I would suggest to question more on what to believe when it comes to politicians.

We should acknowledge both things
I am not disputing that foreign countries interfere with other countries, be it social media, elections and such… You and many already know how much we, assuming American, the United States have done this as well.
When looking at what the politicians and legacy media’s push for Russiagate was framed as, I am sceptical and see it as propaganda.
Example: Democrats also said Bernie Sanders was a “Russian Asset”.
It is used as a Red Scare tactic, which is used often by legacy media and politicians when opposition to the status quo is seen, be it on the left or right.
A Red Scare is a form of public hysteria provoked by fear of the rise, supposed or real, of leftist ideologies in a society, especially communism. Historically, “red scares” have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing to far-left ideology. The name is derived from the red flag, a common symbol of communism. The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States which are referred to by this name. The First Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War I, revolved around a perceived threat from the American labor movement, anarchist revolution, and political radicalism that followed revolutionary socialist movements in Germany and Russia during the 19th–early 20th century.
