my understanding of the article is that they suspect FBI involvement based on the timing but don't have any concrete evidence to support it

I appreciate so much the pragmatist's approach to their methods. They mentioned the coincidence and that they had no evidence to support that hypothesis. They did not accuse anyone of anything, they only requested investigation.

I'm stating this because I think it might be the most important distinction in our lifetime. I think that wars are fought, lives are lost, and maybe even society itself will be lost, on that distinction and those of its like.

bit dramatic but arguably true. then again most of the time when people make such accusations that lead to conflict, they do it while punching downwards. here they're likely being careful not to make the accusation mostly for fear of the wrath of the FBI. if it it were someone a little less fearsome perhaps they'd be less careful
