Jacob Wohl used old pic of his girlfriend to try & frame Mueller

Jacob Wohl tweeted this photo of the ‘Mueller accuser’ (left), who failed to turn up to his press confidence. You can just stick it into Google Images to get her face, since that exact photo is old, already online and.. his girlfriend.

If you googled “Carolyne Cass fashion designer” you get picture of a woman who looks exactly like this. I have no doubt it’s a friend or girlfriend of his but she does exist... which makes it all the more sad. Why I’m the world would she want them using her name for this charade?!

Mr. Mueller, a well respected special counsel (on both sides of the fence) in a feeble and pathetic effort to discredit him. He needs to be body slammed as he is seriously to do harm (and so is his buddy, Jack B.) to Mr. Mueller. This is no laughing matter.

If these 3 people are typical of a rump supporter, god, I feel for this country already. The responsible adults in the room need to stand up and spank some kids who are out of control and take back control of this country and place it into better hands.

Surely, you cannot just make serious accusations like that. Holding press conferences, pretend to bring forward an accuser and show an image of a friend as the mystery accuser as "proof". There have to be/should be laws against making false accusations like that for the sole purpose of trying to discredit someone's reputation. Even if no police report was filed or any attempt to file charges, this kind of criminal energy and bad intent cannot go unpunished.

As for his fake company, aren't there legal requirements as well? How about taxes and wage records for his "employees" around the world? I have to assume you cannot just make up a company and pretend this company made investigations.

"Keep in mind that if you have been charged with a crime and it has yet to be resolved in the legal system, then you cannot yet file a civil suit for false accusations/allegations. It’s only after you have been cleared by court of law and exonerated, that you have the legal right to commence a civil suit for financial compensation."

With the Muller case, it may be a different issue because, and I am just assuming, there should be a charge of "Attempt to obstruct justice" because this is what these people are trying to do.

A real lawyer's take on this would be great.

But the burden of proof is higher for showing that you were harmed and that the slanderer acted out of malice, knowing that the claims are false.

The only harm this clown did was to himself, his mother, and his ex-girfriend.

libel/slander laws.

I am by no means an expert. Maybe someone on DU can enlighten us.

As I understand it, the problem is that these laws are harder to prove against public figures (politicians) and celebrities.

This seems pretty straight forward.

That's what's going to happen. They probably would keep going with these stunts. But, going after Mueller in attempts to shut down his investigation.

That was insanely stupid.

his thought process that a) would dream up such a deceitful scheme, b) be indifferent to the innocent people he would drag into it and hurt, c) imagine that he could get away with it, d) be ignorant of how it might negatively hurt his future.

He might face prosecution for conspiracy to obstruct justice. He's certainly committing slander. His reputation is now tainted with lying and stupidity. What employer would want to hire such a person?

I just don't get it.

Fri Nov 2, 2018, 09:16 AM

that identifies Carolyne Cass (the woman in the pic) as Wohl's girlfriend.

All I'm finding so far is Beaumont's tweet and others repeating it as fact, and links back to this very OP as proof. Some of the MAGA crowd are all, "OMG, Mueller molested Wohl's GIRLFRIEND??!? No wonder he's pissed!!!!!"

Please share the evidence if you have it. I'm entirely open to believing Wohl shared information (and the pic) without the woman's consent, but since she seems to have made herself unavailable, nobody's been able to check with her yet. There's at least one other woman of Wohl's acquaintance that he's claimed as his girlfriend out there (unrelated to this debacle), and she's extremely vocally unhappy at the suggestion, so it would be no surprise.

that I'd like some better proof than one tweet from someone who's not involved with events at all. It's been quite disturbing watching this take on a life of its own, egged on by this OP.

To be clear to anyone who reads this (and because I'll be away from DU for a few hours shortly), the woman in the pic is Carolyne Cass. Her background generally matches Wohl's claims - from a rich family (daddy's an oilman), works in fashion etc. So the pic and those details tie up. I posted a couple of search links on another thread to back all this up: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11353531

That leaves the claims about what supposedly happened with Mueller, which are quite another matter.
