The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee backed the Intelligence Community’s handling of its assessment, under President Obama, that Russia interfered with the 2016 election with the aim of boosting then-candidate Donald Trump.
Another brick in the wall.
Not trying to be snarky here, but I think we all knew this. Where does this go from here? I’m guessing it’ll be filed, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ style, in a massive filing cabinet somewhere.
What I’m hoping for is that this is entered into the record and used as a cudgel from now until the election, but that’s probably too much to ask for…
Hoo Boy! Trumps head is going to explode over this one…!
So I guess this means Bill Barr will have to investigate the Senate Intelligence Committee.*
*Not snark.
Yup. It’s almost comical, except that it’s our reality. 
If you tried to write this into a script and sell it to Hollywood producers they would laugh you out of their office. And yet here we are living it …SMH😕
Attorney General Bill Barr — with the help of U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor Barr himself tapped — has launched his own review of how the intelligence community came to its conclusions about Russia’s 2016 election interference.
Yes, and there are three groups of people anxiously awaiting the result:
Trump voters, who positively want to be fooled.
Team Trump, to see if the whitewash was laid on thick enough.
The rest of us, not sure whether to laugh or cry.
Wrong tense?
There are Democrats on that committee.
The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee backed the Intelligence Community’s handling of its assessment, under President Obama, that Russia interfered with the 2016 election with the aim of boosting then-candidate Donald Trump.
Ahhh…so what.
It’s just a good thing that those same senators didn’t convict Trump at the Impeachment so that we can still enjoy him as our president…and that’s what’s most important folks!
I am really looking forward to the treason charges against Bill Barr, Trump, his kids, and Manifort. Get his taxes, then start arresting people. Guantanamo seems like a good place for them.
Good thing this Senate committee worked so fast. Now they’ll have time to investigate whether Richard Nixon was involved in the Watergate break-in.
That’s a LOT of black ink used up… Would love to see what’s under there.
There’s only one way to react to this report, which is that the senate, including Trump-hating GOP traitors, is in on the hoax, and it only further proves beyond any doubt (not that there was any) that it was a massive, massive hoax, far bigger than anyone’s ever seen.
Putting Senators in the position of having to acquit him in the face of incontrovertible evidence of criminal wrongdoing and negligence of duty would have been a big help. But, you know, that would have required going to the mat on a bevy of subpoenas for important witnesses. And, well, Nancy Pelosi couldn’t be bothered.
It should be noted, however, that to date, the ‘Steele Dossier’ has been found to be essentially correct in its facts and conclusions.
Some senators are never going to see any corona virus aid for their states, are they?
You never miss a chance to wrongly accuse democrats of mismanaging things that aren’t even their job.
The SENATE refused to bring any witnesses, THEY are the ones at fault.
JFC.
I was particularly struck by this choice of phrasing in the article:
The dossier was a collection of claims, some of them now debunked . . .
What evidence is there that anything in his report has been debunked?
Yet to be confirmed, perhaps . . . but that is quite different.
This is the percussion section of the orchestra signaling that there is more to come later in the selection.
