Scheme against Mueller (Sexual assault)

   The special counsel’s office has referred to the FBI an alleged scheme offering women money to make false allegations against Robert Mueller, according to his spokesman.
   
   The referral was first reported by The Atlantic on Tuesday and apparently involved a scheme to level sexual assault allegations.
   
   “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,” special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement to Fox News, without offering specifics.
   
   According to The Atlantic, Mueller’s office said the scheme was brought to its attention by journalists after a woman told them she had been offered $20,000 by GOP activist Jack Burkman “to make accusations of sexual misconduct and workplace harassment against Robert Mueller.”
   
   Burkman told Fox News he does not know the woman who spoke with The Atlantic and has “never paid anyone to do such a thing.”
   
   “This is very silly. It is Mueller doing the usual—trying to deflect from his own problems,” Burkman said, when asked for comment on the special counsel’s referral to the FBI.
   
   However, Burkman told Fox News he is representing a woman who allegedly met Mueller in New York City in August 2010. He said the two were involved in an “intimate situation” when an alleged assault occurred.
   
   Burkman, meanwhile, has gone public with his plans to level said allegations later this week.
   
   “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,” Burkman tweeted Tuesday.
   
   Burkman, a conservative radio host and a lobbyist, is a controversial figure for having launched his own investigation into the murder of former DNC staffer Seth Rich in 2016.

   Mueller has produced nothing of value except minor charges against minor players , How is he supposed to end a useless investigation , just walking away ?   No , might as well try to  save face by alleging one more phony investigation .    25 - 30 Million dollars later ?

   How a right-wing effort to slime Mueller with a sexual assault allegation fell apart
   
   For a little while on Tuesday, a document posted to The Gateway Pundit, a popular right-wing blog prone to peddling conspiracy theories, must have seemed to some of its readers like the perfect story.
   
   Just a few hours later, however, the story collapsed. Journalists and internet sleuths tied a scheme to smear Mueller with charges of sexual assault to an entity called Surefire Intelligence. That firm was tied to 20-year-old Jacob Wohl, a far-right internet personality who has written for The Gateway Pundit...
   
   On Tuesday morning, Wohl tweeted that a "scandalous story about Mueller" would be "breaking tomorrow."
   Burkman announced shortly after that he would be holding a press conference on Thursday to "reveal the first of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's sex assault victims."
   
   The Gateway Pundit, which Wohl writes for, then published the document detailing what it portrayed as an unidentified woman's accusation that Mueller had raped her.
   
   Wohl himself even apparently confirmed a link between Burkman and Surefire Intelligence. He told The Daily Beast that Burkman had hired Surefire Intelligence to help him investigate Mueller's past. Burkman, however, told CNN that he doesn't "comment on any employees or subcontractors."
