What is fascinating here that looks like there were multiple highly accomplished researchers and decorated experts in multiple fields, that played the game without anybody questioning whether manufacturing a Russiagate story on behest on one political candidate against another, and putting all their expert weight and reputation behind it, is a right thing to do. And looks like now, still nobody is questioning their role in this, at least nothing is seen about it in public. Usually, we say to a conspiracy theorist "it's not possible, too many people would have been involved, somebody would have talked or blew the whistle". Here, nobody blew any whistles, as far as I can see. Is it time to adjust this estimate?
