(National Sentinel) Coercion: Investigative journalist and author Dr. Jerome Corsi, an associate of Trump ally Roger Stone, said Monday he will refuse a plea deal with Robert Mueller following reports last week that he was in talks with the special counsel.
Earlier this month Corsi said in a video he posted online that he expected to be indicted by Mueller whom he has said is targeting him because of his longtime support for POTUS Donald Trump.
Mueller’s team believes that Corsi was an intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and that both he and Stone knew in advance that the whistleblower site was preparing to release emails late in the 2016 presidential election cycle damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager, John Podesta.
The first of those emails was released in early October 2016. Stone and Corsi have both denied being in on the releases.
“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.
Asked what will happen next now that he is refusing, Corsi responded: “I don’t know.”
Corsi has said that after hours and hours of intense questioning by Mueller and his prosecutors — an ordeal he compared to “being interrogated as a POW in the Korean War” — that the special counsel was attempting to catch him in a “perjury trap.”
He maintains he has never willfully misled anyone.

Thats the interview Corsi did today.
I hope Trump pardons him. I believe him. Until they talk to Assange, this guy should get a pass.
Mueller is disgusting.
Corsi wants to sell more books.
What an ignorant twit thing to say.
Mueller's SOP is to bankrupt people with legal defense fees so they plead guilty just to keep their families from being ruined.
That's why General Flynn pleaded guilty to speaking with the Russian ambassador after the election as part of his duties. He did nothing wrong. He got a date wrong.
Mueller wants Corsi to tell lies about Trump, and he's refusing.
And you think he's doing it to sell a few thousand dollars worth of books.
Corsi is a drama queen. I don’t think he will be indicted. I listened to his 90 minute revelation. Mueller is after Stone.
In terms of the Muller investigation, I am better informed than you.
So Stone colluded with Russians? Seriously?
Some people will believe anything.
Even if we were willing to stipulate that's a violation of some sort, there remains a legal challenge to the special counsel:
PROVE IT, SUCKER!
Yeah, except that you're not.
Unless you're an insider of the Mueller team, you can't back up that statement. And if you are, explain how come you can't spell his name.
No, Stone didn’t collude with the Russians. The entire collusion narrative is a colossal hoax. Obama and his administration tried to take out Trump as a candidate, President-elect, and as a sitting President. It is the biggest political scandal in the history of the Republic. The only real unknown is whether these traitors will be held accountable.
So it’s of no consequence that Mueller is illegitimately going after Corsi because Corsi just wants to sell some books?
What are his charges or crimes...I’m clueless.
He knows a guy who knows a guy who supported Trump.
So...I’m just a dumb ol’country boy...
From the article:
“Mueller’s team believes that Corsi was an intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and that both he and Stone knew in advance that the whistleblower site was preparing to release emails late in the 2016 presidential election cycle damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager, John Podesta.”
Apart from how he may have gotten his hands on these emails, what is illegal here?
Since Trump winning the election is an impeachable offense, anybody who supported him must be a criminal.
LOL. If a typo is proof for you, then I guess you got me. Actually, my German mother in law was a Müller. Mueller anglicized his name rather than use the umlaut.
I have followed every jot an tittel of the Comey/Mueller Russian investigation and Hillary email cases, including reading all the available source documents. It has been obvious to me that Mueller is using the 34 page Steele dossier as his roadmap to get Trump. He is desperately trying to verify at least partially, the allegations contained in that document. It is the only salvation for Comey, Strzok, McCabe, Baker, Ohr, Brennan, Clapper, etc. to justify what they did. We all know it was just a pretext to take down Trump. Giuliani called Brennan the "quarterback" of this coup attempt.
Mueller racking up multiple counts of suborning perjury.
I bought two of Corsi's books, Unfit for Command and The Obama Nation. He is a good writer who documents his claims well. That said, he is a prodigious producer of books who is an aggressive self-promoter. His latest book, Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump was released this year. Maybe he is trying to boost book sales.
Corsi's best book is Unfit for Command, which he co-wrote with John O'Neill. Along with the Swift boat vets, the book took down Kerry, whom I have always detested since my service in Vietnam. His meetings with the North Vietnamese in Paris were the stuff of treason and his testimony before Congress on Vietnam was disgusting. So I give Corsi high marks for his efforts in exposing that bastard, Kerry.
I think you are on to something 34. All these people are on the hook for using the fake dossier to get and renew FISA warrants. He is trying to suborn perjury to verify one or more items in the dossier. Don’t do it!!!!!
Verification of the Steele Dossier, if only just portions of it, is absolutely critical in justifying, even retroactively, the actions of the Obama Administration and Deep State and in legitimizing the Mueller investigation.
