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.
