WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate intelligence committee says it agrees with a 2017 assessment by intelligence agencies that Russia intervened in the presidential election earlier to hurt the candidacy of Democrat Hillary Clinton and to help Donald Trump.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said in a statement Wednesday that his staff has spent 14 months “reviewing the sources, tradecraft, and analytic work, and we see no reason to dispute the conclusions.”
That’s in contrast to the House intelligence committee, which agreed with the majority of the report but said last month that the agencies “did not employ proper analytic tradecraft” while assessing Russian president Vladimir Putin’s intentions.
Lawmakers on that committee said they agreed that Putin had wanted to hurt Clinton, but did not agree that meant he wanted to help Trump.
Ooof! That’s gonna leave a mark.
Not a finding of collusion, but also not an act of collusion.
A Republican-led committee deciding it’s not a great idea to trash the IC shouldn’t be news. The fact that it is only shows how much more needs to be done.
the republicans have been colluding with trump to hide evidence off collusion with the russians.
It’s two person race. Derp.
