Fake stories that can be disproven are planted as an inoculation. In Hillary’s case, once another false tryst is easily set aside and ridiculed, it makes the low infos more likely to shrug off any hint of the ease with which others walk all over her...
Clinton
Obama
Assad
Putin
Hilary’s ratings went UP when Bill’s affairs were in the news.
Now THAT is the most likely situation. A false story being planted and debunked... in preparation for a slew of “real” Clinton conquests coming to light. All the lessen the impact when Hillary’s run starts.
