Oh fug. This is exactly what the fuck it is.
It was also preceded by a couple weeks of Pence skepticism here, a lot from me, and i believe Trump changed his Twitter pic to include Pence a few days before the story.
I'm all ready to shit on Pence. Between the Manafort plant stuff and the plane trouble hoax that got Pence chosen over Christie, I'm personally biased in the direction of blaming the vp. And I thought it was weird as fuck that within a day everyone was spewing the Pence lodestone story while Podesta ran his mouth on Twitter. It was just too convenient and uniform. I was leaning towards dem hoax to aggravate Trump, but your theory fits better.
Well done, anon.
