Wohl-Burkman Fiasco ‘Press Conference’: Giant Rat, Corncob, No-Show ‘Victim’ Upstage Collapsing Claim of Mueller Sex Assault
Very few journos showed up for the press conference held by Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl to promote claims that special counsel Robert Mueller committed sexual assault.
The accuser, identified by Wohl and Burkman as “Carolyne Cass,” did not show up — but a giant rat did.

The man behind the rat was brilliant political prankster Claude Taylor of MadDogPac.

Some of those present were committing journalism on the spot…
Wohl is now walking through the accusation, saying his client was “brutally raped” by Mueller. There’s already inconsistencies between his account and the docs handed out. pic.twitter.com/rM5I4FA7jH

Jack Burkman’s fly is down. ???

… along with incredible claims about a “client.”
Wohl suggested that the accuser, who they promised in the future will appear in front of the press, will also file a police report — perhaps as early as next week. “We have to see,” Burkman quickly backtracked. “A lot of that is up to my client.” https://t.co/gFWOdMbkg5

The Twitterati unanimously claimed the entire affair a craptactic dumpster fire of crazy:
Throughout their 45-minute press conference, Wohl, Burkman, repeatedly contradicted themselves and each other, giving cryptic non-answers that convinced approximately zero people in attendance that their allegations were anywhere close to the truth.

So Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl hold press conference where accuser doesn't show up. That accuser is Seth Rich who could not be there because Hillary had him locked up in the basement of a DC pizza parlor owned by Soros. QAnon has been dispatched to free Seth and the children.

Daily Beast:
A press conference intended to publicize sexual assault claims against Special Counsel Robert Mueller collapsed in spectacular fashion on Thursday, after the pro-Trump operatives behind the event failed to demonstrate a grasp of even basic details about their accuser or explain why they had repeatedly lied about their project.
