Or was it done by the Oligarchy knowing it would be easily proven to be bullshit and sold as a desperate attempt to deflect focus?
Anything is possible.
Why would they need to do that when they have the "real" "fake news" Washington Post doing the same thing?
It did occur to me that the ridiculousness of this effort may not fool anyone, but it will put the idea into their subconscious that something similar to this was done.
It might actually be effective as a dumb @$$ satire. It might get people to thinking that this *is* in fact, a phony baloney robo-call sort of scandal.
