This is kind of reminiscent of when Anonymous claimed they had hacked files that contained proof that four sitting Senators including ones from both parties were members of the KKK. There was a massive freakout in some liberal circles and people demanding the names be revealed and that those Senators must resign immediately or be expelled...and then some people pointed out if a bunch of 4chan posters who had lied in the past about sh!t they had done were exactly a credible source, and of course the implausibility of someone maintaining covert KKK membership while also serving as a US Senator and not having it come up in any election campaigns, etc. only to be ignored by the believers. And after the names of these supposed four Senators failed to materialize some of those people still hammered on it and demanded there be other investigations to find out who they were until everyone just forgot about the whole thing.
