Claims Of A Bombshell Allegation Against Mueller Further Implode

I watched this video. If you don't want to watch a sideways video, I also took notes (funniest part is when Burkman says that Wohl is a prodigy "who has eclipsed Mozart" :

Burkman starts by handing two boxes of papers and waiting while they pass them around.

Asks to observe a moment of silence from someone he knew that was killed in Afghanistan in January. Why at this time? He never says.

Talks about the "backstory" that they paid someone to make these claims. Points out one woman's name in the emails making those accusations does not exist. Says the other woman does exist but the person who sent the email with the offer doesn't exist. Because of that, everyone should just dismiss those stories.

He says the name of the person making their accusations but that she is "frightened for her life" so won't be there but they'll produce her in the future.

Says she is alleging "a rape took place sometime during the week of August 2nd, 2010 in New York City." Those claims are in one of the documents handed out and the other document is about Mueller's schedule during that week. The claims that he was on jury duty are not true and he was in a "cyber conference" in New York.

Wohl says the woman hired his firm Surefire Intelligence to look at an estate matter regarding a dishonest accountant and his firm's work was "a raging success." Later, in September, she saw a news report about Robert Mueller (apparently the first time she saw him in the news) and recognized him and recontacted Wohl.

He says his "default position is to not believe women." Burkman interrupts to say that he saw Jacob go through one of "the most intense vettings of any woman in one of these situations, I've represented other women in these situations and know, and it went on went on for a long, long time."

Wohl says he went through every detail and even joined "historical societies" to look into it and found it credible and "this has nothing to do with politics".

Rehashes why the reports of payoffs is bogus and says "this is an attempt by the media to do the bidding of Robert Mueller." and that "Robert Mueller has ordered the FBI to go after the accusers."

Both Wohl and Burkman ask to imagine if Trump ordered the FBI to investigate "the accusers in the Kavanaugh case. Of course, he did the opposite" (he ordered them not to investigate?) and that Trump's accusers "it turned out they were paid by Gloria Alred(?) to the tune of three quarters of a million dollars."

Wohl says the accusations of a payoff are an attack on the accuser and she is of "unimpeachable character."

Move onto walking through the averments. Says the woman was at a bar with a friend and started talking to an older man. The man started to hit on her. She declined his advances and moved away one bar stool. He moved over to be closer. "In an attempt to intimidate her, me mentioned he worked for the FBI."

Wohl comments that those details "really seemed too specific to be false."

"Intimidated by Mr Mueller and physically pulled by her hand toward the elevator, she decided it would be wise not to make a scene, not to cause a problem." The went to a suite on the 19th floor. He poured her a drink and asked her to lie on the bed. She asked him if he was married. He held up his hand without a ring and said no.

He then "tossed her on the bed." She didn't physically resist but she yelled. He placed the comforter over her mouth. "At that point, she was brutally raped."

After he was finished, she ran out of the room. She went home, took a long shower and called her friend to tell her about it. Because he was in law enforcement and she feared retaliation, she didn't report it to the police.

He says the account is detailed and he has checked it out and it is true.

Burkman adds that Wohl has "an honorary law degree from Harvard" and he finds it interesting that Mueller is already defending himself prior to the press conference by "leaking or putting out" that he was on jury duty that week but they have documentation proving he as at the cyber conference.

They open it up to questions.

First question is whether they have been contacted by the FBI. They say no and they don't think they will "embarrass themselves talking about people that don't exist."

It is pointed out that Wohl was a strong Mueller critic on Twitter before this and is asked if he took the first credible accusation and ran with it. Wohl answers he approached this with "incredible skepticism."

Wohl is asked when he founded Surefire Intelligence. He says he started doing one-off investigation jobs "for fun." Not sure when it was incorporated.

Next question says Burkman and Wohl are "uncredible" and asks Wohl why he first denied being involved in Surefire Intelligence and aliases and the made up people. Wohl says that because the investigation was in flux and he was trying to preserve his anonymity so he could walk through LAX and not be confronted with balloons (there was some sort of balloon at the conference).

Someone asked why he is doing a press conference then. He could have just gone to the police. They said it was because "Caroline, at the time, made a decision not to report it to the police."

He then changes the subject back to being called uncredible. He says it is probably because he represented someone else in a similar situation who was a no show. It's because it is difficult for a young woman to come into this much press attention.
