if the most rotten disinformation peddlers & debunked "RuSsIa coLLuSiOn" conspiracy theorists are in tears (see example above), Gabbard is right on target
thanks to Mark Zuckergberg's confession we know that FBI rigged the 2020 election by instructing US social media giants to BLACKLIST a FACTUAL story of Biden family corruption via selling access to the white house for personal gain
furthermore, a cabal of government agents was caught in their effort to rig the 2020 election & betray the oath to their country by running a disinformation campaign against a sitting United States president in order to steal his second presidential term:

I spent 25 years as a Soviet/Russian analyst. Given the context of what the Russians were doing at the time (and continue to do — Ukraine being just the latest example), I considered the cautionary warning to be prudent.”

Nothing I have seen really changes my opinion. I can’t tell you what part is real and what part is fake, but the thesis still stands for me, that it was a media influence hit job.”
