    It’s still speculation. You can’t provide evidence for Putin doing a thing in support of somebody else doing it.

      Chances that a US 3 letter agency has conducted clandestine operations within the country (aimed at misleading it’s own populace) in the past 5 years are pretty much a certainty.

      Speculation is pretty much all one can do for these because the evidence is deliberately and professionally hidden. Such evidence may never be available to the public and usually takes time to surface.

        That’s an assumption you’re making and then simply declaring to be self-evident.

        It is not.

        And there it is, the conspiracy theorist’s bread and butter.
