We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S . presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump
You know. Just in case you forgot the first dozen times.
Oh and by the way…
The ICA did not attempt to address potential counterintelligence investigations- for example, whether Russian intelligence services attempted to recruit sources with access to any campaign. The FBI had a collection of reports a former foreign intelligence officer was hired to compile as opposition research for the U.S. election, referred to as the “dossier,” when the ICA was drafted. However, those reports remained separate from the conclusions of the ICA.** All individuals the Committee interviewed verified that the dossier did not in any way inform the analysis in the ICA- including the key findings - because it was unverified information and had not been disseminated as serialized intelligence reporting. **The Committee will address the contents of the reports and their handling by the United States Government in a separate part of its report.
Yeah so another talking point bites the dust. Suck on that Nunss.
Ouch. That one particularly stings.
