The stepson of conservative writer Jerome Corsi has been summoned by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to testify before a grand jury, according to Corsi, a sign that Mueller’s team remains focused on the writer and his interactions with Roger Stone, a close associate of President Trump.

Corsi said in a Fox Business Network interview Monday night that his stepson, Andrew Stettner, had recently received a subpoena for his testimony.

As part of their investigation, Mueller’s prosecutors have sought information about emails from 2016 that Corsi deleted from his computer, including exchanges with Stone, according to draft court documents that Corsi released last year.

In Monday’s interview, Corsi said that Mueller’s investigators appeared focused on text messages he and Stettner exchanged in which Stettner said that a computer that had sat on Corsi’s desk had been “scrubbed,” an apparent reference to the deletion.

1. Is there anything independent of Corsi That states this has happened?

I don't trust the man that speaks lies on the Alex Jones Show. Maybe we should ban post like this here? We are not the free republic.

10. What kills me is those like Ari Melber

Who allowed Corsi to take up half his program and is still showing clips.

Ari has gone from a respected Attorney to a muckraker in a short period of time.

3. Of course, the first thing you do

Is google the name "Andrew Stettner". He appears to be a Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation.

4. Mueller got Manafort to flip by nailing his crooked son in law partly

and he got Flynn with his own son. I guess going to the family members is the way to go when they do not comply. We know he will go after Don Jr amd Jarvanka to get the fucking moron.

6. Sounds more like Mueller wants the text messages from the step-son's

phone rather than to put the squeeze on him for purposes of flipping Corsi.

7. I ran out of my Wa Po free articles for the month so I can't read the article.

What isnon the texts?

8. Clear your browsing history or open an incognito page and try again.

Works for me, maybe it will work for you.

13. I tried that a couple of times before but it doesn't work for some reason.

I get the NY Times but not the Wa Po.

5. This wouldn't work on tRump--he'd let his own children go to prison to save himself. n/t

9. This part of article explains a bit more of what's in Mueller's Corsi draft documents:

"According to those draft documents, prosecutors believe that Corsi deleted all emails from his computer that he sent or received before Oct. 11, 2016.

The prosecutors’ focus on Corsi’s email practices could explain their interest in Stettner.

One email prosecutors alleged Corsi deleted was a July 25, 2016, note from Stone in which Stone asked Corsi to try to make contact with Assange and get copies of hacked emails in his possession. The draft document says that when investigators first asked Corsi about the email, he claimed that he told Stone that trying to reach Assange was a bad idea that should be avoided.

In fact, Corsi forwarded the email to a London-based associate and later wrote Stone an email about WikiLeaks’ plans. “Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps,” Corsi wrote Stone on Aug. 2, 2016, according to the draft filing."

So Stettner could provide information to GJ corroborating the circumstances and intent of Corsi scrubbing the computer to cover up Corsi's part in conspiracy.
