Actual Conversation I Just Had

“How big is the house?”

“It’s not as big as you’d think for a billionaire. Like, the property is huge, but the actual house they live in isn’t that big.”

“Where is it?”

“The Palisades.”

“Can you see the ocean?”

“You can see everything.”

“Yeah?”

“You can see the moon.”

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” —

Former MLB commissioner Bart Giamatti, “Green Fields of the Mind”.

A "false flag" operation. → tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com

Basically, staging an attack on your guy to vilify the other guy. Common enough, apparently, to have its own term.
