A bipartisan Senate report released Tuesday affirms the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusions that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election in a far-ranging influence campaign approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin and aimed at helping Donald Trump win the White House.
The report rejects Trump’s claims that the intelligence community was biased against him when it concluded that Russia had interfered on his behalf in the election. It says instead that intelligence officials had specific information that Russia preferred Trump in the election, that it sought to denigrate Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and that Putin had “approved and directed aspects” of the Kremlin’s influence campaign.
The heavily-redacted report from the Senate Intelligence Committee is part of the panel’s more than three-year investigation into Russian interference.

Candidate Trump was Mr. “Drill Baby Drill.”
Russia’s only export of note is oil and gas.
Why would the Russians support a candidate like Donald Trump, who declared his intent to make America energy independent, over Hillary Rotten Criminal, who would have shut down fracking, off shore oil drilling, shale, etc.?
Hillary as president would have made Russia’s oil and gas more valuable and more in demand around the world.
There’s always a chance that you’re correct on this
Something is compelling this guy to run the committee in a way that covers for the CIA and FBI, ignores their spying on Trump, and repeats their claims about Russia colluding with Trump.
Being a jerk doesn’t normally account for such treachery against a president of his own party. Being compromised by the intelligence agencies for whom he’s carrying water, makes more sense. Remember that Schumer himself said that politicians risked a world of hurt if they crossed the intelligence community. And remembers that since 9-11 and the patriot act, the NSA has bugged everybody’s phones, including Congress’s.
Looking corrupt isn’t an indication of being blackmailed”
on the contrary if you’re not corrupt - if you have nothing to hide - you can’t be blackmailed.
I don’t care if MARTIANS INTERFERRED WITH THE ELECTION.
THIS IS THE DEMS, PARTICULARLY, MARK WARNER ON IDIOT BURR’S COMMITTEE, TRYING TO SHIFT THE BLAME TO SOMEONE ELSE.
The DEMOBRATS PICKED UP THAT BALL AND RAN WITH IT, LYING AND CONIVING ALL THE WAY.
THEY LIED TO JUDGES
THEY LIED TO AGENCIES
THEY LIED TO THE PRESIDENT
AND THEY LIED TO US.
Not in any mood to forgive. What the Dims put the whole country through is a disgrace
I don’t care if Putin, himself, handed that crap to Steele.
Steele sold it to Comey, McCabe, et al and they NEVER BOTHERED TO INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF ANY OF THE LIES WERE TRUE.
Burr is Warner’s bitch.
Warner has run that committee to the benefit of Democrats since Burr became Chairman.
What lousy big govt snakes guys like Burr are.
“THIS IS THE DEMS, PARTICULARLY, MARK WARNER ON IDIOT BURR’S COMMITTEE”
Burr is chairman of the committee. Why are he and the Republicans on the committee allowing the Dems to knife Trump? By doing so, these Republicans are also knifing Trump.
And yet you say it’s only the Democrats who anger you?
“Warner has run that committee to the benefit of Democrats since Burr became Chairman.
“
McConnell must be ok with that. He can remove Burr if he wants.
McConnell is part of the Trump-hating establishment. He has done a pretty good job keeping Trump off balance for three years, by making sure the Senate Intelligence Committee kept pushing Russiagate lies.
Then we will have to agree to disagree.
I still think you’re very intelligent overall.
yes.
The Democrats desperately want to be leaders, they want to be in control, which would destroy this country.
Think about Burr. Is this putz power hungry.
For God’s sake, he could just about keep his eyes open.
I AM NOT GOING TO BE MISDIRECTED INTO BLAMING PUBBIES, THEY HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE...BUT THEY ARE NOT EVIL, NASTY, ROTTEN LIKE THE DEMOCRATS.
So Russia,Russia,Russia is back and how convenient. The Chicoms must be laughing their commie butts off.
Are you kidding?
If the Russians did try to interfere it was to help their uranium connection, Hillary Clinton. To think anything else is even plausible is just stupid.
There’s never any call for all caps sentences here. We can here you quite well without shouting, OK?
Sorry to offend you, but if I cannot write in caps when I want to make a point, I just won’t post anymore.
Maybe, I’ll check with the wonderful owner of the site.
If it offends him, I shall leave.

And Lindsey Graham said he wasn’t going to Investigate Biden, they are too good of friends - big he said “Richard” will.
The Republicans live Biden, and he’s untouchable.
Burr turned over control of that Committee to Mark Warner long ago.
The Republicans haven’t issued one Subpoena.
.
Keyboard issues.
Republicans Love Biden.
Lindsey said Richard will investigate Biden, knowing it would be another Fake Investigation.
.
.
Does the article say Burr dumped his Stock with Inside knowledge?
That he contributed to a panic...
.
Go ahead and post in all caps, you'll just get this msg again and again from lots of people.

You are the first.
