Taub said she was contacted by a group called Surefire Intelligence, which offered to pay her to speak with them about her interactions with Mueller. The group is reportedly part of far-right conspiracy to drum up fake sexual misconduct allegations against the special counsel.

(14,174 posts)Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman thought they only had to convince and spoon feed the trDump Fascist zombies and Fukx Nuz with their smear Mueller scheme. They forgot that the other saner 60% of the population would dissemble and dissect their juvenile delinquent smear Mueller plan.
They are now open to prosecution for conspiracy to obstruct justice.

(2,009 posts)That some of these idiots actually DID believe some women would so lightly make a false accusation.
So they went clumsily looking for one.
And, unsurprisingly, after staging a high-profile demonstration of the vitriol and death threats that even a genuine accuser would be subjected to, they apparently found it hard to purchase a false accusation.
Geniuses.
