It's hard to understand how Wohl doesn't see how he's up to his eyeballs in trouble already after the FBI opened an investigation into him for trying to frame Mueller. I'm sure being a 20 year old has a great deal to do with his apparent cluelessness, but still. I wouldn't be surprised to learn he's being mentored by James O'Keefe.
California has a mandatory arrest policy on domestic violence calls and false accusations are only charged as a misdemeanor. The law overcompensates to protect potential victims of DV based on the stats and history. But the flip side of that is it'd very easy to get someone arrested on a bullshit accusation if someone is intent on a setup with minimum consequences to pay even if exposed. If desperate enough and offered enough money, as women approached and offered 20k by Wohl to setup Mueller have told the press, I could see it happening. But it'd be hard to imagine it wouldn't somehow also get exposed with a target as high profile as Avenatti.
Hope this gets resolved soon. And if it's fake, I hope Avenatti takes TMZ down and Wohl should be looking at having pay a substantial sum for the damage to his rep in a defamation case. I agree he's pretty much the wrong guy to fuck with. But so is Mueller and that didn't stop this dipshit.

It wouldn't surprise me either if O'Keefe was connected to Wohl somehow. David Daleidan was another protege of his who doctored the Planned Parenthood video. It seems O'Keefe likes to keep a lower profile these days while his Project Veritas minions do his dirty work.

----------------------------------
Then why must it be a 'citizens arrest' when one person calls the police for assault, only for the other party to deny it? What's so special about "domestic assault" compared to the aforementioned?

Because of a change in California law which made some domestic assaults a felony, enabling warrantless citizens arrest based on an accusation. Domestic battery has always been classified a felony (whether domestic or not) but not so for assault in domestic disputes. Assault differs from battery in that battery involves physical force and violence whereas assault is just the threat of physical force or violence. You can probably imagine why opening door to classifying assault without battery as a felony in domestic disputes could be a bad idea.
Right now the problem is the law on false accusations from domestic disputes hasn't caught up. It's a felony to file a false charge alleging assault, which is why it rarely happens. Not so if it's a false accusation of assault or battery from a DV charge. That's only a misdemeanor. IMO, that needs to change.
