Skepticism of the claims of law enforcement and the intelligence community are good, for a multitude of reasons, but the case here is a lot stronger than you're suggesting and is substantiated by much more than mere finger-pointing by the US government or other governments.

It's unfortunate that the political climate in the US is on such a knife's edge right now that basically no one trusts anyone and everyone is running with their own databases of the facts of the world.

I understand the US government is itself very largely to blame for this deep distrust, but posts like yours make me worried for the next few decades. This isn't a criticism of you at all, but just general concern that things are kind of coming apart at the seams societally. I really hope the "two movies on one screen" phenomenon doesn't escalate to the point that the screen shatters into a billion pieces.
