To not paraphrase Tyrion Lannister because I'm about the only person in existence who hasn't watched the show, if the attempt to set this up is wilfully ludicrous, the most obvious people to think of are probably people that don't want you to think there's any basis behind any of the more longstanding and somewhat similar rumours floating around about the purported setup victim.

And probably want you to go to Wikileaks.com and look for embarrassing stuff about Hillary Clinton instead.
