JUST IN: The Senate Intelligence Committee affirms the intelligence community& #39;s conclusion that Russia acted to aid Trump in 2016 — and explicitly breaks with the House GOP.

"The ICA reflects strong tradecraft," said Burr.

Burr& #39;s comment rebuffs this line from the House& #39;s 2018 report:

"(U) Finding #16: The Intelligence Community Assessment judgments on Putin& #39;s strategic intentions did not employ proper analytic tradecraft."

Unlike House GOP report, Senate finds "specific intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trnmp."

The report also finds that the STEELE dossier findings were only included in a highly classified appendix and did not inform any of the judgments of the intelligence community.
