that some people inside the intelligence community have decided to begin selective leaks to damage Hillary. Damaging Obama is probably just useful collateral damage in their eyes.
‘Course this is pure speculation on my part.
I think there’s something to your speculation...
I’m also thinking we may get trickles of new information this year.
