Exactly. The only thing it can really do is trick a sheriff. At least the investigator gets a HINT that their target was framed. And either way, a spy can make the framer even more useless.

Framing also never works. If they frame quiet people, they have a very low chance of getting investigated, but if you frame loud people, be prepared to get a bullet in the back from a veteran or claw marks from a werewolf.
