Old news, from several days ago, but, here's my non-duopoly take.
Mother Jones insists that the release of information from late-Obama era Director of National Intelligence John Brennan's investigation into his agency's research into what became known as Russiagate, by current DNI Tulsi Gabbard, is misinformation.
Per the Federalist (no leftist sites popped up on Memeorandum), here's the reality, as they interpret it, about her release:
The experts did not disagree that Russia had continued its practice of attempting to sow chaos in presidential elections. They believed the intelligence indicated Russia sought to weaken presumptive winner Hillary Clinton and those efforts may have indirectly helped Trump. But they were concerned about the lack of evidence for the claim that became a cornerstone of the Russia collusion narrative, in which Trump was accused of conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
That's about right.
The big picture reality?
Prigozhin's Internet Research Agency, via various names, hacked both RNC and DNC computers, started both pro-Clinton and pro-Trump fake Facebook groups and more.
Gabbard's release, and Mollie Hemingway's piece, do NOT promote the Seth Rich conspiracy theory or anything like that.
Update, Aug. 6: That said, it is arguable Gabbard should have redacted her release better, per NBC. At this point, Gabbard is officially Just.Another.Politician.™, Trumptard division.
