Guess the one sentence from Comey's testimony that Russia Today is clinging to.

https://www.rt.com/usa/391376-james-comey-testifies-trump/

Comey admitted, however, that it was fair to say that a February 14 New York Times article which alleged that Trump campaign aides had repeated contacts with Russians was "almost entirely wrong."

He also said there have been many stories about Russia which are "just dead wrong," but failed to elaborate.

------------

That's it. A very, very long article on his testimony, but for the headline they choose this tidbit.

Nothing about the alleged hacking or the investigation or how trump fired him because of the investigation. No, the only thing that matters to them is crying about "fake news".

Since Comey was a prosecuting attorney he looks at it and may state things differently. The main concept of meetings with the russians may be correct. But things like if they said "suspects" instead of "persons of interest". At the time he may have considered some statements in the article as a improper description.
