the party in power is not above using their powers in tactics like
this in order to influence elections...

this is very true.  the drop also caused speculators / futures
hoarders to unload and get off the pot, and that dropped the price of
crude some $10-30/bbl.  it's gone from the mid $140s at the peak to
the mid $90s now.
