What if the Telegram was revealed to be a British plot to get America into the war?
Well it wasn't, so I don't understand your point here. You should ask what if Zimmermann never sent the telegram and Britain manufactured an own to trick the Yanks. That would make more sense.

As long as Zimmerman doesn't say 'yes' when questioned by the US Ambassador then you may have an air tight case. However, the US was fairly anti-German by that time and the Wilson Administration may just overlook the idea that it was a hoax.
