Jacob Wohl Staged Fake FBI Raid on Business Partner, Actor Hired for Production Says

A supposed FBI raid of a home of an infamous Republican dirty trickster appears to have been a ruse—one that began falling apart even as its perpetrators managed to dupe a major national newspaper.

On Monday, a Virginia man who responded to a Craisglist ad seeking actors to play FBI agents for a television pilot came forward to say that he’d been roped into the latest hoax orchestrated by bumbling right-wing smear merchants Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl.

Tommy Abraham told The Daily Beast in an interview on Monday that the Craigslist ad offered $400 cash payments to white male actors who agreed to don FBI badges and windbreakers and film a series of scenes at Burkman’s home in Arlington, Virginia. In the pre-dawn hours of Monday morning, Abraham said that he and a handful of others who responded to the ad converged on Burkman’s home and were filmed acting out an FBI raid there. Abraham supplied documentary evidence to back up his assertions, including emails from an address bearing the name of a company Wohl once ran.

By Monday afternoon, news of the fake raid had already been reported as genuine by The Washington Post, and Burkman was insinuating that high-level government officials were retaliating against him for his efforts to root out corruption in Washington. A person going by he name Bev Donahue sent a series of photos and video clips of the “raid” to reporters, and shared them on an eponymous twitter account created in August. But there’s evidence that “Donahue” is just a pseudonym for Wohl. That Twitter account is associated with an email address beginning with “ja” and a cell phone number that, like Wohl’s, ends with the digits 91.

What will these clowns come up with next in order to keep their names in the media?

Isn't Burkman already indicted for his role in hiring someone to make false sexual assault allegations against Mueller?

1. My bs detector went off on this

No way would Barr allow this to happen!

[thucythucy]

2. Um, isn't it against the law to impersonate federal law enforcement?

Just wondering if this sort of shit is legal.

4. Any Charges For Impersonating FBI?

All of Jacob Wohl’s Spectacularly Failed Smear Attempts - May 7, 2020
https://www.thecut.com/2020/05/who-is-jacob-wohl-failed-smears.html

Sparkling-water enthusiast and recent fitness influencer Jacob Wohl is simply unparalleled in the field of failed smear attempts. He’s best known for staging slapdash, surreal press conferences, ostensibly to unveil proof of some outlandish claim against a prominent Trump opponent, which never materializes. Along with his partner-in-crime Jack Burkman — literally, the pair is likely under investigation by the FBI — the MAGA-loving freelance “intelligence” operative has tried and failed to take down Robert Mueller, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and more in the last year alone. So far, the duo have only managed to expose themselves as two men with the know-how and subtlety of two children in a trench-coat trying to buy a dirty magazine.

For their most recent stunt, the pair reportedly hired a woman to say that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had attempted to assault her in a hotel in 2014. This scheme fell apart, in a typically Wohlian fashion, after the woman in question reached out to a journalist to say Wohl and Burkman had paid her to make the claim, and that it was untrue.

Below, a rollicking tour through all of Jacob Wohl’s spectacular résumé of failed smear attempts, including this most recent twist:

The article is only current through May and still has an impressive list of obnoxious stunts that go nowhere. It's hard to believe they're still at it without having someone put them in the clink.

7. Does Jacob Wohl have a humiliation fetish?

Not fetish shaming, of course, but it's the only explanation.

[dawg day]

8. Surely impersonating federal agents is against the law?

See, now, they'll hide behind these other alter egos.

The FBI should now stage an actual raid on Burkman and Wohl, and Wohl's toxic daddy too.
