Blaming the boogy man of White Nationalists, Russia, or outside outside agitators is a way to shift blame by politicians and an easy scapegoat. Amusingly the governor of Minnesota, and a big city MN mayor blamed vandalism & lootingrioters as being the work of people who were all from out of state, thereby parroting Trump's same line (or he theirs).

They (not Trump of course) had to walk it back when it turned out not to be true.

Is there some outside groups posing as others, possibly, but to blame a majority of problems on them is just BS.

Something else I think you're indirectly hinting at is that revelations like the one in the original post - White Nationalists posing as Antifa - can be bent by bad actors as an excuse to claim that all anti-fascists are white nationalists, instead of being correctly observed as fascists trying to undermine anti-fascism. In effect, even after being exposed Evropa was successful.
