Jacob Wohl Reportedly Hired to Make Death Threats: 'I'll Make it My Mission to Torture You' to Suicide

By Ken Meyer - Aug 12th, 2019, 10:47 am

Jacob Wohl has gained notoriety as a bumbling political activist -- but a new report suggests he taken on a new gig issuing death threats on behalf of allies.

The Daily Beast's Will Sommer reported a story on Republican House candidate Omar Navarro, and the legal battles he has faced since his failed congressional campaign. DeAnna Lorraine Tesoriero, Navarro's ex-girlfriend, pursued a restraining order against him citing months of alleged harassment, and former campaign worker Irina Chausovskaya has reportedly claimed to have recordings of Navarro making "crude sexual comments about [Maxine] Waters."

Both women claim to have received threatening messages from Navarro over the last few months, and the Beast has an anecdote about two particularly troubling texts Chausovskaya received from an unknown number.

Shortly before Tesoriero's court hearing, Chausovskaya received text messages from a number with a 949 area code in Orange County. Whoever was behind the number wanted to know whether Chausovskaya would be at the hearing.

"Don't worry, I'll see you soon," the text message read. "It won't be painful. I'm looking forward to watching your soul leave your eyes."

"I'll make it my mission to torture you so much that you end up killing yourself," the writer of the messages added.

his voter registration to (D) he would be arrested immediately. (R)'s are allowed, even encouraged to break any laws. Look what is in the WH. Closest thing to a Mafia don we have ever had.

Somehow that doesn't seem quite accurate for this little weasel. It certainly devalues the term.

No Trump supporter is ever going to be arrested for something like this as long as Dipshit is in the White House.

An identity check shows she's not affiliated with any party, lives in the Southwest (Tucscon) and has both arrest and court litigation records.

Her claims are not to be trusted; she's a feed for extremist right wingers with government aspirations.

They need to do something about him, because he'll keep escalating if he doesn't face any consequences. And it seems like he's even being rejected by his own people. I can only imagine what kind of insane stuff this guy will do once he is completely ostracized by everyone

16. Daily Beast has an article as well-

"Meanwhile, Chausovskaya, who had some secret recordings of the candidate, had begun to criticize how Navarro handled his 2018 campaign. On one recording, Navarro speculates about using his windfall of campaign contributions to invest in bitcoin. In another, he discusses which sex acts he would like to perform on Waters. On another, he complains about Asian-American drivers.

“That’s the problem with Torrance, there’s so many Asians right here,” Navarro said on the recording.

The recordings began to circulate on Telegram, a Russian messaging app that’s become popular with American right-wing activists who have been kicked off of other social-media platforms. Some of the recordings were published on a blog operated by anti-Muslim bigot Milo Yiannopoulos, who had started to attack Navarro after the Proud Boys feud."

23. Daily Beast: "hard to know how seriously to take Wohl's words"

In a subsequent message, Wohl said he had the phone disconnected on November 2, 2018 — a little more than nine months ago, and after his failed attempt to smear Robert Mueller with sexual assault allegations.
...
Wohl wrote in another message, “The 949 number DID NOT belong to me at the time the alleged threat was made. You will retract this bogus story or face legal action.”

It’s hard to know how seriously to take Wohl’s words. In June, Wohl admitted to the Washington Post that one of his previous denials to The Daily Beast was, in fact, untrue.

There's a second number and prat involved, too:
Chausovskaya began to receive text messages from a number she didn’t know with a 424 area code, in Los Angeles. The man behind the number claimed to be named Joseph Wexler, and said Chausovskaya had “harassed, defamed, and stalked” his “clients.” Wexler claimed to have talked to an FBI agent about Chausovskaya, and planned to take “irreversible action” against her. Wexler also accused Chausovskaya of acting as an unlicensed lawyer for Tesoriero.
...
“You seem like a smart girl with a great future,” one text message read. “Would be a shame if something happened to you. If you don’t meet with us, we can’t guarantee it won’t.”

likely photoshopped?

I'll bet he's got a disorder that a thorough physical would detect; something typical of undeveloped male brains at his age, since the frontal cortex doesn't finish growing until around age 27. My guess is that he's bipolar, like some of the mass shooters his age.

It speaks to the level of toxicity that politics swims in, to see how clean shaven and well dressed is the Face of Ugly in this country.

It's not just about politics, it's also about what he does with his life when he's not engaged in politics. Statistically there must be a LOT of him around.
