Nunes: Mueller indictment tracks House Intel report

In a tweet Sunday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., a member and former chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, boiled down special counsel Robert Mueller's new Russian election-meddling indictment to one basic lesson: "Key point in Special Counsel Mueller's indictment: A dozen Russian military intelligence officials conducted the hacking of Democrats during the 2016 campaign."

Other commentators, most with less knowledge than Feinstein, offered similar assessments. Regardless of what President Trump might say, they noted, the indictment showed very clearly that the Russians — Russian military intelligence, specifically — did it.

What few mentioned was that there had been a similar assessment — not speculation, or even a reported account in the press, but an official U.S. government assessment — that came to the same conclusion, based on some of the same evidence, just a few months ago. In many corners of the media and political conversation, though, that assessment was ridiculed and belittled when it was not ignored outright.

Nunes report included this:  "Nunes said his report discussed Russian efforts targeting Republicans, which were not included in the Mueller indictment."

The Feinstein side very much wants to omit this fact and include just the attacks against the DNC.

If there was any remaining doubt that Mueller's probe is partisan attempt to get Trump this should effectively dispel it. There was no other reason to omit that information.
