Well unless proven otherwise I'd just assume it wasn't meant to be particularly political/strategic and leave it at that. The only potential "anti-Trump move"

Well unless proven otherwise I'd just assume it wasn't meant to be particularly political/strategic and leave it at that. The only potential "anti-Trump move" angle I can see is it directly empowers the intelligence community only. So if Obama is counting on a continued strained relationship between the Trump administration and the intelligence community insiders then this could be it. But I wouldn't personally believe it to be too likely.
