Seth Abramson: If only we could find a link between Trump and Jacob Wohl

If we all work REALLY hard over the next few months, we'll be able to find SOME connection between Jacob Wohl, who appears, if the current NBC and Atlantic reporting is accurate, to have been part of a criminal plot to frame Robert Mueller, and Donald Tr—

—oh, we have a picture?




2/ Anyway, as I was saying, I think there has to be SOME conn—

—oh, there's a Bloomberg article in which Trump "heralds" the "support" Jacob Wohl has given him? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-17/meet-trump-s-latest-market-whisperer-19-year-old-jacob-wohl


3/ Yeah, but it's not like Trump RETWE—

—oh.

4/ The good news is that Jacob Wohl is unlikely to turn on Trump and tell the FBI everything he knows about the criminal plot to frame Robert Mueller, given that Wohl is a much older guy and—

{puts finger to earpiece}

—he's TWENTY YEARS OLD? And has his whole life ahead of him?


5/ Sorry, I shouldn't make light of how stupid these criminals are.

But if I can quote myself from a 2017 WASHINGTON POST article: "This was very unsophisticated, and the people involved were largely moronic....The people involved were stupid...and that’s how [they] got caught.”


6/ I always laugh when right-wing radio hosts say, "The Left says Trump's a criminal mastermind, then they say he's an idiot! Which is it?" I've *always* been consistent: Trump is an idiot with the instincts of a criminal, and he avoids capture because smart people cover for him.

Chaser: The replies to all the Wohl clans' tweets today have been pretty hilarious, but this one made me guffaw:

@JacobAWohl

The MSM has launched a coordinated smear campaign against me, claiming that I offered money to a woman to make accusations against Mueller? Their claims are BASELESS!

Who is this "woman"?

I wouldn't worry. I'm sure interfering with a federal investigation is not a crime.

I have just been informed it is a crime.

Too dumb to know his own stupidity. People like this genuinely think they are ***so*** much smarter than everyone else. It's just astonishing.

Dude thought he was gonna make a couple of slick moves and take down a former FBI director. Wow.

Did a quick google for news stories/details, read this article from GQ and laughed so hard at the utter stupidity I nearly hurt myself.

MAGA Trolls' Efforts to Take Down Robert Mueller Flame Out in Hilarious and Spectacular Fashion

"One of the entities linked to this alleged scheme—which, it bears repeating, is intended to take down the longtime director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation—is a Southern California-based outfit called Surefire Intelligence. This revelation was all the Internet needed to unspool Wohl's handiwork in damning and hilarious fashion. His email address appears in the domain registration records."


"Surefire Intelligence"


Edited to add - I should mention for the non-tech type folks here that registering a domain anonymously is, like, ridiculously simple.

3. Hahaha, looking after those tweets, Jacob is 1 of 3 people I'd blocked

I think for posting so much trump masturbatory posts.

7. Something is wrong with that photo

there is a hand on Trump's left shoulder. Whose hand is it?

[Cha]

9. omg.. that's right. It's weird.

[irisblue]

10. I think Wohls' father was on the other side of trump.

The google image I got it truly crappy & won't C&P.

13. He's a piece of work, too.

I think the guy in the left is David Wohl, dad (and co-conspirator) of Jacob Wohl.

Is the FBI investigating this? This is news to me. I'll have to read up.

17. I like funny Seth

18. As well as the much-ridiculed Surefire Intelligence website,

Wohl has registered 24 domains, some of which sound quite ... colorful:

Might seem hard to believe Roger Stone's buddy Jacob is that dumb. But he is.

21. Seth Abramson missed his calling as a standup comedian.

But when you're covering the clown car that took over the world, it's probably not so hard.
