With all the Fake News going around it’s hard to tell what’s “what”, but it all sounds like staged leftist garbage to incite IMHO.
It’s to incite and make a good mess, likely to the end of making Trump look like the devil to voting groups for the 2018 election, with the biggest one being women who they have been trying to game for many years. They want to win. They care nothing about truth, other than the truth of holding all of the cards power-wise.
