Bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee released the final volume of its investigation into Russia's activities in 2016

begin partial quote from:
 
    * Russia interfered in the election with the express goal of helping Trump and hurting Hillary Clinton.
    * Campaign chairman Paul Manafort was regarded as a "grave counterintelligence threat" whose "presence on the Campaign and proximity to Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign."
    * Roger Stone was tasked by the campaign with finding all he could about what information WikiLeaks had about Clinton and Democrats more broadly, and "Trump and the Campaign believed that Stone had inside information and expressed satisfaction that Stone's information suggested more releases would be forthcoming."
    * Two (more) Russians who took part in the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with the top brass of the President's campaign had "significant connections to Russian government, including the Russian intelligence services."
