Snopes launched a probe looking into the plagiarism allegations after BuzzFeed News sent inquiries to the fact-checker. Their investigation concluded Mikkelson plagiarized in a whopping 54 articles under his own name, a pseudonym "Jeff Zarronandia," and the generic Snopes staff in the byline.

In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward
Guilt by association?

"But lying by trusted snopes is refreshing because they admitted it after they got caught."

THEY did not lie, THEY did not get caught, THEY did not plagiarize. They caught the plagiarizer and THEY took action against him. Yet, it appears you are proposing that Snopes lied, I would very much like to see any evidence you have to support that.
