Because yahoo make ad money when they republish a snippet of "news" within fair use. Your curiosity is making them clickbait bucks.

This is a... Pretty shitty source.

I listened to the whole thing, he explicitly said the Russian's were responsible for the hacking.

I don't understand the source: A West Virginia sports forum. Is there a more clearly sourced piece?

What does this link pile have to do with what Comey said in his testimony?

In an independent study, they found that people who watched the daily show were more informed on politics and world news than people who watched news like FOX. Just sayin, when you are more informed and educated by a comedian then by an actual news show you should really assess where you get your news.

Lol!

But it's sadly typical to criticize others while making excuses for our own behavior.

this seems to be the statement that is used to make this claim.

Note that Comey is saying that russians did not directly give emails to wikileaks, but they still believed the russians did so while acting through an intermediary.

Comey is very careful with his words. He says more than "believe". Using words like "believe" create ambiguity. His words are, "we assess", which indicates the evidence they have leads them to that conclusion on a rational basis. How all of this pans out remains to be seen. Perhaps their assessment is wrong. This is a lot better than the hacking reports which culminated into, "well it looks like Russians because those fingerprints were left behind, but we're not sure why they'd be so damn sloppy about it. So Russia, yeah?"

Precisely, and now we have another post on v/politics and v/all voted up just because Voaters want to believe it without even following the link. Boo.

Bad Voat, bad!

Bad @dietcokehead1, bad!

They could pick up Colin Kapaernick on the cheap as a field reporter.
