WHOAH!! So much for no smoking gun. The #RussiaReport is utterly damning about the failure of the intelligence services to protect our democratic processes.

'In response for our written request for evidence, MI5 provided just 6 lines of text'
Threat of foreign interference only recognised after DNC 'hack & leak'.

'Had the relevant parts of the Intelligence Community conducted a similar assessment prior to the referendum, it is inconceivable that they would not have reached the same conclusion as to Russian intent'
EXTRAORDINARY. MI5 & 6 literally did nothing. Why??

'We have not been provided with any post-referendum assessment of Russian interference. [REDACTED] in stark contrast to Russian interference in 2016 presidential election where an intel assessment was produced within 2 months'
Four years. We've had four years of news reports & academic research: 'open source evidence'. And the spooks didn't even cross-match the social media accounts! They literally don't even appear to have read the newspapers...
