Let's think about that for a moment:
Who benefited?
Why, the Dimocrat Party, of course: since the obvious failure of their "Russia collusion" fairy tale, they needed another way to attack Trump.
Who could have seen this violence coming a mile away?
Why, Terry McAuliffe, of course.
And how does he benefit?
When he runs for President in 2020...
SO whose idea was it?
Then again, from what I have seen from them lately, it is very believable.
If he does run, he is going to have to explain himself and that may be difficult.
