In line with the most outrageous precedents of modern governance the world over, both national
and corporate, any person(s)/party with a vested interest in the various possibilities arising out of such pot-stirring will, of course, retain plausible deniability. Not to caste aspersions in any particular direction because I don't know who might be considered 'vested' here, but comments like 'It's got nothing to do with us' don't actually mean anything in my book.
