Jacob Wohl Accused Of Fabricating Sexual Assault Claim Against Pete Buttigieg

The same boy blunder who got banned by the National Futures Association (NFA) for for life misrepresenting investments and misleading investors, before he was old enough to legally drink? The same SUPERgenius who offered to pay a former co-worker of Mueller's to accuse Mueller of sexual harassment, who then went straight to Mueller and told him? The very one and the same pathetic wannabe Bond villain approached several young Republican men (one of whom taped the whole sordid offer) and thought it would turn out differently?

You don't say.

One such Republican said Wohl approached him and asked him to accuse Buttigieg of assaulting him while he was drunk. He declined, and later provided the Beast with audio that reportedly corroborated his account.

Eventually, according to the Beast, Wohl and Burkman found their mark: They reportedly created fake social media accounts for a 19-year-old Ferris State University student named Hunter Kelly, and published a Medium post under his name on Monday that described fake allegations of sexual assault. The post has since been deleted.

Kelly told The Advocate he was in close contact with Wohl and Burkman, but he claims he had nothing to do with the Medium post and didn’t agree to have his name used for the smear campaign. Later, in a Facebook post, Kelly said he was “not sexually assaulted” and that he was duped into signing on to the smear.

...........................................

The Republican who declined to work with Wohl and Burkman said they promised him he’d become a rich and famous political figure if he participated in the plot. He said they cited Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as an apparent example of how much he stood to gain, according to the Beast.

“It’s not going to throw us,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, told the Beast on Monday. “Politics can be ugly sometimes but you have to face that when you’re in presidential politics.”

after he tried to smear Mueller's own name not too long ago.

But it would appear that Mueller punted -- and why, I will never understand...

That smug little fuck needs to be behind bars...

In April 2019, the FBI declined a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents relating to Surefire Intelligence, explaining that "Acknowledging the existence or non-existence of records could reasonably be expected to interfere with law enforcement proceedings", citing FOIA exemption (b)(7)(A). Reporter Colin Kalmbacher commented on Law & Crime that this is a common excuse used by law enforcement agencies, which suggests that an active FBI criminal probe against Jacob Wohl is under way.
