Senate's Russia reports to start publishing in July

Source: Politico

Final versions of the Senate's five-part report on Russian interference in the 2016 election will be released in stages starting in July, the panel chairman, Sen. Richard Burr, told POLITICO on Thursday.

“It will start right after we come back from the Fourth,” the North Carolina Republican said.


Burr and his Democratic counterpart, Sen. Mark Warner, have been at work for more than two years on a probe examining the Moscow-led interference campaign in the last presidential election. The committee has reviewed more than 300,000 pages of documents and conducted interviews with more than 200 witnesses, including a recent closed door sit-down with Donald Trump Jr.

“It’s over,” Burr said of the witness interviews, adding that the committee’s work will come out in five installments.

The five installments will be released separately, with the first to come out early in July, and the 5th -- on questions concerning theTrump campaign and Russia -- to be released in mid or late September.

I don't see that the committee has found anything to motivate further security measures or specific recommendations. If they had it would have made headlines.

I think they went looking to scapegoat without regard to how vulnerable the vote counting system was and still is. They were not looking for how undue influences, either foreign or domestic, operate to disadvantage voters, or to spread propaganda, or to inject money into the process, or how they operate to cull, massage or manipulate the voting process itself. They certainly did not look in depth at the behavior and political persuasion of those who own the companies which produce and service voting equipment of all classes during and prior to 2016 and 2018. Nor did they investigate how information regarding systems and software found its way to Russian programmers. If they had we would have headlines of another sort.
