Jacob Wohl and Jack Burman at it again. Today's target: Ted Cruz

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burman are today accusing Ted Cruz of having an affair with a woman named Kay Feller. A written statement, supposedly from Feller, inclues specific dates which should be able to exonerate Cruz if Wohl and Burman are as sloppy as they have been in the past. Molly Jong-Fast is live-tweeting today's event.

It's hard to hear because it's like a circus . . . a banjo player, people screaming at the morons, and a guy blowing an air horn as the twits attempt to malign Speaker Pelosi.

They are about to introduce the Ted Cruz accuser so she can talk about attending 'swinger parties' with him. Can't make this shit up!

These accusations are just off the wall nonsense. I can't stand Ted Cruz, but I find this story to be highly unlikely. Teddy boy has plenty of real stains on his character.

And if Donnie strokes out or has a mental breakdown, Cruz might go for the 2020 Republican presidential nomination. And as much as I dislike Cruz and want to see Wohl and his buddies in prison Orange, who’s to say that they’re wrong about that?

and others do it for the ridicule factor.

I remember posting about their last fiasco and some of the comments from one of the reporters from the Daily Beast who attended - https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212537339

A Trump booster promised to reveal the whistleblower’s name from his front yard. The neighbors just laughed.

The half-dozen reporters, photographers and hecklers gathered on the sidewalk did not think Burkman had any idea who the whistleblower was. Most had been to prior “news conferences” arranged by the lobbyist and his 21-year-old sidekick, Jacob Wohl — self-styled investigators who routinely announce they have discovered smoking-gun revelations against Trump’s rivals, then humiliate themselves when they fail to produce any evidence.

“They’re just fascinating characters. They’re constant liars is what they are,” said Zachary Petrizzo, a student at George Mason University, after watching Wohl haul a flat-screen TV onto the front steps on Tuesday morning. (Wohl has admitted to promoting false information when it helps the president.) “People follow it just because of how stupid it is,” said Petrizzo, who had previously attended two awkward Wohl-Burkman events.

For their first one, last November, Burkman and Wohl managed to fill a Holiday Inn conference room by claiming they would introduce a woman who had accused special counsel Robert S. Mueller III of rape. The woman never showed, leaving the assembled reporters to report on Burkman’s face sweat and open fly. The pair’s most recent presser, in May — also held on Burkman’s front stoop — drew only a dozen reporters, who accused the pair of fabricating sexual assault allegations against a Democratic presidential candidate and laughed when a garbage truck rolled up to the curb mid-event.

Tuesday’s crowd was even smaller — half a dozen reporters and photographers gathered around the garbage cans, many openly derisive of Burkman and Wohl, who had spent preceding days hyping a $50,000 reward for the whistleblower’s name. “This is rapidly reaching diminishing returns,” said Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer, who has religiously covered the pair’s fumbles. “Each time I expect, you know, maybe this time they’ll have it. But, of course I should know better by now.”

They know that trump is cooked and there's a good shot that Cruz runs in 2020. There is evidence floating around that Cruz is in fact a swinger. Some really smart operator realizes the best possible way to defang the evidence is for the two "cry wolf" boys to continue their nonsense-then next year when rumors appear knowledgeable Democrats scoff...

They probably recruited the “accuser” and drew Cruz’s name out of a hat as the “lucky perpetrator” five minutes before the show.
