This is the official report from the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee. It includes a list of more than 30 key witnesses the Committee refused to interview.
It also includes a list of more than 20 entities, including Deutsche bank and the estate of Peter Smith, from which the Committee never requested documents.
ON UPDATE:
Here is the NPR report:

A day after the Republican members of the House intelligence committee released their findings from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, which cleared President Trump's campaign of collusion, Democrats from the committee released a document today saying it was "premature" for the majority GOP members to conclude the probe.
"The decision to shut down the investigation before key witnesses could be interviewed and vital documentary evidence obtained will prevent us from fully discharging our duty to the House and to the American people," the report from the Democrats says. It then details a "status update" on their findings on various elements of the Russia investigation.
The GOP members concluded that members of the Trump campaign who met with Russian actors may have displayed bad judgement, but nothing worse.
The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Adam Schiff of California, appeared with fellow intelligence committee Democrats on Capitol Hill Tuesday evening and said the Republicans had put forth a "pretense of trying to find the truth."

(13,776 posts)2. that's an amazing list of people and documents the House committee never got information from
Nunes didn't even pretend to do a thorough job. This is so transparently and overtly pathetic. What does Putin have on him?
