the vilna gaon was fed lies by the misnagdim, thats why he made a cherem against chassidim, he considered chassidim ovdai avoda zara, a cult, etc (all the things claimed against chabad today)
these misnagdim said hallel (some of them) the day the baal hatanya was put in jail – they thought he would never get out
the vilna gaon accepted edus from people he trusted, it wasn’t really his fault.
