Just reported on @MSNBC: Jerome Corsi, a former associate of Roger Stone, tells NBC News that he has been offered a plea deal by Mueller on one count of perjury, related to WikiLeaks and Assange.


UPDATE: He has refused the deal.

2. More reason to watch out for trump December surprise

[garybeck]

54. disagree.

if you don't agree to plea deal, that means you are not cooperating. not the other way around. if he refuses the plea deal that means he is likely going to face trial and will not cooperate with investigators.

[jberryhill]

3. Corsi is a psychopath

Making a deal with him is, IMHO, pointless.

[PJMcK]

4. Completely agree

Corsi is also probably clinically insane!

Nonetheless, he wouldn't enter into a plea agreement without professional legal representation, right? His lawyer knows what the client has to do, I would think.

[Power 2 the People]

29. +1

Off the rails for decades.

[uponit7771]

6. +1, I wouldn't doubt he's lying about the plea deal. Nothing from him is truth

[brush]

11. He can also give up Stone and trump.

[jberryhill]

17. he's unreliable

Absent some sort of machine connected to his head which reliably indicates whether Corsi is lying, his cooperation is worthless since he is fundamentally detached from objective reality.

I would LOVE to defend a client with Corsi as a witness for the other side.

[brush]

20. If he has clear evidence that Stone conspired with Assange I don't care if he's nuts.

And if Stone knew, that leads to trump.

[jberryhill]

24. If by "evidence", you mean something in tangible form, then he is unnecessary

I don't understand your comment. Any physical evidence in his possession, including communications, has already been produced. If he has not turned that stuff over, then there is no deal to be made.

The only value of making a deal is testimonial evidence.

[brush]

28. Neither you or I know what he knows. The Feds have interest in it.

We'll see what unfolds.

[jberryhill]

32. Here's some of what he knows

He "knows" Barack Obama's birth certificate is fake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_the_Birth_Certificate%3F

He "knows" that Barack Obama is secretly gay:

https://www.vice.com/sv/article/5gavex/this-man-has-proof-that-obama-is-gay

All the usual smear campaign tactics have been employed, as you'd expect, but a man named Jerome R. Corsi (above) has a new one to unleash: that Obama is a closeted homosexual.

He "knows" a lot of things.

[brush]

33. You think I don't know about Corsi? Please.

Like I said, let's see what unfolds. The feds have their reasons.

[watoos]

36. Wasn't he behind the John Kerry Swift Boaters also?

This is one guy who I would like to see do jail time for all of the slime he has thrown.

I don't believe anything that this guy says. For certain Mueller isn't going to leak anything.

Throw the book at this creep we don't need to give him immunity to bring down Trump.

[Mrs. Overall]

37. Yes--swiftboating Kerry and created conspiracy about Obama's birth certificate.

Certifiable loon.

[dawg day]

5. On MSNBC, they had a reporter who said she'd talked to him-

and he said he'd "rather rot in jail."

Oh, and that he simply "forgot" something and it wasn't perjury.

I think the legal defense fund is his plan for retirement $. Really. He'll collect all that money, wait Mueller out, maybe eventually take a couple-weeks in jail, keep the money.

[uponit7771]

7. +1

[htuttle]

9. "I forgot"

Reminds me of the old Steve Martin routine. 'I forgot that I was supposed to pay taxes.'

"I forgot that I colluded with Russia to sway an election."

[dchill]

46. "I simply... forgot!"

[Merlot]

14. The legal defense fund will be all gone,

lawyers that represent you against Mueller aren't cheap.

[brush]

15. Both Cohen and Manafort clammed up at first.

[onecaliberal]

8. I guess magnifort is singing...

[matt819]

10. I do hope it includes prison time

Max prison term for lying to the FBI is 5 years.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. CNN just reported that Corsi has turned down a deal.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Lock him up then.

Get a Stone-Corsi two-fer.

[greatauntoftriplets]

19. That would make me very happy.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. Can't say that he wasn't a worthy recipient of Karma.

I would think John Kerry and Barack Obama would both agree.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. I'm sure this news will make them smile.

As they say, karma's a bitch.

[Mrs. Overall]

16. Wow. Just saw this update. I guess that means some jail time?

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. I hope so.

[PRETZEL]

23. If the reporting is that he turned down a plea deal,

then I would suspect an indictment is in short order?

Now the question becomes, how many other charges could he be facing as a result of this decision?

I would venture to guess it's more than just 1 count of perjury.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. Very likely.

[ck4829]

25. Lock Him Up

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Throw away the key!

[not fooled]

43. Martyr yourself!

For the, uh, cause? whatever the hell that is.

[Roland99]

31. Says he hasn't lied

Link to tweet

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Sounds like he's still lying.

[Roland99]

35. Is a lying liar able to tell they're lying?

[jberryhill]

38. And that's the fundamental problem with Corsi

[erronis]

51. and the fundamental problem with drumpf. Wired to lie.

I guess that's a mental health plea...

[greatauntoftriplets]

40. Corsi has tons of experience lying.

[Roland99]

45. When Twitler can't lie enough, he send Corsi

[MontanaMama]

30. There should be something forthcoming

in the Manifort case today or tomorrow too. Hoping for something good there. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-16/mueller-promises-judge-more-details-on-manafort-case-in-10-days

Are Corsi and Stone that stubborn and stupid or do they know something we don’t?

[watoos]

39. Let's remember,

this entire thread is based on something that a filthy, nasty liar has said. I believe none of it, nothing that comes out of his mouth. I hope he gets the justice he deserves. None of what he says is confirmed, I will wait for the truth to be told.

[Jersey Devil]

41. I doubt Mueller wants him as a star witness

He's such a liar his testimony would be useless. A plea deal just wraps him up as another guilty plea and may help corroborate some Wikileak stuff, but probably is worth very little.

[Goodheart]

42. Corsi says he'd rather rot in prison than admit to lying

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/26/jerome-corsi-says-robert-mueller-offered-plea-deal-on-perjury-charge.html

[grantcart]

44. Me too

[Glimmer of Hope]

50. Please go ahead and rot.

All of them.

[lsewpershad]

47. "He refused the deal"

Goodn try and jail his ass.

[lsewpershad]

48. "He refused the deal"

Good try and jail his ass.

[triron]

49. Also worth mentioning that the British parliament just seized some facebook docs.

This is related to Cambridge Analytica.
I'm sure there is some coordination with Mueller.

[Takket]

52. This guy must have an idiot for a lawyer

Corsi is playing hardball against mueller for his very life. This is where your lawyer is supposed to step in and say “they have you dead to rights on multiple counts. Take the deal. “

He is playing up the whole “perjury trap” defense to excuse not pleading on that one count. Yeah good luck with that. Mueller will bring down an avalanche on you now!

[NorCen_CT]

53. Am I wrong in thinking that there never was a plea deal on the table...

and Corsi is trying to martyr himself by saying he is going to fight the charges brought down from the "illegally appointed special counsel" (or some other such nonsense)?

Of course - if my theory is correct, that means we would soon see his GoFundMe drive start in t-minus 3...2...1...
