So, another baseless speculation: while I think there is zero chance that Trump is connected to it, there is a world leader who is interested in exacerbating divisions in the United States, who has employed all sorts of underhanded propaganda techniques to further that goal, who has espionage history, and who has employed assassination.

It would not be totally shocking to find Putin’s hand in this deed.
