Turns out, it doesn't really take the federal government to solve the case. It just takes, I don't know, a few minutes of web searches by Aric Toler, a writer for the open investigation community Bellingcat. Toler takes maybe 15 minutes off his work on Russia, quickly revealing evidence of Wohl's ties to the so-called "Surefire Intelligence" and right-wing conspiracy-pushing websites. Wohl seemed to have tried to create a facade of credibility for his private intelligence firm, but it quickly falls apart with a little scrutiny.
Check out the Bellingcat article above, or take a quick look below, it's really quite something....

A company called “Surefire Intelligence” has ties to this Mueller smear.
Jacob Wohl denied having ties to Surefire.
Surefire’s official phone number redirects to a voicemail box registered to Jacob's mom.https://t.co/aVPzVDjGR4
Hahahahahhaha Jacob Wohl (the "LA hipster cafe" guy) is tied to the DNS records for the place that did the "investigation" for this thing. He used jacob.wohl@nexmanagement.com when setting up the site.https://t.co/PD5BkB4uwI pic.twitter.com/e7VQ41Th2P— Aric Toler (@AricToler) October 30, 2018
