An associate of Roger Stone said Monday he is refusing to sign a plea deal offered by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Jerome Corsi, whose role in Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election largely revolves around the possibility that he was an intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks, said he was offered a deal to plea on one count of perjury.

"They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie," Corsi told CNN in a phone call.

You'll never take me alive, Copper!

1. Hope Mueller doesn't really NEED this ass.

Let him rot in jail as long as possible.

2. "They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie,"

Sounds good to me Corsi, hope you like prison orange!

[Botany]

6. Jerome Corsi, "I am not going to sign a lie." Really?????

19. Enjoy your stay!

3. THIS lying fucker i'm sure was

Promised a FULL PARDON!!! Mueller just has to prove it!! (MY thought only)

[FakeNoose]

8. I doubt this guy is important enough to pardon

Cheeto didn't pardon Michael Cohen or Paul Manafort, why would he care about this guy?

[bluestarone]

9. Cheeto is Just sending signals to all

I'm thinking!! When the PARDONS start there will be by the bunches!! ALL pre-planned.

[blm]

4. Corsi has never demonstrated love for anything BUT the love of lying to suit

a political outcome.

[empedocles]

5. Will not be the last word we hear from Mr. Stone

[jmowreader]

7. Corsi seems an old-fashioned guy, and he thinks he's a man of the sea

So I really believe he'd appreciate being marooned on a desert island 1000 knots north of Antarctica.

[Hoyt]

10. Whata they give you nowadays for lying? Two weeks max?

[DeminPennswoods]

20. The charge will be lying to the FBI and conspiracy to defraud the US

Corsi is 72, even a similar sentence to Manafort's or Gates', is pretty much the rest of his life in prison.

[Hoyt]

21. Papadopolus (?) got 14 days.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. He was a small fry fish and Mueller's team got everything they

needed out of him.

[Hoyt]

23. Whatever they got apparently was not enough to move on trump.

I doubt Corsi will be much different. Heck, they might not even be able to get a conviction.

[yellowcanine]

11. Yeah yeah. He caves by the end of the week.

Corsi is a weasel who will save his own hide by throwing Stone and Trump under the big Mueller bus.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Until He Finds Out. . .

. . .the repub allies of the WH will discourage that pardon he's counting on.

[BootinUp]

13. This means he eventually will, no?

[LanternWaste]

14. He should drop names.

A lot of petty people think doing so is impressive.

15. "They can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie,"

So his book of lies deals (like on Obama's birther conspiracy) didn't have his "signature"?

and the only reason they are talking is he must have admitted (or it's been proven to him) that he lied to law enforcement in order to discuss a deal to reduce his sentencing for perjury.

Now, all of a sudden, after lying for years - as long as I've known of him, he's deeply concerned about telling the truth?

I think it is a ruse to get him media notoriety - to help him sell his books. He's not going to get sentenced to life for lying as we saw with George Papadopoulos 14 day sentence (which is why that sentence bothered me).

[pnwmom]

16. The good news is that Mueller appears to have evidence that Corsi

had contact with Assange -- and so they caught Corsi in a lie about this.

[Javaman]

17. he'll fold just like everyone else.

just more of the false bravado before the real nut crushing happens.

[watoos]

18. Corsi better not wait too long,

there's an expiration date on that plea agreement.

Maybe he's getting the band back together, "Corsi and the Swift Boaters?" Mueller wasn't a real Vietnam war hero was he Corsi? Times a wasting, tick tock tick tock.

Piece of trash. People like him and Karl Rove are vile, and I see Frank Luntz is leaving the Trump party, speaking of vile. When the Republican party is too fascist for even Frank Luntz, that's pretty bad.
