Trump appears to be working in concert with Moscow on this. Russians ran a likely dangle op (http://nyti.ms/2BnTZYs ) to set up US intel, which assessed and rejected it. Having taken the op as far as it could, Moscow likely planted the story. Now, Trump echoes Moscow's narrative.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/962345433170415616 …

Are you saying that the Times in this case is an unwitting tool of Putin? Honest question. I worry about media being used by manipulators, not being savvy enough to see when they end up helping their foes. This is why some argue for "strategic silence." Your thoughts?
It’s an interesting question and something to consider. But the disinformation will come from Trump regardless. Both US intel and the Times did a good job seeing through this apparent Kremlin effort to deceive. Hopefully, the story helps more understand what we’re up against.
