After acknowledging that he’s likely going to be indicted for lying to the feds, famed conspiracy nut Jerome Corsi now says he’s working a deal for a plea with Robert Mueller. And that is not good news for Roger Stone.
Watch below:
More from CNN:
Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi said Friday he is in plea negotiations with special counsel Robert Mueller’s office.
Corsi, confirming an earlier Washington Post report, declined to comment further. Last week, he said publicly he expected to be indicted by Mueller for “giving false information to the special counsel or to one of the other grand jury.”
Corsi’s role in the investigation largely revolves around the possibility that he was an intermediary between Stone — a longtime Trump ally and confidante — and WikiLeaks. He has been involved in Mueller’s investigation for roughly two months and has participated in multiple interviews with investigators, handed over documents and provided testimony before the grand jury.
Corsi could face any number of charges — spanning from perjury to making false claims to obstruction of justice. The potential charges could be related to false statements he made about his relationship with WikiLeaks and Stone.
As I said previously, if all Mueller gets from this investigation is a couple of people in trouble for lying to the feds, then it will certainly be a victory for Trump (unless he’s one of the few indicted).
Both sides are playing this issue dishonestly – the left is acting like three’s already no question that Mueller has presented or found evidence of collusion with the Russians. But the right is exaggerating every part of the investigation as if Mueller is a left-wing operative. What if he doesn’t find anything and admits it? What if he actually does have some real evidence? We just don’t know much at this point. That’s why it’s best not to listen to the loudest, and most often the stupidest, voices screaming that they know 100% what is going on in the Mueller investigation…
