    Thanks, I couldn't find a non paywalled version of this, but definitely worth posting given how explosive a revelation this is.

        The whole paywall thing is becoming a serious barrier to information access. This also lends itself to subtle abuse and censorship because new agencies can paywall content they want to suppress. So technically they're still reporting on it, but majority of people won't see it.

      There is no revelation though. It doesn't even make sense. Why would the republican controlled house be sitting on information like this?

      Taibbii is a hack. Read his Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Taibbi. It's full of "things" he did as a journalist, none of which is investigating or doing any journalism.

        The revelation is that the Russians preferred Clinton to Trump because Clinton was a known quantity. The whole Russiagate conspiracy theory has already been shown to be complete nonsense, but people just keep clinging to it

        Maybe try engaging with the facts of the situation instead of attacking Taibbi's journalistic skills.
