“This scheme, cooked up by these men, at this time, could very well be what got President Trump elected. This was overt election fraud, an act in furtherance of the conspiracy to promote Mr. Trump’s election by unlawful means.”—Joshua Steinglass today.

I don’t know the context, I don’t know what the “scheme” encompasses: all of the hush money payments, all the NDA’s, the catch and kills, the reimbursement payments, the whole shebang? All of it was “election fraud”, which I understand him to define as “an act in furtherance of…conspiracy…promote…election by unlawful means.”

What were the unlawful means? Can a lawful mean become unlawful when done for a higher unlawful end? I don’t know. If my brain were working properly maybe I could hazard an answer. But it’s not, so I won’t. I need a break.
