The FBI is investigating blundering conservative operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman for a series of possible crimes, according to a document filed by federal prosecutors. ... Ironically, the document revealing the investigation was filed just days after Wohl and Burkman staged a fake FBI raid on Burkman's home in a bid for media attention.
The FBI investigation centers on Wohl and Burkman's February release of confidential juror questionnaires from the trial of Trump associate Roger Stone. The FBI is investigating the pair for potential witness harassment, criminal contempt, and obstruction of justice, according to the filing. {snip} The Sept. 18 document, filed by prosecutors from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, asks for a court order mandating voice-over-IP company HD Carrier LLC not reveal the existence of a grand jury subpoena related to the FBI investigation.
{snip}
The filing was first noticed by Offshore Alert, a website covering offshore banking, after an editor there was able to quickly grab it from the website of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia before it was sealed. (1) The document is no longer publicly available in the federal PACER court system, and a search for its case number brings up a sealed docket. ... "I'm in and out of PACER all day and just happened to be in the right place at the right time," Offshore Alert editor David Marchant told The Daily Beast in an email. "I believe the document was available only for a matter of minutes."
{snip}
While the FBI investigation and grand jury subpoena could portend new legal trouble, they're not the only problems for the pair. Wohl has been charged with two felony counts in California over alleged violations of securities law, while Michigan's attorney general is investigating a racist voter-suppression robocall that claimed to be from Wohl and Burkman. The duo have denied being behind the robocall. (2)
