Right-wing author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi stared down the barrel of a criminal charge and has up to now emerged relatively unscathed as far as Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. Corsi doubled down on Wednesday on a strategy that has become more and more apparent as the days go on — a strategy of completely distancing himself from Roger Stone.
Corsi, who first accused Mueller of attempting to force him into a lie about his communications with Stone, most recently claimed Stone tried to give him a stroke and threatened him to keep him from testifying about WikiLeaks. Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson was already considering imposing a gag order on Stone, but Corsi and his attorney Larry Klayman on Wednesday put together an amicus brief specifically to shut Stone up.
