So is the NYT, so is WaPo, so is NBC, so is NPR and even PBS nowadays which is a shame (look at their association with ProPublica)
The question is whether their scoop is true or not, not what their spin is. I care about whether the facts are true, and any functional human adult should be able to filter out the narrative to boil down the facts.
The new details in this article are that Hillary's server was hacked by Chinese who used some backdoor- probably phishing- to install embedded code that forwarded ALL her emails to the chinese.
And that this information was known since 2015, and made available to the FBI investigators, in particular Strzok, who failed to act on it and kept it secret during their public statements and testimony/
This has all kinds of implications in the butterymale saga and even the greater FBI bias saga. If Strzok was aware of actual government actors penetrating Hillary's emails and harvesting them, yet still chose to prioritize the "Trump Investigation" without any actual evidence of foreign connections, only rumors from paid oppo, and then manipulated the wording of Comey's statements to exonerate Hillary by claiming 'extremely careless' instead of 'grossly negligent'- that's a clear example of bias affecting the investigations. They cannot defend avoiding the 'grossly negligent' label if they
knew that Hillary was both inappropriately using a private server despite many warnings not to do so
and it resulted in the Chinese spying on her.
