You're assuming malice when you say "for political reasons", aren't you?
Isn't it equally likely that that experts had good reason to suspect a Russian disinfo campaign given all the things cited above?
Being wrong about something (which I'm still not sure we can say for certain?) doesn't mean that the person was wrong on purpose.
Sometimes you draw conclusions on the evidence at hand (like our Intel community does all the time) and are just incorrect.
Yep.
It's like how in the climate debate, you'll find letters signed by scientists arguing against climate change, but they're almost never climate scientists.
Being a PhD in another science doesn't make you qualified to judge a science you've never studied.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I didn't realize it was a state by state thing!

I know a Nurse Practitioner* who is anti-vax and also believed that light could cure cancer even after her own father died of cancer while using the light treatment.
It turns out that having substantial medical knowledge doesn't prevent people from believing crazy things if they want to.
*for the uninitiated, a NP practices medicine very much like a doctor except that their prescribing privileges are overseen by an MD
