Bipartisan Senate report says 2017 intel assessment about Russian interference and Trump was accurate

A bipartisan investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee has validated the January 2017 U.S. intelligence assessment describing Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election — including Russian efforts to help Donald Trump — describing it as accurate, thorough, and untainted by political bias.

"The Committee found no reason to dispute the Intelligence Community's conclusions," said Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C.

The CIA and other spy agencies produced the assessment during the final weeks of the Obama administration, and a version of it was made public on Jan. 6, 2017. It told a story of a Russian covert operation designed to undermine American democracy that evolved into an attempt to help Trump win.

Burr of course is a scoundrel and in a just world would be arrested and convicted for insider trading.

That bipartisan Senate panel was run by Warner, even though Burr was supposedly the Chairman.
Burr let Warner make him his bitch.
Burr is a Bush League Republican, same as his other NC Senator Tillis.
Bush League Republican Senators want to get back to importing cheap labor for their donors and turning the USA into North Mexico.

I don't think I can hate the Left anymore than I do. This is typical of their shennanigans. This report was initiated a year ago, and has just recently been pushed out. It wasn't given a thorough vetting, the Senate is too clubby for that.

Barr is a jackass and should be removed as soon as possible.

As I've been saying for three years, nothing short of indictments of high-level household-name people will ever change the narrative.

Trump's performance on Russia gate has breen a disaster, beginning with Jeff Sessions, and continuing right up until this very moment.

Exactly, good ole Burr once again giving the Democrats what they want. Warner runs that committee, not Burr. He is worthless. It will be no loss if he gets hung for his trade deals which appear to be based on insider information.

But it’s a fact that the Chinese are attempting to influence the 2020 elections in favor of Biden or his replacement. And coronavirus is just the beginning.

Did they point to specific interference and if so what exactly. Meanwhile curious this comes when Barr is allegedly set to drop the hammer.

I agree. Have not seen any specific allegations; how exactly was President Trump aided by so-called Russian interference?

Report ignored information that indicated Putin favored Hillary. Suppressed all info that exonerates POTUS:

A Republican chaired committee in a Republican controlled Senate and this is Democratic shennanigans?

Like the villain in a cheap B movie, the Russian collusion theory just won’t die.
Similarly, they are pushing phase 2 of the Kung Flu.
When will Impeachment II start, or has it already?

I read that Brennan suppressed quality evidence that Russia wanted Clinton. He instead pushed low quality intel stating Russia wanted Trump.
