The Myth That 17 Intelligence Agencies Were Involved In Russian Interference Analysis Will Not Die

"6 January 2017"
Just in case you don't remember: Trump was inagurated on the 20th of Jan, 2017. So, two weeks before it was too late: Obama holdovers drop a stink-bomb on the president elect. And we believe this is solid, why?
First of all, they lied that 17 agencies all came this conclusion. Second, the Obama administration politicized pretty much every agency in the federal government:

The FBI:

The EPA:
Etc. It is like, we all know that every agency was doing the bidding of the administration and yet we somehow have full-faith in a document dumped on us by the outgoing gang?
I'm not buying it.
Added: JustOneMinute gets it perfectly:
Try to set aside the cognitive dissonance of watching the Blame America First crowd pose as uber-hawks. Try to ignore the years of "Bush lied, people died" morphing into "The CIA said it so it must be so.
