BREAKING: Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi said special prosecutors plan to indict him

Updated info -

Conservative author and Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi said special prosecutors plan to indict

Conservative author Jerome Corsi said Monday that he expects to be indicted by prosecutors working for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III on a charge of lying to investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.

Corsi, a writer who has promoted political conspiracy theories, provided research during the race to longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, who Mueller has been scrutinizing for possible ties to WikiLeaks.

On Monday, Corsi told listeners of his daily live-stream web program that he turned over two computers, emails and other communications to Mueller and sat for six interviews totaling more than 40 hours since receiving a subpoena two months ago. But he said that his cooperation had “exploded” in recent weeks and that Mueller’s team has now said he will be criminally charged. “I’m going to be indicted. That’s what we’ve been told. Everyone should know that,” he said.

After two months of interviews, Corsi, 72, said he felt his brain was “mush.” “I anticipate being indicted on a charge of some form of lying,” he said. “Trying to explain yourself to these people is impossible …. I guess I couldn’t tell the special prosecutor what he wanted to hear.”

Conservative author and Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi said special prosecutors plan to indict him for allegedly lying


By Washington Post Staff
November 12 at 5:56 PM

Corsi told listeners of his daily live-stream Web program that he had turned over two computers, emails and other communications to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and sat for six interviews since receiving a subpoena two months ago.

But he said that his cooperation had “exploded” in recent weeks and that Mueller’s team has now said he will be criminally charged. “I’m going to be indicted. That’s what we’ve been told. Everyone should know that,” he said.

Corsi is one of at least nine Stone associates who have been interviewed by Mueller’s team, which has been investigating whether anyone in President Trump’s orbit coordinated with WikiLeaks in its release of Democratic emails allegedly hacked by Russian operatives.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Just for a timeline here...

Michael Cohen, who was in DC with lawyers today, traveled to Italy from July 9 to 17 in 2016.

This is a month after the Trump Tower meeting.

The Republican National Convention started July 18th.

July 22nd, the DNC emails were dropped by Wikileaks.

I had turned on the TV about 6:07 pm ET and saw Ari doing the election stuff and then turned it off. Then I saw the breaking and turned him back on again and started doing my posts until he finally mentioned it as "And we have other breaking news going on with Mueller and the Russia probe..." or something to that effect as the chyron had been going for a bit, and then did his interview with Swalwell...

Too much going on.

Sure...people lie all the time. Most people don't lie for a living though. When your lies hurt people as yours have, don't expect sympathy. Now go FOAD.

basically a "heads up" to their roach colonies... although they probably thought that they were immune and could easily talk their way out of it.

Could also be a reaction to what they perceive their odds are after they saw what happened to Flynn, and even moreso, Manafort.

Is actually TreasonWeasel speak for:

Mueller asked me a question that we both know he already knows the answer to. And then I lied about it.

Christ I'm glad these people aren't as smart as they think they are.
