The conservative writer and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi filed a lawsuit on Sunday accusing special counsel Robert Mueller of blackmailing him to lie about President Donald Trump in the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The suit, which seeks $350 million in actual and punitive damages in U.S. District Court in Washington, was filed six days after Corsi entered a formal complaint with the Justice Department alleging prosecutorial misconduct by Mueller.

Corsi, 72, the former Washington bureau chief of the conspiracy website InfoWars, accuses Mueller's office of having illegally leaked secret information from the grand jury investigating Russian election interference.

The suit also accuses the special counsel's office of having threatened him with prison unless he agreed to testify falsely that he served as a liaison between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and the Republican political strategist Roger Stone, who was an adviser to Trump's presidential campaign.

NBC News reported last month that Corsi sent an email alerting Stone that WikiLeaks planned to release damaging information about emails stolen from John Podesta, who was chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — two months before WikiLeaks actually did so.

1. Isnt this Trump 101

Muddy the waters, duck & dodge, draw cases out as long as possible. I cant see this case being taken seriously by anyone outside of the MAGA cult and thats all they're trying to hold on to at this point.

[calimary]

2. How I would dearly love seeing this bastard taken down.

[PJMcK]

3. Corsi is a jackass

Doesn't he realize that a lawsuit will open him up to discovery?

Jerk.

[duforsure]

4. This is being done to

Try to undermine anything they can by discovery.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

40. This will backfire on him.

Corsi, like Stone, thinks he is so much smarter than he actually is. He's flailing here.

[Racerdog1]

5. Good luck with that

You fat fucking tub of shit. Get off your knees and wipe that double chin asshole.

[Xipe Totec]

6. Right

[Scarsdale]

7. Meritless claims.

I hope he loses his entire wealth. He should have been prosecuted years ago for slandering the Clintons and the Obamas. Just like tRump a fat blowhard, full of his own importance. He probably thinks all the gop donors will flock to send him $$$ to pay for this fiasco. Oh well, anything to keep his name in the newspapers. Roger Stone did not have much luck with his Go Fund Me attempts to raise money for his legal fees. Mueller and all who work for him are much too professional to try bribing people, especially people dumb enough to support tRump and his Russian friends.

[watoos]

8. Lock the bastard up,

The sob trashed John Kerry's service in Vietnam to help a deserter, then he trashed Barack Obama's citizenship.

What goes around comes around. I stole this from another poster, Welcome to the karma café, there is no menu, you get what you deserve.

Get some expensive lawyers, maybe traitor Dershowich will take your case?

[PatSeg]

9. Whoa, that is hysterical

Do these clowns have any idea how ridiculous they look?

[Vinca]

10. He realizes he'll be deposed under oath . . . right??

[YessirAtsaFact]

11. I suspect the suit will be dropped

Relatively soon.

It’s a publicity stunt

[SunSeeker]

12. This should not survive a motion to dismiss.

And should result in Rule 11 sanctions as a frivolous filing composed of claims utterly devoid of evidentiary support.

Hopefully there is a good judge assigned.

[watoos]

13. The only judge who would rule in favor of Corsi is judge Jeannine.

[True Blue American]

15. Another Larry Klayman

Joke of a suit. Been out of the lime light for a while. No one will hire Larry.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. His lawyer is Larry Klayman. Res ipsa loquitur.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

41. Are you serious ????

Has Klayman had a SECOND "Come to Jesus" moment ?!

[tavernier]

14. Right up there with my lawsuit against the Post Office

who keep sending me monthly bills from my credit card company, AT&T and car insurance. My life would be much easier if these bills would stop arriving!

[True Blue American]

16. LOL.

[watoos]

20. Superb analogy, well done.

[True Blue American]

17. Why doesn't the article

Mention it is Larry Klayman filing the suit? Another crack pot.

[Javaman]

18. with Larry Klayman as his lawyer, I'm surprised the amount isn't 1 brazillion dollars. LOL nt

[Javaman]

19. bluff and bluster...

he's trying to be that guy who "stands up" for the crazy asshole nut job conspiracy little man, but launching an outrageous baseless lawsuit.

this is more about smoke and mirrors and promoting himself than it has for actually doing anything of merit.

this will quickly unravel under even the mildest form of scrutiny.

he's a pathetic little man with virtually nothing to show for his life.

[Texin]

21. The sitting judge will likely toss it out as meritless and laugh in his counselor's* face.

[hotrod0808]

22. If this goes forward

discovery is going to be lit. I don't think Corsi understands fully what happens in the process. If it is thrown out as frivolous, I don't think he understands how much trouble he is in for further obstructing the criminal investigation against him. Either way, this is the dumbest fucking thing he could do right now, and that anyone ever considered him a genius just cracks me up.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I don't think it will survive a motion to dismiss

or a Rule 11 motion against that idiot Larry Klayman, who should have been disbarred years ago.

[pnwmom]

23. If this is the idiot move I think it is, I love it! nt

[Sneederbunk]

28. All Corsi moves are idiot moves.

[SWBTATTReg]

24. Are all of these people in rump's circle idiots? Seriously, where does he dig up this crap? nt

[Turbineguy]

25. Here's a lawsuit

the deplorables can get behind. After all, it's their money too.

[Wounded Bear]

29. This kind of shit works in small claims civil court...

Somehow, trying to sue DoJ will not end well for them.

[Thomas Hurt]

30. So what criminal, immoral or vile act did Corsi do that could be used to blackmail him?

[jmowreader]

39. Corsi is blackmail-proof

He's such a piece of shit, no matter how bad an allegation you raised against him the general consensus would be, "yeah, okay...he would do that...BFD."

[Haggis for Breakfast]

43. This !

[UpInArms]

31. Larry Klayman

Full on hack

[SayItLoud]

32. WHO is paying Corsi's LEGAL bills?????????????????? nt

[padah513]

33. Didn't he say one time that he wanted to fight Mueller?

[Jim Lane]

34. It might well survive a motion to dismiss -- and it probably should

On a motion to dismiss, the judge must assume the truth of all the well-pleaded allegations in the complaint.

I haven't read the complaint, but, based on the linked article, it seems to have adequate allegations. If a prosecutor violates grand jury rules, and/or threatens a witness in an attempt to suborn perjury from that witness, those acts seem to me to be wrongs that would support a remedy.

Of course, if Corsi gets past a motion to dismiss, it's then that his troubles really begin. He no longer gets the benefit of the assumption that his allegations are true. He's entitled to discovery, to try to prove them, but the defendants are entitled to discovery as well. He sued in the District of Columbia so, if it does go to trial, the jury will be drawn from a heavily Democratic pool.

So, bottom line, there might not be a dismissal, but this well not end well for Corsi.

[Sophiegirl]

35. Oh Lordy!!!

You know there are tapes that will prove no such blackmail occurred.

[FakeNoose]

36. So now Corsi's lawyers will be disbarred for filing nuisance lawsuits

Then what's his next step? Maybe he'll fire his lawyers and represent himself.

[Nitram]

38. I'm surprised any lawyer would support this far-fetched and desperate attempt.

[Nitram]

37. LOL! He thinks the plea bargain will be found to be a form of blackmail?

[lindysalsagal]

42. Mel Brooks couldn't write it any better.

All they're missing is a deranged mad scientist, a bad western ghost town set and a horse.
