Source: Cleveland Scene

After already having been indicted in Michigan for a robocall scheme to intimidate urban-area voters with misinformation, the fabulously inept duo of Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have now been indicted in Cuyahoga County for the same scheme.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's office referred the case to local prosecutors.

Congresswoman Marcia Fudge was among those who noted after the Michigan case was unveiled that similar calls had been reported in Cleveland.

Wohl and Burkman face eight counts of telecommunications fraud and seven counts of bribery.

1. YES!!

[marble falls]

2. Young Jacob will be able to meet new people and explore new situations ...

He'll learn the correct way to respond to local expressions, such as "gimme those fig newton's" or "whatdya mean you don't got any cigarettes?". It'll be a growing experience.

19. Those really sticky cheap ones that taste so damn good?

[jmowreader]

6. Postage stamps, not cigarettes

Prisons are smoke-free now. Stamps are the new currency.

[marble falls]

[Raster]

24. ha ha ha

[ResistantAmerican17]

22. And who can forget .... "you gonna have your free world people put some money in my

commissary, or...?”

[gibraltar72]

4. Michigan AG said as part of investigation they found

they were also doing it in Illinois. Wonder if they will be charged there also.

[greenjar_01]

11. We're not feeling particularly patient with this kind of shit

Will depend on county, but if they ran this game in Cook County and there's good evidence, they will be charged, I'd guess.

[marble falls]

12. Please?

[Stallion]

5. They Call it Polishing their Resume Including a Major is Rat-fuckery

endearing them to generations of Republicans in the future

[Sneederbunk]

7. Messed around in the wrong state.

[greenjar_01]

8. These guys are going to go to prison

It may only be for a year or two, and if they get the year it may be a county jail or minimum camp, but they are going to prison, and they are going to have felony rap sheets, for sure.

[bottomofthehill]

23. I don't care if its Six months and a day

I know I would be crying like a baby if sent to Jail for 6 days let alone 6 months. Minimum security, camp whatever. I would be a mess

[Escurumbele]

32. trump is going to get his lawyers to get them out...NOT!

their use has expired, trump doesn't need them anymore, plus they got caught and trump doesn't like people who get caught, which brings up a question.

Will trump like himself when he gets caught and sent to jail? Will he like his children, or at least those he likes right now? I wonder...

[Ohiogal]

10. Sweet!

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Dumbest criminals ever!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. I hope they remember to courtesy-flush!

Some of my former coworkers were in prison, and I walked into a company restroom to see one of them banging on the outside of a stall and yelling, "Courtesy flush, you nasty mother f***er!"

It was indeed horrible in there. I walked out to use another restroom because of the stink, then later asked the ex-con about it. He said that stinky guy wouldn't last long in prison.

[C_U_L8R]

16. That's a good start

It's fitting these idiots lead the procession of many indictments to come.

[Leghorn21]

18. K&R!!

Finally!!

[bucolic_frolic]

20. I bet they get 18 months and a fine

and tilt the plea deal saying they were victims of a sting

[durablend]

26. Of course they're "victims"...of the "deep state" n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. "the fabulously inept duo" - so true. Thought they've avoided prison so far

which does indicate a certain amount of method in their badness.

[LiberalFighter]

25. Too bad they can't be dropped off the Eiffel Tower.

[Initech]

27. The sooner these dipshits go away the better!

[JohnnyRingo]

28. Their lawyers are toasting champaign today.

More billing hours for someone. *klink*

Who's paying the bill? That's what I want to know.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

29. "BOOM." indeed. Read the replies.

BOOM.

[JT45242]

31. Learning tRump cannot pardon them for state crimes

I would bet good money that these idiots are counting ona pardon from the Orange menace and will disocver that he cannot pardon them for state crimes.

Boo hooo.....

[barbtries]

33. the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

bad criminals, i hope they do jail time.

[paleotn]

34. Can they lock them up with no bail due to flight risks?

That would also preclude anymore shenanigans out of these two this election cycle.

LOCK THEM UP! LOCK THEM UP!
