I don't think "I told you so" will cover the last two years of work telling the truth about #Russiagate, #Russianhacking, #Collusion, etc., and now being proven right. Much less the work of @with_integrity, the #Forensicator & more debunking #Guccifer2, or @CJBdingo25 on #Mifsud.
A thread of the important work done by all of the above debunking multiple aspects of the #Russiagate madness. In no particular order.
@with_integrity has consistently asked questions about "#Russianfingerprints," #Crowdstrike, and more re: #Guccifer2.

The #Forensicator also dedicated countless thankless hours to honest analysis of the documents published by the #Guccifer2.0 persona. They debunked the "#Guccifer2 is a #Russianhacker" narrative from multiple directions in many different individual posts.

Richard Levine, former Director of Policy Development on the NSC Staff under Reagan, contributed in-depth analysis on the problems with, and evolution of, the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

@CJBdingo25 's research on #Mifsud was cited by #Assange shortly before the latter was gagged. Chris's work was then covered by myself and others, & has debunked allegations of Mifsud being a "Russian spy" as part of the #TrumpRussiaCollusion narrative.
Point being: many people with integrity stood up against the false #Russiagate narratives not because they supported Trump, but because they believed in honest reporting based on evidence, and the evidence available did not support the neomccarthyist scaremongering.
Where the fourth estate has failed the public, journalists and individuals who care about the truth stood up and made their voices heard. It's not simply one person debunking Russiagate, it is many voices. From @aaronjmate to @caitoz, @jimmy_dore to @with_integrity & @CJBdingo25.
Obviously more people to list in this category than can fit in one tweet: @ggreenwald and @DefendAssange called this BS out consistently for years, with the latter stopped only because he is now prevented from expressing his views to the public.
Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (#VIPS) members spoke out tirelessly against #Russiagate - based on evidence, not emotion. As did stellar investigative journalist Robert Parry, Editor of @Consortiumnews, prior to his death.
Not to mention @CraigMurrayOrg who also wrote critical analysis of the #skripal affair as well as many aspects of #Russiagate.
On, and on, and on. The false consensus of establishment media can no longer stand up to scrutiny.

At Consortium News, @unjoe has also been skeptical of #Russiagate for months on end.
Another very long thread of those who refused to buy into the peddling of neomccarthyist conspiracy-theory can be found here:

Patrick Lawrence (@thefloutist) wrote groundbreaking criticism of Russian hacking allegations in The Nation in 2017, and continued that criticism a year later via @Consortiumnews:
