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."
Regardless of what President Trump might say, they noted, the indictment showed very clearly that the Russians - Russian military intelligence, specifically - did it.
"It's pretty clear if you read the indictment, and you read our four findings and Chapter Two, even with redactions, you get most of the indictment," House Intel chairman Rep. Devin Nunes told me in a phone conversation Sunday.
More: Nunes said his report discussed Russian efforts targeting Republicans, which were not included in the Mueller indictment.
All that said, there is no doubt the House Intel report and the Mueller indictment are two different documents with different purposes.
As Nunes noted, the House report did not contain the names of the accused Russians.
There's no doubt the House Intel report, or as much as is possible without genuinely endangering U.S. intelligence efforts, should be made public - especially now, after the publication of Mueller's indictment.
