It's also basic PR. Hell, watching "The Thick of It" is enough to teach you that when a bad story comes out, try to use a different story as a distraction. That hardly requires Kremlin support.

And in this case, the release was actually coordinated with the Russians (ref activities of Roger Stone & Paul Manafort, incl public comments). And yes, their apprentices on both sides of the oceans are learning well.
