I've read about it or something similar in other reports: The administration puts pressure on them to produce certain results or to not produce others that conflict with their priorities or worldview. People hesitate to stick their finger in their boss's eye, and to produce work that will result in them being ridiculed, demoted, or simply excluded from the power structure, even though it's true. I remember some intelligence agency or agencies assessing that Iran had much less of a nuclear weapons program than generally thought. The report was dragged through the mud. Look up reports on past intelligence failures and you'll find similar issues.
