JUST IN: Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been indicted in Ohio

Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl Indicted AGAIN Over Voter Intimidation
https://www.thedailybeast.com/jack-burkman-and-jacob-wohl-indicted-again-over-voter-intimidation

Conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been indicted in Ohio, once more over a racist robocall aimed at minority voters.

Wohl and Burkman, who rose to some level of infamy online for blundering attempts to manufacture sexual assaults allegations against Democratic politicians and other Trump foes, have each been charged in Ohio’s Cuyahoga County with eight counts of telecommunications fraud and seven counts of bribery, a charge that includes attempts to convince people not to cast ballots. The indictment only adds to the growing mountain of criminal and civil problems facing the notorious pro-Trump pair.

In late August, a robocall that claimed to come from Wohl and Burkman warned voters not to use mail-in ballots, falsely claiming that the ballot information would be used to enforce vaccine mandates and collect on credit card debts. In the call, which was sent to 67,000 voters in the Midwest, according to prosecutors, a Black woman warned potential voters not to send in mail-in ballots or risk being fooled by “the man.”

“The right to vote is the most fundamental component of our nation’s democracy,” Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said in a statement. “These individuals clearly infringed upon that right in a blatant attempt to suppress votes and undermine the integrity of this election These actions will not be tolerated.”



OUCH!

Being that a Virginia man and a California man used the telephone system to intimidate residents of several states, these two wastes of semen should be looking at federal time. Hopefully President Biden's AG will press federal charges against them.

pretty soon these CONservative asshats will be wanted in all 50 states.

Come January 20, 2021 there's going to be a new Sheriff in town, and these CONservative ratfuckers, along with the right-wing militias, proud boys, boogaloo bois and every other smidgen of right-wing trash are going to be handled a little differently than their Fuhrer, Donald Trump, handled them. You're going to be hounded until you return beneath the rocks you crawled out from under, you waste of fresh air. You're not fit to coexist with actual human beings, so you'll be exiled to the outer fringes of productive society, to rot and decay until you're heard from no more.
