I find LawNewz tends to be conservative, but you left out even their context by omitting the rest of the sentence:

"The report has been declassified, so of course, it is possible that the fully classified version has more empirical evidence."

Personally, I wonder how point #2 might apply to C-D:

# 2 Russia paid “internet trolls.” From the report: “Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations—such as cyber activity—with overt efforts by Russian Government agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or “trolls.”

Over the past few weeks, it's been fairly obviously that we have one or two of them here (or just wannabes maybe).

Anybody read this stupid thing, it's almost just a report on RT having a bias in favor of Trump.

Gotta do better than this.

Although it does say that the emails that were published were not forged.

I found this interesting.

"
When it appeared to Moscow that Secretary Clinton was likely to win the election, the Russian influence campaign then focused on
undermining her expected presidency."

So, they tried to hurt Clinton and admitted that they failed and that she WOULD WIN ANYWAY.

What's your point? That the Russian pollsters were as wrong as our own? Maybe Comey acted on his own?

I think the people at fivethirtyeight are pretty sharp. They were the closest to calling it for trump. They think the Comey hairball cough-up cost Clinton the election:

So Trump wants our Intelligence agencies to investigate why news media saw the report before he did. Since he doesn't believe our Intelligence agencies, why bother with the report? Does Trump believe the report now that it's out?

But will he believe those reports? That's the problem. If he doesn't believe U.S. Intelligence reports, why ask them to do more reports? Won't they all be bad?

Here's the thing.

Hillary Clinton didn't lose the election because of the Russians.

Hillary Clinton lost the election because well...... she's Hillary Clinton.

Case closed.
