Jerome Corsi Decries ‘Political Witch Hunt’ to Tucker Carlson: ‘Completely Rigged,’ Driven by ‘Clinton Operatives’

Jerome Corsi, the Roger Stone associate and conspiracy theorist under intense scrutiny by Robert Mueller, appeared with Tucker Carlson tonight to denounce the “political witch hunt” against him.

A draft court document obtained by the Washington Post reveals that Corsi and Stone emailed in 2016 about the WikiLeaks email dumps.

Carlson––who prefaced the interview with a short monologue sympathetic to Corsi and asking how Mueller himself would fare under the standard he set––brought up things he’s read in the media about Corsi before asking, “Do you think that your political views are playing a role in the decision of the special counsel to charge you with a felony?”

Corsi immediately responded, “Yes… This is a political witch hunt.”

He continued on to say, “It’s completely rigged and it’s politically-driven by Clinton operatives who have an agenda. And if you can’t give them––Roger’s right––if you can’t give them what they’re looking for to fill their narrative, they blow you up and charge you with a crime.”
