In the conference room of a Holiday Inn just outside Washington, D.C., Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, GOP operatives of a sort, gathered reporters for their unveiling of a spectacular and unsubstantiated claim: that Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor appointed to investigate possible links between the Trump administration and figures tied to the Russian Federations interference in the 2016 election, was a sexual predator (a claim that not even Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani believes).
The claims, while flimsy at best, were used to allege a double-standard between their client and Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party when they were in high school, in order to prove that mainstream press is doing the bidding of Mueller.
Wohl is a 20-year-old disgraced former hedge fund manager who earned a lifetime ban on futures trading and has since turned himself into a Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist online. Wohl emerged from pro-Trump conspiracy circles online to join Burkman, a longtime conservative con-man with a show on Newsmax TV, to put forward claims to the press that Mueller brutally raped a woman in New York City in 2010. The claims were published by The Gateway Pundit, a right-wing clickbait website with a large online presence, where Wohl was cited as a contributor as recently as six days ago.
Mueller has referred the apparent smear scheme to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When Wohl and Burkman were asked by someone who did not identify themselves at the back of the room whether they were ready to go to prison, the pair responded, No.
Today, after a disastrous press conference, during which Burkmans pants fly was unzipped, The Gateway Pundit announced it had suspended Wohl as a contributor.

"Burkman spoke to Wohls credibility to conduct an investigation that could credibly verify Cass claims, referring to Wohl as "a child prodigy who has eclipsed Mozart.
He cant even open an E-Trade account, someone yelled, referring to Wohls ban from futures trading (emphasis added).
