“The lack of vetting of foreign interactions by Transition officials left the Transition open to influence and manipulation by foreign intelligence services, gov’t leaders, and co-opted business executives,” the report said. https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014
A substantial portion of the report focuses on the connections of one-time Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort with Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the report describes as a Russian intel officer, & Russia-aligned oligarchs in Ukraine. https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
“Mr. Manafort’s high-level campaign access and willingness to share information with Mr. Kilimnik and others “represented a grave counterin-telligence threat,” the report con-cluded.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
”Among the report’s other findings were that the antisecrecy group WikiLeaks, which published hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 campaign, “likely knew it was assisting a Russian intelligence influence effort.”” https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
U.S. intelligence agencies had previously concluded WikiLeaks received the hacked material from Russian spy services but were more circumspect about whether the group or its founder, Julian Assange, were aware they were aiding Moscow. https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
There is strong evidence that Mr. Trump, via close associate Roger Stone, kept tabs on WikiLeaks’ effort.Mr. Trump, in written answers to special counsel Mueller, had said he recalled no such conversations. #Purjury https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
”The Committee assesses that Trump did, in fact, speak with Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his Campaign about Stone’s access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions,” the report said.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
One such conversation likely took place on Oct. 6, 2016, the day before WikiLeaks released emails and other documents hacked from Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief John Podesta, it said. https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-intelligence-committee-releases-final-report-from-russia-investigation-11597758014?st=3hug37ekzwnq2h8&reflink=article_copyURL_share
“Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president,” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-18/putin-ordered-2016-democratic-hack-bipartisan-senate-panel-says
”Moscow’s intent was to harm the HRC Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential adm, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, & undermine the U.S. democratic process.”TeamTrump were all in to help Putin. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-18/putin-ordered-2016-democratic-hack-bipartisan-senate-panel-says
“Manafort “created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign,” the report said.” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-18/putin-ordered-2016-democratic-hack-bipartisan-senate-panel-says
The committee was particularly concerned about Manafort’s sharing of information with people it says were affiliated with Russian intelligence services and associates of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-18/putin-ordered-2016-democratic-hack-bipartisan-senate-panel-says
G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Extensive Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russian InterferenceA nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html
The report showed extensive evidence of contacts between Trump campaign advisers & people tied to the Kremlin — including a longstanding associate of Manafort, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, whom the report identifies as a “Russian intelligence officer.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html?referringSource=articleShare
Manafort discussed campaign strategy and shared internal campaign polling data with Mr. Kilimnik, and later lied to federal investigators about his actions. #Perjury https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html
”Investigators had uncovered information possibly tying Mr. Kilimnik to Russia’s major election interference operations conducted by the [Russian Military] intelligence service known as the G.R.U.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html
“The committee obtained some info suggesting that Kilimnik, may have been connected to the G.R.U.’s hack-and-leak operation targeting the 2016 U.S. election.”

The assertion was a sign that even though the inv’n was carried out in bipartisan fashion, and GOP & DEM senators reached broad agreement on its most significant conclusions, a partisan divide remained on some of the most politically sensitive issues. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html

When witnesses presented both counterintelligence and criminal concerns, the Committee's priority was the counterintelligence threat.https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/documents/report_volume5.pdf
Where counterintelligence concerns and CRIMINAL activity overlapped, the Committee worked with law enforcement stakeholders to find an appropriate way forward that would best serve the Committee's investigative purpose without jeopardizing ONGOING INVESTIGATIONS OR PROSECUTIONS
Where the two goals were in conflict, the Committee accommodated law enforcement imperatives.

Former GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher had more extensive contacts with Russian officials attempting to influence US politics than previously known, the Senate Intelligence Committee said in a report released Monday. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/rohrabacher-russia-putin-2016/
In June 2016, House GOP @GOPLeader (R-Calif.) told colleagues: “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” McCarthy, who reportedly said “Swear to God” when lawmakers laughed at that assertion, has claimed he was joking. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/rohrabacher-russia-putin-2016/
The committee report describes an April 2016 meeting that Rohrabacher and Behrends had in Moscow with Vladimir Yakunin, the former president of Russian Railways and a close confidant of Putin.
Yakunin at the time was under US sanctions. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/rohrabacher-russia-putin-2016/
Yakunin at the time was under US sanctions. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/rohrabacher-russia-putin-2016/
The committee said that Yakunin “is significantly involved in Russian influence activities, including those targeting elections.” Much of the report’s information on Yakunin is redacted. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/08/rohrabacher-russia-putin-2016/
Paul Behrends, who was top aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, no longer works as staff director for the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee after stories at The Daily Beast and The Atlantic examined his relationship with pro-Kremlin figures. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-aide-paul-behrends-ousted-after-russia-links-exposed
