Why would the Russians choose to create a story for Hillary? She’s not exactly a favorite of their....
You’re right —the Russians don’t like Hillary, and so why would THEY cover for her?
They wouldn’t.
The Regime UNDERSTANDS that post F&F/Bengazi/etc etc their credibility has struck bottom in certain quarters; they understand that when THEY are seen as the source of their own stupid story, that alone might be enough to render it UNbelievable.
What to do...?
Cook up a story that would succeed in distracting the cynics (i.e. us and many others), but attribute it to another entity famously known to oppose them; the entity can be mostly a liar, but to succeed the entity only needs to be seen as less of a liar than Hillary (which is most of the civilized world).
“Iran crash” satisfies our reflexive and appropriate need to believe the truth is always hidden, but gets us away from our iron-clad belief that HILLARY IS ALWAYS LYING.
The gravy is that “IranCrashBloodClot” magically transforms her into a victim.
