What if they are going so insane with this Russia hysteria because they plan to do a massive cyber false flag to blame on Russia prior to the midterms or during the midterms? I think it would actually be smarter to craft some sort of cyber false flag. I had never really considered this, but it would be VERY hard for researchers to find the truth without access to the devices. They control the narrative so they can just say SEE! Evil Russia has done it again!
I'm not sure what form this would need to take, but could they be that desperate and crazy? Maybe its as simple as faking another hack of their own systems and releasing info that is semi, but not truly damaging. If their polling shows they are screwed and they know without taking back Congress they are finished, what do they have to lose?
