Not that this matters, but how did Comey come off in all this? Was he credible? I didn't get  to see any of it today. Were his answers something either side of the coin, repubs and dems, would dismiss?

 

Is it evident there should be an independent investigation? Is that even possible considering all the ties many connected to Washington have?

Operatives for Russia appear to have strategically timed the computer commands, known as “bots,” to blitz social media with links to the pro-Trump stories at times when the billionaire businessman was on the defensive in his race against Democrat Hillary Clinton, these sources said.

 

 Russian President Vladimir Putin is accused by the FBI of ordering a campaign intended to influence the U.S. election.


The bots’ end products were largely millions of Twitter and Facebook posts carrying links to stories on conservative internet sites such as Breitbart News and InfoWars, as well as on the Kremlin-backed RT News and Sputnik News, the sources said. Some of the stories were false or mixed fact and fiction, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the bot attacks are part of an FBI-led investigation into a multifaceted Russian operation to influence last year’s elections.

 

Investigators examining the bot attacks are exploring whether the far-right news operations took any actions to assist Russia’s operatives. Their participation, however, wasn’t necessary for the bots to amplify their news through Twitter and Facebook.

 

The investigation of the bot-engineered traffic, which appears to be in its early stages, is being driven by the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, whose inquiries rarely result in criminal charges and whose main task has been to reconstruct the nature of the Kremlin’s cyber attack and determine ways to prevent another.

How the **** is Fox News the sane news agency suddenly?

The better question is, how can anybody be so stupid to be betting on Donald Trump still at this point? I don't think FOXNews is all of a sudden turning a corner and evolving as legitimate media outlet as much as they realize where this is going…
