This is not to say the Russians weren't also involved in hacking Podesta or the DNC, but the question is, who gave the emails to WikiLeaks. We do know that 3 IT guys, who were later arrested after being accused of??unauthorized access to Congressional computers including Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Could they have been the source of the emails being sent to WikiLeaks? Stranger and stranger.??

Just curious, and maybe I'm overlooking something obvious - how does
Comey know where Wikileaks got its info? I didn't realize he was on
wikileaks staff which, if true, would actually be the most important piece
of info to come out of this hearing so far... :P  

For that matter, how does wikileaks really know where they got their
info? A state actor is not going to come out and say "hey im from
the FSB, Putin loves you! -  here is some more shit.."

Furthermore, why should we believe anything a career liar like Comey says?

And please don't take my statements as some sort of defense of the
democrats or Hillary or Podesta or anything like that... I think they
are all a bunch of fucking crooks.
