Woman Contacted By Mueller Scammers: People Behind This 'Not Very Smart'


By Nicole Lafond

October 31, 2018 10:55 am

Jennifer Taub, a Vermont Law School professor who was contacted by the fake intelligence group seeking damaging information on special counsel Robert Mueller, called the people behind the scam “not very smart.”




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.

is everything they do is "not very smart". But a sizable portion of America falls for it. People are idiots.

they're in it for the hate and the greed.

anti-intellectualism as part of the hatred.

they see stupid as more honest, even while they're obviously lying, believe it or not.

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.

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.

His dirty tricks were absurd but he knew how to pull them off. This sounds like him -- ala the Al Franken hoax but these guys aren't even finding right wing women they'd need to pull it off.

But sadly, many of their voters believe every last word. That's why they do it.
