Jerome Corsi Accuses Roger Stone of Trying to Give Him a Stroke in New $25 Million Lawsuit

Source: Law and Crime

Jerome Corsi, former associate of Roger Stone, is now suing him over statements he made on InfoWars, as well as alleged threats that he says were meant to keep him from testifying in his criminal case.

The complaint, filed in D.C. federal court on Thursday, says that in statements made on the right-wing site in January, Stone said Corsi “has told a number of lies,” and “was perfectly willing to bear false witness against me on multiple points that are complete fabrications,” and other similar statements. He also says that Stone falsely accused him of alcoholism. The lawsuit also accuses Stone of using other people, “either out in the open or secretly,” to defame Corsi. Those others include InfoWars’ Alex Jones and Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra Fairbanks, who recently faced a legal threat of her own from Corsi’s lawyer Larry Klayman.

In addition to the defamation claims, the lawsuit also states that Stone threatened him by saying, “I look forward to our confrontation. I will demolish you.” Corsi claims that by making threats against against him, Stone ” intended to try even cause Plaintiff Corsi to have heart attacks and strokes, in order that Plaintiff will be unable to testify at Stone’s criminal trial.”

The complaint does not say that Corsi did suffer a heart attack or stroke, nor does it say that he has a history of such afflictions that would make these events likely to occur. Instead, it just points out that Corsi is 72 years old, and says Corsi suffered unspecified “severe emotional distress” and “severe harm and damage.”

Has Klayman ever behaved like a normal lawyer? Or has he always filed BS suits, right from the moment he unaccountably qualified?

That this lawsuit isn't kabuki theater?

Isn't lawsuits against one another one of the ways these assholes launder money?

This could be a silence payment of some kind, or whatever, made directly through the courts in broad daylight right in front of everyone's faces.

Exactly the kind of crap Stone would try to pull off.

These crooks are finding all sorts of way to funnel money to each other now that certain backchannels are all locked up.

He seems to really enjoy it, and there are takers for his services so he has found a niche among the deplorables.
