This is Putin's pre-emptive attack. He knows that the golden shower tape is coming out. He's trying to frame it as a fake in advance. He MUST protect his asset into which so much has been invested.

At first, I thought maybe he wanted to get caught, but with enough plausible deniability to throw the American system into utter chaos. But then he realized what a pawn he has in Trump. Couldn't believe his good fortune at turning an American president into a pliant puppet. Now he needs to protect that asset, at all cost.

The game is on.

Question. what will the Obama administration do in it's waning hours to protect America? Brennan coming out and taking it to Trump was the first step. Would not have done that without presidential encouragement.
