"not up front" (none / 0)
Not really.

The eponynomous website "Bellingcat" started up on the margins of the DCCC-Russian-Steele Dossier investigation in the US. Supposed "citizen journalism" analyzing public info, informed by E. European/Russia correspondents ("commentators").

I first ran into trolling Duran waters. That's mid-2016.

No. See my comment below. The Browm Moses blog by Eliot Higgins started in the year 2013 on Syria in support of the anti-Assad rebels and gained notoriety with the Ghouta gas attack in August 2013. Higgins started Bellingcat after funding from USAID and American NGOs in 2014 - think Ukraine and the MH-17 incident.

I'm just saying when I discovered Bellingcat, I didn't find the cover story interest in Russian "interference" with US politics plausible.
