A Congressional committee has found that CENTCOM, the US Middle Eastern Command, deliberately distorted intelligence reports in order to make the ISIS threat look not as severe as it was, in order to suit the political narrative back home:
Hard-hitting report accuses CENTCOM of manipulating ISIS intelligence - CBS News
Republicans and Democrats Agree: CENTCOM Cooked ISIS War Intel - The Daily Beast
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-overly-upbeat-intelligence-on-islamic-state/
The Left-leaning Democrat-biased media are of course minimizing their coverage of damning revelations like this, choosing to instead pursue fault-finding attacks on Trump's speeches while simultaneously faulting Trump for allegedly preventing them from covering these stories of concern because of his "gaffes". Talk about Straw Man tactics.

"While the report found intelligence was in fact manipulated by CENTCOM, the task force found no evidence that orders for those changes came from the White House."
The question is why would CENTCOM manipulate the evidence?

Didn't you read the links in your OP?
To please Obama and keep their jobs.
The Obama Whitehouse may not have given specific orders - there is as yet no evidence to show this - however the complaints from analysts were that they were being pressured to conform to an expected narrative.
Isis is a JV team. ISIS was losing power. Nothing to see here. The administration said so. Move on. I guess this is all in good hands.
I forgot the usual argument, "FAUX NEWS"!!!!!

.....the complaints from analysts were that they were being pressured to conform to an expected narrative.
What? ISIS a JV team? Was ISIS a JV team in Paris?
Your hairsplitting aside - the fact is that any of that qualifies as wrongdoing, no matter how you slice it.
Wrongdoing seems to be happening under this administration in very troubling ways that indicate a pattern. It's hard to compartmentalize the fact that Obama wants to play down the threat of ISIS and avoid acknowledging Islamic radicalism as a threat, while CENTCOM just happens to be coming out with reports that conform to that narrative. Coincidence? I think not.

Where did you read that?
Doesn't matter which media said it - what matters is that intel reports were being skewed, and that directive obviously had to come from somewhere higher up. The fact that a crime has been committed means somebody is guilty, and it's useless to pretend otherwise.
