Don Jr., Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi.
All three of these men are contemptible scum to the core.
I dont know if there is any chance of a flip at all here, but lets go down the list...
Dont expect Don Jr. to turn on dad, but in the extremely remote chance he does, it would be the absolutely most magnificent operatic shit youve ever seen in your life.
Roger Stone strikes me as an all guns a blazing asshole who will fight to the bitter end and if that end is prison, so be it for him.
Which leaves us with Corsi. He is just a tad bit lower profile than the other two but maybe just maybe he is more malleable. Hes had a lifetime of spewing bullshit and defaming good people. But if theres anything Michael Cohen taught us, its that people who have been utter scumbags for years are still capable of talking deals when theres the possibility that theyd be stuck in prison for the rest of their lives.
But maybe not. Maybe Corsi is shitty to the end.
We will soon find out.

(82,849 posts)Don Jr., though, has many things to consider, not least of which is his impending divorce and taking up with his new lady friend. "Magnificent Operatic Shit" may be an understatement for Junior flipping on dear old Dad, but he's my dark horse pick to flip.

(32,078 posts)I also don't think such a thing is beneath him. I'm sure he knows his father would throw him under the bus and back up over him, if it would save his own ass. Junior is no different. If he had to choose between himself and his asshole father, he'd cover his own ass first. It probably won't come down to that, however.

(51,583 posts)I say this based on what he said yesterday on his show. He was boo-hooing that getting questioned by Mueller ruined his 72nd birthday. That is telling me he is a wimp without his BS microphone to hide behind.

(47,368 posts)I think Stone is too arrogant and doesn't believe he'll really be convicted. Decades of "dirty tricks" and he's never been held accountable.
Yeah, if anyone flips, it would probably be Corsi.
