On March 22, 2018 the US House Committee on Intelligence released their findings in the Russia Investigation. [Note: There are of course additional investigations into Russia ongoing now that have not finished, including the Department of Justice, House Judiciary Committee, and the Robert Mueller Special Council Investigation.] Representative Devin Nunes and his fellow Republicans were, arguably, quick to end their investigations and release their findings to the public. The Democrats on the committee opposed the final release, namely Rep. Adam Schiff; however, we are all better served by winding down some of these Congressional investigations so we can all just focus mainly on one investigation that really matters, i.e. the Mueller Investigation, (which seems up to this point to be spiraling wildly out of control like an exploding super-nova).
“This report, based on 70-plus witness interviews and more than 300,000 documents collected, provides specific findings and recommendations to improve our election security before the mid-term elections. The report, which will include minority views if the minority submits them, presents the comprehensive results of what the Committee has learned during its fourteen-month-long investigation, and will be useful in thwarting any attempts by Russia or other foreign powers to further meddle in U.S. elections.” – Devin Nunes
The report is seven pages and formatted in bullet-point fashion, highlighting 44 Findings of the Committee and making 26 Recommendations. So there are not paragraphs of explanations for every piece of testimony the Committee heard, which makes for light reading. And I’m fine with that, really, because I can’t take more than just a blurb about Carter Page – and it must be a short blurb at that.
