what's emerging is information that's crucial to confirm in an information environment that isn't polluted.

Typically after months of investigation and preparing a narrative, the investigation report is released. It can certainly include all the sort of information that's being released.

The difference is investigations usually try to protect themselves and the pursuit of the truth from the sorts of spurious information that arise from this sort of leaking.
