123. So it must be Hillary and not a Republican?

Why in the world is anyone pinning this on Hillary with absolutely no evidence but poor linear conspiracy theories? There are at leat 15 other candidates that would benefit from Bernie being hurt and secondarily hurting Hillary by poorly reasoned implication.
