For years, the Obama administration has claimed that they were completely hands off regarding the Trump-Russia investigation.
It involves a 2017 Washington Post article, which was full of anonymous sources that were obviously former Obama officials, trying to spin a narrative that Obama took Russia seriously in 2016.
The Washington Post was of course happy to play along, as they are routinely used as stenographers for the Obama administration and FBI officials trying to protect themselves.
Details of the second, less-discussed investigation were leaked by senior Obama Administration officials for a June 2017 Washington Post story, "Obama's secret struggle to punish Russia for Putin's election assault." That story hasn't received anywhere near the attention it deserves.
Crossfire Hurricane began on July 31st. Barack Obama was briefed on the "Intelligence bombshell" in early August, meaning days later.
What you see in the original Post article is Obama wanting to have it both ways.
In the end, partisan actors, including Obama and his closest officials, were so desperate to go after Trump and prevent his election that they happily fell for a Russian disinformation campaign in the process.