The notion that the dossier is discredited, debunked, etc. doesn’t ring true with Democrats and the Mueller team. Their expectation is that Mueller will produce evidence of Trump “collusion” or conspiracy with Russia and/or obstruction of justice using the dossier as the linchpin. These expectations are fueled by the statements of Democrats in Congress and former high-ranking intelligence officials like John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey who imply they have knowledge of incriminating evidence against Trump not known publicly.
Given the highly partisan composition of the Mueller investigative team, does anyone doubt that key Democrats have been privy to what is going on inside the investigation? On June 22, 2018 Senator Mark Warner during a dinner at his house on Martha’s Vineyard as part of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s annual Majority Trust retreat, per Politico, said:
“If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months.”
Warner is the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Passing his comments off as a joke is nonsense. Quoting Shakespeare in King Lear, “Jesters do oft prove prophets.”
President Trump responded on June 25th, via Twitter saying, “Why is Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), perhaps in a near drunken state, claiming he has information that only he and Bob Mueller, the leader of the 13 Angry Democrats on a Witch Hunt, knows? Isn’t this highly illegal. Is it being investigated?”
The 35 page Steele dossier is really a series of intelligence memoranda beginning June 20, 2016 and ending on December 13, 2016. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for its production using GPS Fusion and the law firm of Perkins Coie. The putative author of the dossier is Christopher Steele, a former MI-6 intelligence officer who was deemed credible by the FBI based on his previous work with them on the FIFA scandal.
In order to be effective, even a contrived operations research propaganda piece must contain some elements of truth that can be verified and expanded upon along with a patina of believability. Steele did not construct the dossier out of whole cloth. He had to have a framework to build his narrative and some direction from GPS Fusion as to the predicate (deliverables) for his investigation. What sources were used? What was Nellie Ohr’s role in supplying information? Was she a conduit to not only pass information from Steele to DOJ and the FBI, but also, to pass intelligence from DOJ and the FBI to Steele and GPS Fusion? Nellie Ohr obtained a ham radio operator’s license not long after she was hired by GPS Fusion. Why?
With the release of the heavily redacted, October 26, 2016 FISA application on Carter Page, it is clear that the dossier and its author played a central, if not indispensable role, in obtaining the authorization to monitor Carter Page and the entire Trump campaign and transition teams and a sitting President.
It also acted as the catalyst/pretext for the FBI to initiate a counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016 despite the fable that George Papadopolous was the original impetus. Moreover, the FBI continued its efforts to verify the dossier during the Trump transition to and assumption of the Presidency and even after Mueller was appointed as special counsel. As more information comes out about Bruce Ohr’s role as the go between Steele and the FBI (and perhaps Mueller), it demonstrates the intensity of the FBI’s frantic obsession to verify the dossier.
Beyond addressing the allegations contained in the dossier, there needs to be an extensive analysis of the basic premises contained in the document. The Mueller investigation is doing the work that the FBI should have done before using the dossier as the basis for a FISA warrant.
The infamous Steele dossier alleges that:
-Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance
-So far TRUMP has declined various sweetener real estate business deals offered him in Russia in order to further the Kremlin’s cultivation of him. However he and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.
The following additional details were included:
Speaking to a trusted compatriot in June 2016 sources A and B, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure and a former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin respectively, the Russian authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican presidential candidate, Donald TRUMP for at least 5 years. Source B asserted that the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir PUTIN. Its aim was to sow discord and disunity both within the US itself, but more especially within the Transatlantic alliance which was viewed as inimical to Russia’s interests.
The Steele dossier was written in 2016 making 2011 as the approximate timeframe for the alleged beginning of the cultivation and support of Donald Trump by the Kremlin. What was happening in 2011 that might cause Donald Trump to be a lightning rod for the ire of the Obama administration and/or a target of the Russians?
In the Spring of 2011, Trump began his public questioning of Barack Obama’s birth certificate as well as his college and passport records. Trump tweeted 67 times hectoring Obama about his failure to disclose these documents and even offering on October 24, 2012 $5 million to a charity of Obama’s choosing if he “opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records”
Ultimately, Trump forced Obama to present the electronic version of the long form of his birth certificate, which heretofore the media said didn’t exist.
Obama has been fixated to the point of being an obsession on the “birther” issue. His thin skin and immense ego were clearly in play when he ridiculed Donald Trump who was in the audience at the 2011 White House Correspondents dinner. Did the Obama administration initiate an FBI file on Donald Trump in 2011 or earlier? Was information in that file provided to Nellie Ohr or Steele?
He'd have to indict himself! He's the one that smuggled uranium samples to Russia to deliver to the U1 buyers.
