50. And they use the old 'accuse the other side of doing what you are doing' trick as usual

Why? Because it works. At least on the brain challenged deplorables. It at least sows confusion about the bottom truth.

They set it up beforehand just in case they do get caught. Case in point: Trump proclaiming that the election is rigged at his last debate. So much so that he may not even accept the results. So that if and when the MSM news ever finds out the collusion he has done with Putin, at the very worst, his supporters are left with the impression that EVERYBODY does it. Or that both sides are claiming the other are guilty, or the MSM are inventing fake news about them. So Democrats believe that Republicans are cheating (which they are) and Republicans think that Democrats are cheating (because their big orange leader, plus all the RW media, says so).
