https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1062103372298444800.htmlTHREAD: What does news that Roger Stone's friend Jerome Corsi will be indicted for perjury tell us about the state of the Mueller investigation?
1/ Over the past several months, it appeared that Mueller's team was focusing on building a case against Roger Stone. Several of Stone's associates were reportedly interviewed by Mueller's team, including Corsi. Stone himself has publicly stated that he expects to be indicted.
2/ For that reason, many observers expected an indictment of Stone now that the midterm elections are over. Corsi was interviewed two months ago regarding his communications with Stone, which suggested that he could be a witness for Mueller in a case against Stone.
3/ Today's news indicates that Corsi will *not* be a witness for Mueller against Stone and is not "flipping" against Stone. It suggests that, instead, Mueller believes Corsi lied in order to help himself or Stone.
4/ To bring a case against Corsi for making a false statement to federal agents (which is what the "perjury" charge would be if he did not testify before the grand jury), Mueller would need to prove that he did so knowingly and willfully.

He wrote the birther book that surfaced in 2008 and was a co author of the anti Kerry book. After Kerry's loss, he threathened to move to MA and run against him - ignoring that a huge percent of MA voted for him for President and that Corsi had written many anti Irish and racist comments.
