here's another example of sneakiness by Senate SSCI and unjustified assertion by both Mueller and SSCI. SSCI cites incident (citing Mueller) in which 'GRU' inserted "middle server" between DNC and its "AMS panel" "to help mask involvement of Russian government actors". 
2/ AMS panel was in Arizona server leased by 'GRU'. Here's how Mueller described incident. See if you can spot what SSCI concealed. (Hard to imagine being sneakier than Mueller, but in this case, they are.)
3/ here's the answer. Senate SSCI concealed that "middle server", supposedly inserted to "mask" Russian govt involvement, was located overseas.
4/ So data went from DNC to overseas "middle server" then to master "AMS panel" in Arizona. And the insertion of an overseas server between DNC computer and an Arizona server is supposed to "mask" Russian govt involvement. How?
5/ Surely "Russian govt involvement" is much less evident if data transferred from DNC (Illinois) server to an Arizona server. Why would Russian govt insert an international transfer of data "overseas" and then back to US? Wouldnt that both draw attention and increase scrutiny?
6/ I don't KNOW what was going on here. Nor am I saying that this loose end refutes Russian govt involvement. Only that the explanation of middle server makes no sense and there needs to be better explanation. Why not report IP addresses, metadata?
7/ I previously raised this very question about Mueller indictment, along with some similar technical questions that remain unanswered.
