Senate’s Bipartisan Russia Report Refutes Trump’s Repeated ‘No Collusion’ Lie (
Huffington Postlink):
President Donald Trump’s often-repeated “no collusion” claim about the help he received from
Russia to win the 2016 election was belied once again Tuesday, this time by the bipartisan
Senate intelligence committee following a three-year investigation.
Like
U.S. intelligence services already concluded in 2017 and special counsel
Robert Mueller reported in 2019, the committee found that
Russia worked to hurt
Democratic nominee
Hillary Clinton and to help
Trump— but further found that
Trump’s campaign chairman
Paul Manafort was particularly dangerous to
U.S. national security. “
Manafort’s high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the
Russian intelligence services … represented a grave counterintelligence threat,” the 966-page report found.
The committee also concluded that
Trump confidante
Roger Stone— who along with
Manafort and several others were convicted of felonies in
Mueller’s probe — on the orders of
Trump and his campaign sought to coordinate with
WikiLeaks regarding the release of documents stolen from the
Clinton camp. “At their direction,
Stone took action to gain inside knowledge for the campaign and shared his purported knowledge directly with
Trump and senior campaign officials on multiple occasions,” the report stated.
Many of the contacts between
Russia and the
Trump campaign, as well as a detailed analysis of the
Russian-stolen material disseminated in the campaign’s final month, were previously published in the
Mueller report. But that document was effectively preempted by
Trump’s handpicked
Attorney General Bill Barr, who before the redacted report was released held a news conference claiming — falsely — that it had failed to find evidence of collusion or obstruction of justice.
In fact, the report had plenty of evidence of both, but
Trump and his allies have been claiming “exoneration” ever since. Indeed,
Trump and
Barr have launched investigations in an attempt to discredit
Mueller’s probe by claiming the
FBI’s counterintelligence investigation should have never been started in the first place.
