Corsi Casts Himself As Right-Wing Martyr Pursued By Mueller Probe 'Thugs'

As over the top as ever, conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi has told multiple news outlets that he had refused a plea bargain from special counsel and alleged deep state factotum Robert Mueller.


“They want me to say I willfully lied,” he reportedly told NBC. “I’m not going to agree that I lied. I did not. I will not lie to save my life. I’d rather sit in prison and rot for as long as these thugs want me to.”

Corsi – a famously unreliable conspiracy theorist who pushed the birther conspiracy theory under Obama and assisted in the “swift-boating” of John Kerry in 2004 – said two weeks ago that Mueller would indict him for perjury in two days.

Corsi has not yet been indicted. Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment.

The former Infowars DC bureau chief’s remarks said that the purported perjury charge is related to whether he saw Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in the summer of 2016.

and immediately ignore everything that such a person says.

Corsi, like Stone, are both spoiled brats who think they themselves are above the law, and think that they can do no wrong. Lying to the FBI is a crime, period. Other crimes that they may be guilty of? Who knows but I suspect that lying to the FBI is just the tip of the iceberg, knowing these two spoiled brats (I saw the documentary on Stone on Netflix too).

And calling those who uphold the law as 'thugs' certainly paints Corsi in a light that I think is disgusting and tells all far more about Corsi then I think he intended. Mouthing off doesn't do him any good as I think he'll find out soon/shortly.

Donnie is the only one who gets to be the martyr. Donnie won't share the spotlight.

without facing a perjury charge. This can't be a good sign! What's next? Persecuting patriots for selling the country to the Russians?"
