Yesterday social media lit up about a possible story involving Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Did it involve Trump or Russia? NOPE! Instead it’s a wild crazy ride involving sexual allegations against Mueller, shadowy figures, some weird ass company called Surefire, and Gateway Pundit writer Jacob Wohl. From The Atlantic:

A company that appears to be run by a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist offered to pay women to make false claims against Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the days leading up to the midterm elections—and the special counsel’s office has asked the FBI to weigh in. “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” the Mueller spokesman Peter Carr told me in an email on Tuesday.

Wait what??!!

The woman identifying herself as Parsons told journalists in an email, a copy of which I obtained, that she had been offered roughly $20,000 by a man claiming to work for a firm called Surefire Intelligence—which had been hired by a GOP activist named Jack Burkman—“to make accusations of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment against Robert Mueller.

OHHHHHH… well isn’t that interesting?! Of course, folks all over jumped on this and screamed GOTCHA! Mueller has GOT TO GO!

Except this is where it gets totally weird folks. I mean totally weird.

First we learn that some dude named Jack Burkman, who is a firm believer that Seth Rich was killed by Hillary Clinton (yet Rich’s family told him to stay far far away from them) says HE HAS THE GOODS!

Some sad news. On Thursday, November 1, at the Rosslyn
Holiday Inn at noon, we will reveal the first of Special Counsel Robert
Mueller's sex assault victims. I applaud the courage and dignity and
grace and strength of my client. pic.twitter.com/wZVQeHD45r

He even put up a FB video saying the same.

Then Jacob Wohl jumps in with a major post at Gateway Pundit. Except you can’t read it because Jim Hoft took it down. However, one of his other writers posted this:

Mueller Accuses Opponents of Offering Women Cash to Make ‘False Claims’ — IS USING POWER OF GOVT. TO GO AFTER THEM!

And then Gateway Pundit posts this “update:”

Update on Mueller Accusations

And Jim Hoft sort of backtracks via Twitter

Earlier today we were given information on accusations against former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

We took the documents down and we are currently investigating these accusations.

There are also very serious allegations against Jacob Wohl.
We are also looking into this.

Oh well… alrighty then! Here’s the weirdness of all of this.

Jacob Wohl is not quite 21, has been banned from working in financial investing… forever and doubles down with everything!

Tons of media are telling us that they too were approached by this person and thought the entire deal was suspect. Yes I know, the media. Yet …read the email below and tell me what you think.

Then there’s Jacob’s Surefire Intelligence company. Looks super awesome! He has models, actors, and the kitchen sink as his Board of Directors!! Wowzers!

Except …

Wohl declined to comment on his involvement with Surefire Intelligence. However, his email is listed in the domain records for Surefire Intelligence’s website and calls to a number listed on the Surefire Intelligence website went to a voicemail message which provided another phone number, listed in public records as belonging to Wohl’s mother.

Ohhhh… well. Isn’t that something. Here’s the thing. Wohl created his Surefire Intelligence company three weeks ago.

Meanwhile another reporter took a good look and thought … ‘I don’t like Trump/Mueller, but this doesn’t pass the smell test.’

2 weeks ago, I, along with other journalists were set an email from a woman who alleged that she was a former colleague of Mueller. She said that Jack Burkman, via an intermediary, offered her tens of thousands to make up sexual assault claims against Mueller.

I don't know what to make of what has transpired. I didn't find the woman reliable. I found that the intermediary was oddly eager to share details. I came public with this story because Jacob Wohl teased that this was coming. He appears involved in the campaign as well.

Look, I’m not a fan of the Robert Mueller investigation because it can and has jumped the rails. The investigation is SUPPOSED to focus upon whether Trump and Russia colluded over the election, Hillary’s sketchy emails and servers notwithstanding.

However, crap like this? Only serves to muddy the waters. It gives the Democrat left ammunition during a critical time.

Here’s the deal. This writer is going to wait and see. What we know so far needs additional facts to make the case. The Mueller investigation is going all over the place. But to drop a Kavanaugh style attack on Mueller? In my opinion it doesn’t pass the smell test right now, nor does it bode well for conservatives.

Step carefully folks on this. Step very very carefully.
