Mueller Wants the FBI to Look at a Scheme to Discredit Him

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/special-counsel-refers-scheme-targeting-mueller-to-fbi/574411/?fbclid=IwAR3Ey63CReZvVMeTNbvh8yJ45YdXacKkw3p-nL8JGfr296gjHu8NAxVIYOw

The special counsel says a woman was offered money to fabricate sexual-harassment claims.

-
An alleged scheme to pay off women to fabricate sexual-assault allegations against Special Counsel Robert Mueller has been referred to the FBI for further investigation, a spokesman for the special counsel’s office told The Atlantic. “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” the spokesman, Peter Carr, told me in an email on Tuesday.

The special counsel’s office’s attention to this scheme—which was brought to the office by a woman claiming she herself had been offered money to make up sexual-harassment claims against Mueller—and its decision to release a rare statement about it indicates the seriousness with which the office is taking the purported scheme to discredit Mueller in the middle of an ongoing investigation.

As opposed to Blackout Brett Kavanaughty's reaction.

Even further from the front burner. What a stupid idea from the get-go. I hope everyone involved does some serious hard time for obstruction.

That these idiots kept with the story for a week not realizing that someone had already referred them to the FBI... and still tweeted about it today in defiance...

Wohl even had the nerve to use #webelievesurvivors
