"While the full committee signed off on the facts laid out on the committee's report, Democrats and Republicans ended up with different interpretations about what they say about the Trump campaign and collusion -- a word that is not written into the body of the report itself.
""We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election," said acting Senate Intelligence Chairman Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, who took over the panel when Burr stepped aside earlier this year amid an FBI investigation into his stock trades.
"The Trump campaign echoed that sentiment in a statement on the report, saying it "proves -- yet again -- there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.""
"But Warner, the committee's top Democrat, said in a statement that the report was the "most comprehensive examination of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign to date -- a breathtaking level of contacts between Trump officials and Russian government operatives that is a very real counterintelligence threat to our elections. . . . . .""

Or, perhaps, he meant that it's better it was released now, rather than late October.
