Last night, Jerome Corsi explained to Tucker Carlson and his audience how the Mueller team was able to charge him with lying to them in order to pressure him to (in his view) to give false testimony implicating Paul Manafort. It is a harrowing tale as he tells it. If you believe him, he is a victim of a ruthless team that took possession of his computer, smart phone, and other records, and then spent hours grilling him over details of his communications years earlier. When he failed to remember that he forwarded one email, they had him on a charge of lying, even though, as he told Tucker Carlson (rush transcript via Grabien):
Now the special counsel came in and blew up and they actually sent me home and gave me an opportunity to review the emails. When I came back, I amended the testimony to say that I now remember the email. The special counsel was happy with that until I couldn’t give them what they wanted. Which was a connection that I had with Assange, which they assumed I have come which I I didn’t have. Now suddenly, they forgot they allowed me to amend my testimony and they are going back to the mistake I made, when I forgot the emails. So really, I think, it is completely fraudulent, the charge that they were trying to get me to plead to. I refused to plead to a lie.

“you should never talk to police (or federal prosecutors)”
On Laura Ingraham, Sol Wisenberg said Corsi, Manafort, etc., shouldn’t have talked to Mueller. They didn’t have to talk to him. If they ended up in a Grand Jury situation, just plead the Fifth to every question. Done deal.
This is a fact. They convict you for lying even if you explain that you don’t remember correctly. This can only happen in a fascist dictatorship, which is the former United States of America.
We are not in a free country. If the federal government can take away your liberty and effectively your life over a statement on which they trap you, we have lost our freedom. Sweet land of liberty, bull$hit.
They have something on paper. They ask you about it. Your memory is inaccurate. You are convicted of “perjury” and go to jail for life.
Remember hillary: “I’m sorry, I don’t recall.” Marxist, ugly-a$$ old witch didn’t go to jail.
Martha Stewart, on the wrong side of left/right, went to jail for this.
I don’t understand why he didn’t just say that he was uncertain or couldn’t remember. I receive and send a huge lot of emails that may possibly get caught up in regulatory or legal discovery, and I certainly can’t tell you what I forwarded to who years ago. I would say that right off when questioned.
Actually, Martha Stewart is or has been a long-term dedicated leftist.
Everyone can do their own due diligence on Mueller’s history in the federal government; but it will show is that what Corsi is talking about is not at all new to Mueller. Instead of the title of prosecutor, Mueller’s history reflects more of that of a persecutor.
I believe if you re-read, he said he did not remember. They then let him go home with a request to review his emails, which he did and later testified that after review he did remember.
He then explains that because he would not agree he made other conduct they now claim they did not let him go review the emails and his conflicting testimony was a “lie” in the first instance.
Paging Sydney Powell.
“What we do today is different. But not that much.”...………
Simple to understand, it’s the end result that counts.
Is it possible to plead the fifth to avoid testifying and be granted limited immunity compelling said testimony? Failure to answer questions would then be seen as contempt resulting in confinement till testimony is given.
The Inquisition was not that cruel, or stupid.
They rarely tortured, and other than in a few cases where procedure was not followed, they were sticklers for due process.
This was a unique thing in sixteenth-seventeenth century Europe. The results are evident in, for instance, the rates of execution for religious crimes, such as witchcraft. Spain executed few witches over the period 1500-1700, a couple of dozen or so, compared to tens of thousands in Germany, and thousands in France and England. And it is a similar case in the body count for heretics and religious dissenters.
The Spanish Inquisition can be considered, above all, as an official brake on the tendency to official violence in a cruel age. The body counts are proof.
Much of the reputation of the Spanish Inquisition is the fallout of two centuries of official English and Continental Protestant propaganda during the great ideological conflicts of the Reformation, and moreover the great colonial-commercial rivalry between England and Spain. In Spanish historiography there is a term for this, the “leyenda negra”, the black legend.
There is NO controlling legal authority.
We need to get past the Mueller report. Then Whitaker hires Guiliani as special counsel.
Spend the next two years of the administration going after the Clinton Cabal.
Source?
Yep - double indemnity.....make a deal to get them to lie then hold those “lies” over their heads......”If you don’t lie for us, we’ll put you away forever.....now that you lied for us, we have proof that you lied and we may use it to put you away forever...”
After all these years and Corsi didn’t know to plead the 5th. I don’t get it.
DING DING DING DING DING
I was wondering when that was going to come up. I was reluctant.
Most of the negative reports I have read of the Inquisition involved their terrible treatment of Jews. Jews were forced to convert to Catholicism, and the Inquisition severely punished those whose conversions were not genuine.
Precisely so, and the number of such prosecutions and executions was remarkably small.
As for forcing conversions, it has to be remembered that this was allowed, and enthusiastically encouraged. Indeed, the first inquisitor himself, Torquemada, was the son of a converso.
In other lands when Jews were massacred or expelled they were rarely given a choice, the point being to get rid of the people. In Spain everthing was done to keep the people but expunge the religion. Spain even encouraged the return of expelled Jews, and mandated restoration of their property, on the condition that they converted.
Iberia (Spain and Portugal) had more Jews in the middle ages than anywhere else on earth probably, estimates run to 10% of the population. Nearly all were permitted to stay and convert (in Castile and Aragon) throughout the fifteenth century. The expulsion of the Jews was just the last part of a long-running process managed by the Spanish Church, to integrate the populations put in their hands by the reconquista. Of the Jewish remnant in 1492, 2/3 to 3/4 chose to convert and remain. The Spanish today are, overall, genetically very Jewish, of the Sephardic sort.
I believe I heard an American Intelligence Media reference to it and also saw it in writing somewhere, not sure now where.
Should have used the Hillary defense. I cant remember, I cant remember, I cant remember.
