Heading into PT, review of what is known to the Council about Harry
Arjan:
If he very publicly locks up a titan a lot of these things don't matter anymore. Not for the short run anyway and after that we get the apocalypse, three of them.

You've got Rudolph threatening Murphy, the svartalves threatening Thomas, Justine's pregnant, the Council threatening to kick Harry out, everything with Eb, cornerhounds...
I'd bet that if he started looking at any of the threats seriously, they'd melt away. He could easily prove Thomas was innocent, if he put the time in as PI; he could easily dismiss the case against Murphy if he spent some diamonds on a good attorney; the White Council vote will turn out to be a half-assed effort that he's going to win anyway; and so on.
The point of all of the subplots is to distract Harry from the real plot of PT/BG.
The main question going into BG: Is Ethniu, and the massive fomor attack on Chicago, just another distraction?

I mean, we were told that Peace Talks was intended to be a book where things go in an unexpected direction 2/3 of the way in (and the Fomor being treacherous is to be expected) so it's entirely possible.

But who is behind it? Yes, it does look like a massive plan to keep Harry distracted, but to what purpose?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Don’t just consider it is part of a single conspiracy, it is quite possible for Harry to have more than one enemy attack him for separate motives at the same time. The Peace Talks may be both cause and effect of the multiple attacks, someone has set Harry up, but someone else is also opportunistically taking advantage of the set up for their own ends.

Well, if Peabody can be in cahoots with someone to conspire with the help of magical in to influence the Senior Council for the last dozen years or so, doesn't mean that there are not others using different means to the same end.
