I don't think that's what's happening here.This is because they saw the anger over Kavanaugh and thought hey that almost worked maybe we should accuse this guy of sexual harassment too to get rid of him.
Nobody ever accused Mueller of harassment - yet, at least. What happened is, a lady who described herself as a former associate of Mueller, sent emails to multiple journalists claiming that a GOP backer had tried to get her to fabricate a claim of harassment. As easy as such a scheme might be to believe, the actual problem is that the woman making this claim is a very sketchy source, and there doesn't appear to have ever been a Mueller associate by her name. Her claim seems to be phony.
That's why I wanted everyone to read the thread, of that tweet I posted above. It's only the first post. The guy is a journalist and he describes his interaction with this story. An important part:
ETA: Nobody is really trying to create false sexual harassment stories about Mueller. Somebody (i.e., some GOP dweeb) is trying to plant stories that such a scheme is taking place, hoping that "liberal media" will uncritically believe and print them, so that conservatives can later easily prove the story false and "expose" that the media is willing to forgo diligence for political reasons.
