Police say the hunt for the gunman was hampered by the fact he was driving a vehicle that looked like a police cruiser and was wearing a police uniform. How he procured both is part of the investigation.* the US Senate Intelligence Committee, in a bi-partisan report, acknowledges that Trump won with the help of Russia's "unprecedented interference", which was approved by Putin. Trump wingnut denialism will continue, regardless. The Axios summary:
The search ended around midday on Sunday when the suspected shooter was located by police at a service station in Enfield, north of the provincial capital of Halifax. He was shot and later died.
Police have faced criticism for failing to issue a province-wide emergency alert to warn residents of the danger during the rampage.
The Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday released the fourth volume of its report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, which focused on a December 2016 intelligence community assessment provided to President Obama.* There has been news about ocean temperatures being high around the globe, with the Gulf of Mexico causing Florida to have a very warm spring. Indicates some big, wet hurricanes to come, which is just what the US needs after an economic slow down. And the whole planet is still hot:
Why it matters: The bipartisan report affirms the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help President Trump defeat Hillary Clinton, noting that the assessment "reflects proper analytic tradecraft despite being tasked and completed within a compressed timeframe."
The big picture: The highly redacted report breaks with an investigation by the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee in 2018, which disagreed with the intelligence agencies' assessment and concluded that the Russian government did not explicitly intend to help Trump win the election.
Worth noting: The report finds that U.S. intelligence agencies did not use information from the infamous Steele dossier to support its findings. The dossier was included in a highly classified annex to the assessment, which was in line with President Obama's directive.
- The Senate committee found "specific intelligence reporting to support the assessment that Putin and the Russian Government demonstrated a preference for candidate Trump," and that Putin "approved and directed" aspects of the interference.
- The Senate committee also disagreed with the House's claim that the intelligence agencies did not comply with analytical standards, noting: "The Committee found the ICA presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election."
- "The Committee did not discover any significant analytic tradecraft issues in the preparation or final presentation of the ICA."

You idiot. Thats the intelligence committee looking after themselves. They don't have the evidence.
Like you would be able to tell from your bedsit, Graeme.
Of course I can tell from my glorious two-room country apartment. Metres from pure countryside. Because nothing substantial came out in four years of investigation. But what did come out is the statistics which show it was a Trump landslide. Its true the deep state usually cheats for Republicans. But this time they tried to cheat for Hillary and failed. Russian minimalist influence peddling didn't mean anything. And is just a drop in the bucket compared to what Israel-loving billionaires get up to. Back in the old days Soviet influence was amazing. But we now know that was 90 per cent because of oligarchs in the West.
Steve have you been preparing? There is more to it than just vitamin D3 extreme, and getting one's body in the sun close to noon. But thats the longest pole in the tent. Don't be silly about this now.
