That might be the most Keystone Kops-esque disinformation campaign I've ever seen.
But it does raise two issues:
1. Is it a crime to pay someone to lie about a political figure? It's conspiring to defame, but that's a civil claim. And it seems a stretch to argue it's attempted obstruction of justice or some interference with an investigation on the theory he and Burkman intended to damage Mueller in some manner that ended his investigation of Trump. I know there's going to be some crime here, but what would it be?
2. Five or six million people who only read the headlines of stories now believe Mueller was engaged in some form of sexual misconduct.
In related news, the 14th Amendment can be overturned by executive order. I daydreamed thru a lot of con law (except regarding the First Amendment, which I find interesting), but isn't this unpossible?
