Your first point is of course true.
Your second point about "false flag" makes no sense whatsoever.
EDIT: This is why HackerNews is going to the dogs. This perfectly reasonable comment has been downvoted numerous times.
- austenallred 11y agoIt's being downvoted because talking about the Clinton administration's financial backing in this thread is off-topic and a little absurd, and this comment is seen as an extension of the first.
- notsony 11y agoBut talking about an investigation into FIFA is somehow on-topic and relevant to HackerNews?!
- dragonwriter 11y ago> But talking about an investigation into FIFA is somehow on-topic and relevant to HackerNews?! To the extent that the FIFA discussion is inappropriate for HN, the correct response is to flag the article, not post things off-topic to the article in the thread. Whether the FIFA-related article is appropriate to HN is completely irrelevant, in any case, to discussion of whether the attack on Clinton is itself on-topic to the thread discussing the FIFA article.

- austenallred 11y agoThat's not what your comment was about :)
- notsony 11y agoIs it really absurd?

- astrodust 11y agoYour comment is completely off-topic and irrelevant. It's not like the US can only investigate one crime at a time.
