Trump Thread

[Montmorency]

There's been some pretty dire shit going on in the past week or two of these bad times, including the President of the United States claiming to have the power to revoke or abrogate Constitutional rights by executive fiat

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

not even with reference to some national emergency requiring the temporary derogation of protections, but with reference to the President's opinion on what the Constitution ought to say

so it's time for a

HUMOR BREAK


A young right-wing provocateur Jacob Wohl was just outed for attempting to frame the Special Counsel Mueller with discrediting sexual assault allegations. His plot was apparently as follows (in this summation where I'm missing something, it's probably a detail that makes the whole enterprise even dumber and you can delve and chuckle for yourselves):

1. Pose as a fake woman contacting reporters claiming that Republican operatives are paying her to lodge false accusations of sexual assault against Mueller.
2. Contact a real woman and offer her money to sign a sworn affidavit alleging that Mueller sexually assaulted her nearly 50 years ago.
3. Use a fake firm to put out a fake report containing anonymous allegations of sexual assault by Mueller through Gateway Pundit, a far-right fake news mill that, among other things, pushed the narrative in October 2016 that pro-Trump FBI agents were going to leak damaging information about Clinton as an October Surprise (FBI Director James Comey infamously got out ahead of this by effectively leaking himself)
4. Something something MeToo
5. ???
6. Glory to God-Emperor Trump!

Apparently the front site they setup to distribute the final product (the report and accusations) was filled with stock photos of actors and models, and included/was registered to Wohl's personal email and phone number - as well as a phone number registered to his mother.

Wohl stopped responding to NBC News after being told Surefire's official phone number redirects to his mother's voicemail.

Mueller quickly got wind of it and the FBI is investigating. Wohl will be lucky to escape a federal prison sentence for suborning perjury among other things.

@GilrandirThis is what politically-motivated accusations look like. Their hallmark is that they are very easy to debunk.
