Minneapolis Police records indicate officers saved and inventoried a copy of the documents Jacob Wohl provided to them when reporting “terroristic threats” and a “homeland security offense,” and MPD recorded their interactions with Jacob Wohl on body camera.

In overnight Periscope video, Ali Alexander states: “Jacob [Wohl] may have actually violated the law, maybe. Jacob handed the paper over to the police that included a screenshot from this account. And that's on him.”

I'd like to make a correction: when I said Jacob Wohl's crew weren't crazy-brainwashed, but rather “perfectly competent grifters and manipulators” exploiting xenophobia for fame and cash, I dramatically overstated their competence. We regret the error.https://twitter.com/webster/status/1099202317902073861 …

The Twitter account Jacob Wohl is accused of using to send death threats to himself before reporting them Minneapolis Police included an avatar image of an actual Minnesota real estate agent who had nothing to do with this.

(If you're wondering if it's a good idea to impersonate someone who lives in the same jurisdiction as where the involved police department is, I'm going to say no.)

Minneapolis Police say they are reviewing the documents Jacob Wohl provided to them with his report of death threats to determine if they can be publicly released. If so, they say they will release them by the end of the day.

Ali Alexander is doing a livestream right now where he's basically running through all the times Jacob Wohl has lied to him and others. “Jacob is a little sociopathic,” he just said, “I'm a victim of the hoax.”

Jacob Wohl tonight says this is “fake news” “made up to protect Ilhan Omar,” but he has not explicitly countered the allegation that he sent death threats to himself. Instead, he suggests he only wanted to report one of the six ‘threats’ he printed and handed to a police officer.

It looks to me like they planned the night before, possibly sooner, to report threats they had not yet received, for the purposes of their film. It certainly aligns with their manufactured narrative that they needed armored vehicles to be safe from ISIS.

What I suggested above also aligns with the timing of when the fake death-threat account’s avatar was stolen from elsewhere. Manufactured, all of it. And they purportedly raked in cash by trumping up security needs. All to release under a minute of interview footage. Nice grift.

Minneapolis Police have not responded when asked if they are investigating the Jacob Wohl matter. They responded to everything except that.

The man whose photo was stolen, allegedly by Jacob Wohl to create a fake account to send himself death threats, has retained an attorney.
