Sure, it turns out there was no big Trump/Russia conspiracy. But there were a lot of signs of Russian interference in the elections that was certain worth an investigation -- which did its job and then submitted its report, like lots of other special investigations. When you think about it, it's much more of an important topic to investigate than whether Clinton got a blow job in the Oval Office. So I disagree that it was a "witch hunt" and therefore agree that Trump's labeling it as such was disinformation. Basically 90% (pulled that number out of the hat, but feels pretty close) of what Trump said while in office was incorrect, disinformation, or straight out lies. I mean, he's so far outside the normal distribution that there's no other president to compare him with. So yeah, I'd be training journalists to label Trump's speech as disinformation too.
