Conservative writer and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi is in plea negotiations with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, according to Corsi and another person with knowledge of the talks.
The talks with Corsi — an associate of both President Trump and GOP operative Roger Stone — could bring Mueller’s team closer to determining whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016, a key part of his long-running inquiry.
Corsi provided research on Democratic figures during the campaign to Stone, a longtime Trump adviser. For months, the special counsel has been scrutinizing Stone’s activities in an effort to determine whether he coordinated with WikiLeaks. Stone and WikiLeaks have repeatedly denied any such coordination.
Stone has said that Corsi also has a relationship with Trump, built on their shared interest in the falsehood that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
It is not clear what information Corsi could leverage to get a deal with prosecutors. However, he told the Daily Caller last week that prosecutors are focused on whether he had developed a source with inside information about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s plans.
Corsi said he did not have a direct source to the group. Instead, he said he developed a theory that Assange had access to hacked emails belonging to Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and that WikiLeaks would release them in October 2016.
He told the Daily Caller that he shared his prediction with many people, including Stone.
If Mueller could prove that Corsi learned about Podesta’s emails from Assange or another person in contact with him, he could try to link WikiLeaks’ releases to Stone or others in Trump’s world.

Somebody tell me what it any of this was illegal.
He said he thought he was innocent and could talk his way out of any expensive litigation. Wrong!
Does he have bad lawyers or was he not listening to them? Don’t know. Very smart guys can be a bit arrogant at times and not listen to their lawyers.
Obama’s undeniably FORGED birth certificate and draft registration card.
UNDENIABLY. Bringing that into public conversation could only be good for the USA. Voters ate a lot more than romaine lettuce and they are going to have to get nauseously sick before they get better. The media fooled you lot. Obama was not even an American citizen, you idiots.
Until Meuller actually makes his case and Corsi’s defense attorney has a chance to rebut him (and FReepers, of course), it is all smoke and mirrors!
Mueller continues to ignore the real crimes committed on behalf of Democrats who tried to secure the 2016 election then undermine POTUS every step of the way after they lost it.
That alone makes nothing he’s done is legitimate.
Mueller is all about finding those who got the Clinton, Podesta, WikiLeaks emails that are thought to have brought down Hillary Rotten and cost her the coronation.
“Stone has said that Corsi also has a relationship with Trump, built on their shared interest in the falsehood that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. “
Sounds like the idiots at Washington Stool know where O’muslim was born...What a relief./s He still wasn’t eligible to hold the ‘job’ he did for 8 long years.
Obama’s legal team certainly exercised every desperate legal maneuver to PREVENT authorities and the US public from discovering that he was NOT a legal citizen of the United States! That and the fact that his birth narrative in “Dreams” was discovered to be bogus in almost every detail and the book ghost written by a terrorist when subjected to forensic analysis.
Bingo! Unfortunately, re the Clinton fiasco there may be the challenge of working around granted immunities
“Trump needs to appoint a new AG and have the AG appoint a second special counsel to blow this wide open. “
Trump should have appointed the special counsel himself a year ago while Jeff Sessions was fluffing rosenstein and mueller. Now, we’re at the stage of a national emergency— oval office address to the nation, military tribunals, treason trials and hangings on the national mall.
And yet, any one of us reading Wikileaks’ Twitter account during the months leading up to the election could have found the same information Corsi did!!
For example,

WITCH HUNT
LOL! These Journ-o-lists failed to provide evidence of that statement. They would have failed English 101 at College.

We agree on the basics, FRiend.
The biggest fraud ever committed upon the American people. I’d like it to be publicly discovered while Mooch is still out there mooching, while Jarrett is still living with them like half-parasite, half-host, while Nancy Pelosi is still undemented enough to realize it’s time for her to pay up, while many of the media sycophants wishing they were bent over Obama in the limo are still working, and while all the Obama voters can see how they were faked out by nothing more than sweet nonsense talk and mocha skin!
Schadenfreude is going to be sweeter than unicorn tears!
Let’s remember that Mueller and Jon Vichy Kerry were classmates and teammates in prep school !!! Mueller is salivating at turning the screws to the man (Corsi) who helped to bring down his pal Kerry.
THe Deep State goes back very far and wide in these personal connections of our self-styled Ruling Class over decades.
Illegal? Daniel Ellesberg is now serving life in federal prison for stealing and publishing top secret classified government info about the Vietnam war. Oh, wait.
How does being involved in some way with hacked emails have anything to do with Russian collusion? First it would have to be proven that Russia did the hacking. Then it would have to be proven the emails were personally handed to Trump.
Are these the dots Mueller is trying to connect?
I’d love to see what Mueller would do if HE was subpoenaed.
So course he is a journalist what in the world could he possibly have done to be on Mueller’s radar? Yes I am asking this seriously as I have no idea what this is from.
