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.
