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

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

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.

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!

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?"

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

Lol!

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

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.

This is a... Pretty shitty source.

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

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

In the same way Bill Clinton didn't lie about not having sex with Monica.

Well, to be fair, that kind of all depends on how you define "is".

I think Schiff and Comey were doing a performance that was scripted beforehand and if I'm right then they will say that Roger Stone got the Podesta stuff from Russia and gave it to wikileaks to post.

Plus stone has had poisoning from polonium and a hit and run to the vehicle he was riding in. Seems like people don't want him walking or talking

The FBI recruits at community college job fairs. They couldn't put their pants on straight if they tried.
