Most people knew that the Kremlin's involvement in the 2016 election - including it's interactions with the Trump campaign - was being sensationalized (to put it mildly) by the Dems, the press and elements of the Washington establishment. I had long suspected Comey and others in the FBI of being partisan actors (especially after the the
Strzok affair and
Rosenstein's recommendation on Comey) but I didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole went. The release of the Mueller report, the revelations about FISA abuse and now the exposure of the mishandling of the Flynn case are enabling us to build a picture of what's really going on.
It's sad that the polarizing and destabilizing intentions of the Russian disinformation campaign have been amplified 100x by the very people who claim to be its staunchest opponents.
