You're kidding right? The report you link to is the declassified report on the Russian influence campaign. For obvious reasons (even though I know it sucks for us to admit it often) the intel community can't release to the public a full report with classified information detailing everything they know and how they know it. The nature of this investigation guarantees that much will remain secret and for longer than we all would like.

This report is also more than a month old, in that time more details have continued to leak out to the press. But honestly i don't get how you could call the evidence underwhelming, even republicans in congress now admit the Russians involvement and many even acknowledge the motive (others rather not talk about it.. because they know the answer makes them look bad). Having even a rudimentary understanding of American politics should tell you republicans would not just admit these facts without considerable evidence as the facts help to instill the impression that the republican president is not legitimate. There's been reports detailing Russian communications that US intelligence intercepted where Russian officials discuss their scheme and its purpose. I mean if that doesn't convince you or "underwhelms" you than I don't know what would satisfy you.
