Man, it's awesome to see this perspective here. When all of the accusations first came out years ago I was massively in denial because already at that point I knew how the deep state operated, and the whole case just REEKED of their typical smear tactics. I've gone back and forth a lot on this one since then, often questioning how reasonable it is for me to assume that he was brought down solely for crossing the deep state. I never even researched it deeply but even at a surface level my bullshit alarms were screaming.
