Conservative author Jerome Corsi on Monday filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.
The complaint, which Corsi had threatened for days, is the latest escalation between Mueller’s team and its investigation targets.
The 78-page document, asserting the existence of a “slow-motion coup against the president,” was filed to a range of top law enforcement officials including Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, D.C.’s U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and the Bar Disciplinary Counsel.
“Dr. Corsi has been criminally threatened and coerced to tell a lie and call it the truth,” the complaint states.

From a 3rd party to this conversation .... Very interesting, I was unaware. Please correct my interpretation where needed.
So an individual may file a complaint, but only a prosecutor can file charges? In this context, the charges would be an “action” in criminal court?
How does that work with grand juries?
How does that work with civil lawsuits?
“We need a special counsel to investigate this!!!!”
I wholeheartedly agree, one with unlimited scope and power and a blank paycheck..
Wish it was Fitton leading this legal team
I am not a lawyer so I am not in this fight. However, I noticed that Fox News said that Corsi’s legal team filed the complaint and [Fox] did not limit it to anything less than what is generally understood to be a criminal complaint.
There, I fixed it.
Why does the media label conservatives as conservatives but intentionally drop the matching modifier for liberals?
We all know the reason (because the media is liberal themselves) but it's time they stopped and we started pushing back like Corsi is doing.
Good for him.
He doesn’t sound much different to how authorities operate in Egypt.
You’re close, Tax, but to clear up the confusion I’d drop the word “file.” If you call the cops and orally tell them a crime occurred you haven’t “filed” anything. Also ditch the synonym for reporting a crime: “press charges.” You can report the crime, but there will be no court case unless the prosecutor chooses to file a complaint with the court. By the same token, sometimes, especially in cases of domestic violence, the prosecutor will file a court case even if the victim doesn’t want them to.
To use common phrases, I’d put it this way “Anybody can report a crime, but only a prosecutor can press charges by commencing a criminal court case.”
Grand juries only deal with the cases that are brought to them. Once they issue an indictment, it is filed with the court by the prosecutor, because only the prosecutor has standing to start a court criminal case. Civil is completely different: anyone who has a claim has standing to file a lawsuit in his own name.
That's what I was thinking. Turn the tables on that rat bastard and make him answer to a Judge for his criminal conduct.
God bless Corsi!
Amen!
Paul Manaford was/is a scumbag who helped get Putin's stooge elected president of the Ukraine. Flynn was another POS with ties to Putin.
Nov 23, 2017
Paul Manafort had taken 18 trips to Moscow and was in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s allies for more than a decade before running President Trump’s 2016 election campaign, a new report said Thursday.
Manafort, who was indicted by a federal grand jury last month on 12 counts including conspiracy against the United States, had also taken at least 19 trips to Kiev to work with a pro-Kremlin political faction before joining Trump’s team, McClatchy reported.
The news outlet cited flight records they obtained from Ukrainian authorities as well as intelligence gathered from current and foreign government officials. The new evidence suggests Manafort’s ties to the Kremlin go much deeper than previously thought.
Even after the February 2014 fall of Ukraine’s pro-Moscow President Viktor Yanukovych, Manafort continued to go to Kiev another 19 times in fewer than two years while working for the smaller, pro-Russian Opposition Block party, McClatchy reported.
Some have suggested Manafort had been turned into an asset acting on Moscow’s behalf.
“You can make a case that all along he ...was either working principally for Moscow, or he was trying to play both sides against each other just to maximize his profits,” Daniel Fried, a former assistant secretary of state who communicated with Manafort during Yanukovych’s reign in President George W. Bush’s second term, told McClatchy.
“He’s at best got a conflict of interest and at worst is really doing Putin’s bidding,” Fried, now a fellow with the Atlantic Council, said.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated a uranium exchange with Russian law enforcement by former FBI Director (and current chief Deep State inquisitor) Robert Mueller.
The exchange was exposed via a recent Wikileaks publication of a secret cable between Hillary’s State Department and the Russian embassy.
Hillary sent Mueller to Moscow with orders to turn over a 10 gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) which was obtained during a shadowy 2006 nuclear “sting” operation conducted in the Georgian Republic.
The ostensible reason for the transfer was to engender further trust between Russian and American law enforcement in the area of nuclear materials and to learn more about how to trace nuclear materials.
But when it comes to Hillary and Russian uranium interests, the shady Uranium One deal cannot pass unnoted.
There still has been no real investigation into how Hillary gave permission for a Russian company to acquire a quarter of the North American uranium reserves after Russian interests poured hundreds of millions into the Clinton Foundation and gave Bill Clinton six figure speaking fees.
At the very least, this exchange raises serious questions about the ability of Robert Mueller to do his job as special prosecutor on the Russian collusion charges since he already has connections to major figures in Russian law enforcement.

We all know that the Russian Collusion investigation is nothing but a game to try and distract the population from actually caring about the day to day running of the country, but the charade has gone too far and some serious questions need to be asked; most especially of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
WikiLeaks has put out a document that details then FBI Director Mueller’s itinerary on his visit to Russia to deliver 10 grams of Enriched Uranium.
One more time for those who missed it…Mueller hand delivered Highly Enriched Uranium to the Russian government!

CNN non-stop coverage of this begins in 3... 2... yeah, never.
In other words, you can't prosecute the crown unless the crown deigns to allow itself to be prosecuted.
Corsi’s are pure BRASS!
Sovereign immunity. Oldie but a goodie. 1000 years and going strong. Most commonly seen today in the great limits placed on the circumstances under which one can civilly sue the government
As far as I’m concerned, Trump shouldn’t even give the Mueller-Weissman gang a month. He should demand the report within 72 hours, after which all funding and governmental support will be cut off.
The ugly, dirty truth is that this is standard procedure in our justice system. Guilt doesn't matter, the prosecutor's goal is to "win" regardless of your innocence. Anything goes. Threats, intimidation, lying, anything. They will go after family, friends, job, reputation, your financial well being. Prosecutors and Police are worshiped as pillars of society and guilt is presumed. Refuse a plea deal at your own peril, unless you are rich and connected...
It's hard to agree with those who claim the USA has the best justice system in the world. It looks great on paper though...
Judicial Watch seemed to become effective only after he left.

Very true, in fact “Judicial Watch” under Klayman got no respect .... if you saw JW back in those days, it was more of a “yeah, yeah” response because you knew it would amount to nothing, sort of like when you see Klayman’s name on a lawsuit now. It was a rancorous parting of ways between Klayman & Fitton, but JW is now respected and Fitton garners respect as well. Due to JW’s lawsuits, they’ve certainly made a huge difference in the amount of knowledge the public has about ‘things’
The “dirty laundry”:

Of course he is. His bogus “Russian collusion” already influenced the mid-terms.
