Mueller’s Office Reportedly Has 2016 Emails from Jerome Corsi to Roger Stone About WikiLeaks Email Dumps

 

Jerome Corsi, Roger Stone associate and noted conspiracy theorist, is currently in the spotlight (and under scrutiny by Robert Mueller‘s office) over his connections to Stone, and based on some new reporting the two communicated about the WikiLeaks email dumps in 2016.

Per NBC News, which obtained draft court papers sent to Corsi by Mueller’s office, Corsi said Stone “asked him in the summer of 2016 to get in touch with an organization, identified by Corsi as WikiLeaks, about unreleased materials relevant to the presidential campaign”:

“Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails,” read the email to Corsi dated July 25, 2016, according to the draft court documents.

Corsi said he declined the request and made clear to Stone that an attempt to contact WikiLeaks could put them in investigators’ crosshairs, according to the draft court documents.

But Mueller’s team said that was a lie.

Instead of turning down the request, Corsi in fact passed it along to a person in London, according to the draft court documents.

Days later, on August 2nd, Corsi apparently emailed Stone, “Time to let more than (Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta) to be exposed as in bed w enemy if they are not ready to drop HRC (Hillary Rodham Clinton). That appears to be the game hackers are now about.”

Corsi publicly claimed yesterday he’s refusing to sign the plea deal offered by Mueller. A few days ago, Stone dismissed the idea that Corsi has anything that could implicate him.
