Senate Intelligence Committee Report on Russian Active Measures, Volume 5
U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
"Taken as a whole, Manafort's high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska, represented a grave counterintelligence threat."
About this source
The fifth and final volume of a bipartisan, four-year Senate investigation, released August 2020 under Republican chairman Richard Burr with Democrat Mark Warner as vice chairman.
Why it matters for the project
The counterweight document. A Republican-led committee confirmed the interference and went further than the special counsel on the campaign's exposure to Russian intelligence - while also finding no evidence of a criminal conspiracy. Reading it beside the Mueller report shows students that 'the investigation is over' and 'the record is closed' are different sentences.
