It's not about fabricating an otherwise nonexistent problem into being.
It is about applying the right pressure in the right place at the right time.
For example: jumping in with some social media accounts to schedule a protest for just before sundown (or finding one that happens to be scheduled that poorly to begin with) and using bot accounts to boost it's visibility, increase turnout, and increase the chances that enough stupid people are in the same place at the same time so that something stupid happens.
Seems quite unlikely to be Putin. Do you think it's a conspiracty theory to wonder aloud if the J. Edgar Hoover Building had any hand in this at all. Mere idle speculation... Because J. Edgar Hoover. after whom the FBI continue to name their building tried to get Dr King to commit suicide using surviellance and blackmail. That we know of. But keep the name on the building. No need to lie about it. Putin probably told them to keep the name because he wants the USA to look bad, right? See how silly all this Putin garbage is? Laugh at it, hard. It's what it deserves and what it has always deserved.
