Comey testified that Russia did not leak anything to wikileaks
He said they used a middleman. So yes Russia did leak the emails to wikileaks.
No proof anywhere.

saying "I think...." is an merely an opinion, not a fact. Its a speculation.
How do you suggest that a speculation is being "fooled"
Care to provide a source for the statement that the Russians used a middleman?
SCHIFF: This is a question I think you can answer. Do you know whether the Russian intelligence service has dealt directly with WikiLeaks or whether they too used an intermediary?
COMEY: We assessed they used some kind of cutout. They didn't deal directly with WikiLeaks. In contrast to D.C. Leaks and Guccifer 2.0.

Yeah, I caught Ms. Carter's little all-knowing grin last night during the interview. She promised to "hopefully" break some news on tonight's Hannity as I recall. Even my girlfriend caught that and she's totally non-political.

That statement is also speculation.
It's jargon.
The use of the cutout is also very strange. Why did he say cutout instead of middleman or third party.
Cut-out
A mechanism or person used to create a compartment between the members of an operation to allow them to pass material or messages securely; also an agent who functions as an intermediary between a spymaster and other subagents
