The unclassified report is underwhelming at best. There is essentially no new information for those who have been paying attention.
-
It'll also force Trump to specifically disagree with or dispute facts, as opposed to cast general doubts. May serve to limit him somewhat.
But this is not a courageous document. It is evidence that the typical " oh but sources and methods" types won out.
-
-
Sources and methods concerns are, of course, legitimate. But unwavering commitment to being risk averse has been Obama's folly from day one.
-
Here are the questions it could have answered but didn't, which the American people need to know:
-
1. The big one. Did any US Person, connected or unconnected with Trump campaign, have knowledge of, procure or participate in the operation?
-
2. If the answer to the question above is anything other than "We have found no evidence of that" is there an ongoing investigation?
-
3. What are Russia's priorities for shifting US policy. Lifting sanctions? Being unopposed in Syria? Undermining NATO?
-
4. How can the United States ensure those goals and policies are not realized? How can we ensure Putin gets no pay off?
-
There are more questions, but those start to get into innuendo. The focus now shifts to how Trump should respond.
-
If he had an ounce of political sense, Trump would seek to distance himself from anything that could be viewed as favorable to Russia.

@Susan_Hennessey A table of IP addresses, hostnames, network links, and providers would have been nice. -
@Susan_Hennessey Also explaining how the first spearphishing link was routed through bitly for mass-exploiting would have been awesome.

@Susan_Hennessey The "haven't proved anything" crowd won't be deterred. Considering that includes a lot of Congress this is a disheartening day. -
@Susan_Hennessey If only they'd outed sources & methods - Russia's ability to conduct influence OPs would be destroyed & they could retire -
@Susan_Hennessey seems these would be some pretty important sources/methods to give up-i know, important moment in history, but post-Snowden -
@Susan_Hennessey Mr.Preident please guard sources and methods and show us a little more. This is big stuff.@POTUS
