Number one priority
6 январе 2017 руководители американской разведки и директор ФБР приехали в Нью-Йорк, чтобы провести в Trump Tower брифинг вновь избранного президента Трампа и показать ему секретную информацию о российском вмешательстве в выборы. Новые детали об этой встрече сообщает New York Times:
Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.
The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
Mr. Trump sounded grudgingly convinced, according to several people who attended the intelligence briefing. But ever since, Mr. Trump has tried to cloud the very clear findings that he received on Jan. 6, 2017, which his own intelligence leaders have unanimously endorsed.

После встречи публичный доклад разведки был опубликован. Сотрудники Трампа выпустили заявление от его имени:
“While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. <...>
Whether it is our government, organizations, associations or businesses we need to aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks. I will appoint a team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office. The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm. Two weeks from today I will take the oath of office and America’s safety and security will be my number one priority.”

Естественно, обещание про "team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office" оказалось пустышкой. На уровне Белого дома никаких директив до сих пор не поступало, a АНБ приходится заботиться про "number one priority" ("America’s safety and security") и бороться с хакерскими атаками своими силами.
The head of the nation’s largest electronic spy agency and the military’s cyberwarfare arm has directed the two organizations to coordinate actions to counter potential Russian interference in the 2018 midterm elections.
The move, announced to staff at the National Security Agency last week by NSA Director Paul Nakasone, is an attempt to maximize the efforts of the two groups and comes as President Trump in Helsinki on Monday said Russian President Vladimir Putin was “extremely strong and powerful” in denying Russian involvement in the presidential election two years ago.
It is the latest initiative by national security agencies to push back against Russian aggression in the absence of direct guidance from the White House on the issue.

До того, как он услышал брифинг спецслужб 6 января 2017, Трамп позвонил в New York Times и впервые употребил выражение "political witch hunt" и неуклюжую попытку вотэбаутизма. Интервью не было полностью опубликовано.
“China, relatively recently, hacked 20 million government names,” he said, referring to the breach of computers at the Office of Personnel Management in late 2014 and early 2015. “How come nobody even talks about that? This is a political witch hunt.”

Через пару дней это же выражение употребит Дмитрий Песков.
In his comments on Monday, Mr Peskov said Russia "categorically denied that Moscow had been involved in any hacking attacks".
"Groundless accusations which are not supported by anything are being rehearsed in an amateurish, unprofessional way. We don't know what information they are actually relying on."
The claims amounted to a "witch-hunt", he added.

На следующее утро после брифинга Трамп напишет знаменитый твит про good thing, not a bad thing.
Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only "stupid" people, or fools, would think that it is bad! We.....

Вечером того же дня он внезапно вспомнил про Терезу Мэй и Британию.
I look very much forward to meeting Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington in the Spring. Britain, a longtime U.S. ally, is very special!

Было ли это связано с мыслями про досье Стила? Кристофер Стил ныне числится среди врагов, до которых Путин пытается дотянуться с помощью Трампа.
Важно, что наконец состоялась полноформатная встреча, позволяющая поговорить напрямую. И она была в целом успешной, привела к полезным договорённостям.
