And because people keep asking: no, recruiting people to lie about public figures is not a federal crime until you start lying to the federal government or using the lies to swindle people out of money (or possibly do it to attack a witness in a proceeding)



So, if I have this right, asking someone to lie to a gummint official is not a crime. Lying to a gummint official is a crime.
