JACOB WOHL, JACK BURKMAN PRESS CONFERENCE TURNS RIDICULOUS AS INFLATABLE RAT SHOWS UP BUT KEY WITNES

Source: Newsweek

Days after conservative lobbyist Jack Burkman announced that he had arranged for a woman residing in California to give a Washington D.C. press conference accusing special counsel Robert Mueller of sexual assault, the press conference flopped because the alleged accuser failed to show up.

Burkman told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had spoken to five women who were willing to go on the record accusing the special counsel of sexual assault. But he claimed that only one of these women had been properly vetted and was willing to speak publicly this week.

Hours before the press conference was scheduled to take place, however, Burkman announced that the woman had decided not to appear because she was afraid for her life. No evidence has been presented thus far that any women exist who want to accuse the special counsel in the Russia investigation of assault.

Nevertheless, a handful of people showed up to listen to what Burkman and his associate Jacob Wohl had to say at their noon press conference. At least one left-leaning activist brought a giant inflatable rat wearing a wig that resembled President Donald Trump.

Luckily, there's a photo of the woman with Wohl on Twitter. Sadly, she looks pretty wiped out. But for a woman who must be over 60 (if not 70), her neck and throat are in amazingly good shape.

[For anyone who can't see the image, a person's face has been wiped out with a gray blob, but a throat area is visible.]

They have no mechanism for questioning anything that's posted on FB. I doubt they even read 95% of it.

And bringing it to this press conference, and the elevator selfie he got with Jack and Jacob, was comedy gold.

I have been suspecting for some time that "Jacob Wohl" is actually some kind of performance artist in trollery.

With ever "revelation" my suspicions seem closer to confirmation.

amusedly,

so wonder why they blanked out her face?

Her photos here: https://www.google.com/search?q=carolyne+cass+fashion&hl=en&authuser=0&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjU9ITwjLTeAhVtk-AKHZuuDlwQsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1920&bih=938

Oh, and 'fashion designer'? She modeled some clothes she found in her garage...though she does do jewelry...like so many others.

Her fashion career at a place who will feature you if you contact them: http://stylelikeu.com/profiles-2/closets/carolyne-cass/

Used to have very dark hair, now blonde.

That same dry bleached hair.

And there's no way the woman in that picture is old enough to have been a coworker of Mueller's in 1980
