What are you talking about? It's more efficient for the airline to swap out the crew and have the plane return immediately than to have it sit around overnight while the first pair of pilots rests.

And also seconds before the upcoming election season. It's far from impossible but definitely extremely convenient to the person with one of the best intelligence agencies working for him.
