The NYT could be indicted under the legal theory Mueller advances in this indictment.

Mueller forgets that proving libel/slander against public figures is impossible

The argument isn't libel based, libel isn't even a crime.

The indictment is based on a theory that any foreigner who spends money advocating in US elections (See Carlos Slim's NYT) is in violation of US criminal statutes.
