The Times explains that the Obama operatives deliberately attempted to keep the information at "relatively low classification level" by processing the raw intelligence into analyses designed to have "as wide a readership as possible." Some of those analyses, the Times notes, were even sent to European allies, apparently with the intent of poisoning the waters for Trump internationally before he took office:
As Inauguration Day approached, Obama White House officials grew convinced that the intelligence was damning and that they needed to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see it, even if people without security clearances could not. Some officials began asking specific questions at intelligence briefings, knowing the answers would be archived and could be easily unearthed by investigators — including the Senate Intelligence Committee, which in early January announced an inquiry into Russian efforts to influence the election.
At intelligence agencies, there was a push to process as much raw intelligence as possible into analyses, and to keep the reports at a relatively low classification level to ensure as wide a readership as possible across the government — and, in some cases, among European allies. This allowed the upload of as much intelligence as possible to Intellipedia, a secret wiki used by American analysts to share information.
But as the Times admits — though buried deep in the piece — the reality is that all of the information obtained so far shows no evidence of any wrongdoing on anyone from Team Trump.
