liejacking
Falsely accusing an opponent or potential critic of the exact thing that you are saying or doing before they get a chance to call you out on what you are saying or doing.
Thus, bystanders and third parties become confused as to what is real and what isn't, and you stand a chance of getting away with what you are saying or doing.
