@InUnfunky Even if they pull oil from reserves or increase amount pumped it might not help as Saudi's have been buying up US oil refining capacity left and right. Last time we saw high prices several refineries were shut down for BS reasons which added to games Russia and the Saudis were playing with pricing.
@mcfate @InUnfunky The comment about refinery capacity being bought isn't from that article but many articles over time. Its makes this scenario more of a vulnerability than it otherwise would be. Doesn't speak to validity of a plot one way or the other, but I do think Russia , Saudi's and Iran will do what they can to interfere in our elections.
If they make him annoyed enough, Biden can nationalize those refineries as being "critical defense resources".

Eugene Debs ran from prison.
