The past 8, if not the past 24 years, of highly partisan, political, and acrimonious relations between political parties in the U.S. is sufficient context for the observation that this is a single party's view of the incident to be salient.
That of the two major parties, the report is authored by the one with a far more adversarial relationship wwith the truth is also worth mentioning.
Not that the report mightn't contain elements of reality. But this is also likely to be as critical of the opposing part and politically beneficial to the authoring party as possible .
The fact is that this isn't a bipartisan and balanced (possibly, yes, to the point of compromise) report. That is not an opinion.
Tptacek hasn't argued the contents are specifically flawed. But the impartiality of the authors is certainly suspect on well-founded grounds.
