Stone associate Jerome Corsi is in plea negotiations with special counsel

Source: Washington Post

Conservative writer and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi is in plea negotiations with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, according to a person with knowledge of the talks.

The talks with Corsi — an associate of both President Trump and GOP operative Roger Stone — could bring Mueller’s team closer to determining whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016, a key part of his long-running inquiry.

Corsi provided research on Democratic figures during the campaign to Stone, a longtime Trump adviser. For months, the special counsel has been scrutinizing Stone’s activities in an effort to determine whether he coordinated with WikiLeaks. Stone and WikiLeaks have repeatedly denied any such coordination.

Stone has said that Corsi also has a relationship with Trump, built on their shared interest in the falsehood that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.

No truly DECENT person would associate with any of these cretins. It will be fun to watch them all scrambling to save their own necks, shoving tRump under the bus!! tRump mistakenly thought all his problems would be solved, once he became president. What a wake-up call, they are just beginning!! After all those years of breaking the law, things have finally caught up with him and his grifting family. All those "loyalty oaths" will be worthless soon.

Turning on him too we don't know about, I suspect 2 or more in the family has already turned too, and many others are already thinking about it to. It'll make it harder for him to call for riots from his followers when his own people and family have turned on him.

When you spend all your time lying and distorting reality, it’s easy to forget what’s true and what isn’t.

If he got caught lying to law enforcement, I would say that was inevitable because like Trump, he's such a chronic liar.

I hope they make him do some time.
