This all makes more sense now. Strozk and McCabe were ousted in the manner that they were because they were the only two people advocating for a true counterintelligence investigation - Rod Rosenstein is the person that limited Mueller's scope. The report and its conclusions were less than expected because they weren't actually allowed to do the investigation that was warranted.

While Trump fights with Fox News over comments he likely made regarding WWI veterans he's also dismissive or cautiously avoiding admitting Navalny was poisoned by Russia.

The big picture: U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Russia is actively seeking to denigrate Joe Biden to assist President Trump ahead of the election.

The whistleblower, former intelligence and analysis acting undersecretary Brian Murphy, alleges that he was told to instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran, which he did not believe were on par with the actions of Russia.
Murphy alleges that he was told by acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf that the instructions came specifically from White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien.
The whistleblower complaint also alleges that acting DHS deputy secretary Ken Cuccinelli directed Murphy to modify a Homeland Threat Assessment report to make the threat of white supremacist violence "appear less severe."
