Notorious Cultist Disbarred After Robocalls Conviction

Reuters reports:

Washington lawyer and Republican operative Jack Burkman is poised to lose his law license after pleading guilty to telecommunications fraud in Ohio. The D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility said Tuesday that Burkman earlier this month consented to disbarment.

Burkman and his associate, Jacob Wohl, pleaded guilty in October 2022 to telecommunications fraud after using robocalls to intimidate people from voting by mail during the 2020 U.S. presidential election. They were sentenced to two years of probation, fined each $2,500, and work 500 hours of community service.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commissions in June hit Burkman and Wohl with a $5.1 million fine for making more than 1,100 unlawful robocalls in August and September 2020.

As many longtime JMG readers will surely recall, during the 2016 campaign Wohl and Burkman hired actors to falsely accuse multiple prominent Democrats and Robert Mueller of various sexual offenses. In addition to the conviction noted above, Wohl and Burkman are awaiting a ruling on multiple felony charges in Michigan.
