Taibbi is right as far as he goes. We don't know its Russian disinformation.
However, skepticism needs to run both ways.
The fact that we are not sure the Russians are behind it, does not mean we should accept this preposterous story. It clearly looks like disinformation of some kind.
In fact, all major media outlets (including Fox) and the FBI concluded this whole thing was fake, so the story is not what is on those drives, but how they came to be.
I think the message of "It's the Russians" is more palatable to the American news media and to America than "Let's investigate the Trump campaign and Trump's personal attorney."
It's not anti-Trump bias that's driving the "It's the Russians" narrative.
