Russia 'interference' report to be published.

[patman post]

I'd be surprised if it contained more than has already been speculated, but I guess it puts the stamp of authenticity on it. Russia is a gangster/mafia state with the godfather creaming a percentage of whatever the gang bosses make through their various cartels and scams.
Added to that is Putin's aim of being regarded as the leader of a great power akin to the old USSR and its predecessor Russian Empire. The more Russia can disrupt the smooth running of the rest of the world the better Putin likes it.
But it shouldn't be overlooked that other forces are also out to disrupt — especially through cyber attacks and social media campaigns, eg, China, Iran, Israel, North Korea, and ultra Right political and terrorist organisations...

That didn't take long.  Hope it is a sign new The Intelligence and Security Committee, is going to carry on in the vein

Russia 'interference' report to be published
3 minutes ago

A long-awaited report into alleged Russian interference in the 2017 general election and the 2016 Brexit vote is to be published next week.

The Intelligence and Security Committee voted unanimously for it to be released before Parliament's summer break.

The delay in publishing the report, which was completed last year, has led to speculation that it contains details embarrassing for the Conservatives.

But the government denies that political considerations were involved.

The report is thought to look at a wide range of Russian activity - from traditional espionage to subversion - but the greatest interest is in possible interference in the 2016 and 2017 votes.
