Witness in special counsel probe, former Stone associate, collected payments from Infowars...(Corsi)
WaPo ^ | January 24, 2019 | Manuel Roig-Franzia and Rosalind S. Helderman

Complete title: "Witness in special counsel probe, former Stone associate, collected payments from Infowars through job Stone arranged"

Over the past several months, author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi has emerged as one of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s most vexing witnesses in his probe of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.

Corsi — perhaps best known for promoting the false idea that former president Barack Obama was not born in the United States — has released internal special counsel documents, fulminated against alleged plea-deal offers and published a hastily written e-book outlining his account of interactions with his onetime ally, the longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, a subject of intense scrutiny in Mueller’s probe.

At the same time, Corsi says, he has been collecting what he describes as $15,000-a-month payments from Infowars, a website that has attacked the special counsel investigation as a deep-state conspiracy designed to topple President Trump.

An attorney for Infowars confirmed that these payments continued for the past six months as severance since Corsi lost his post as the website’s Washington bureau chief — a job that Stone helped arrange, according to both Corsi and Stone.

The revelation of Corsi’s arrangement with Infowars offers new context to the now-frayed relationship between Corsi and Stone, and how the on-again, off-again alliance between two of America’s foremost conspiracy theorists has drawn the attention of Mueller’s investigators.

Investigators have also asked questions about Corsi’s payments from Infowars, according to a person familiar with the special counsel investigation. Mueller’s team appears to be exploring whether the payments were made to ensure that Corsi would offer investigators a version of events favorable to Stone, the person said.

"Corsi — perhaps best known for promoting the false idea that former president Barack Obama was not born in the United States..."

Once again, WaPo alleged journalists strike out. Corsi went to Kenya and barely got out with his life trying to verify claims first planted by Clinton supporters that Obama was born there! Proof that Obama was actually born anywhere does not yet exist, of course, so the MSM must attempt to destroy Corsi even before getting to the Wikileaks-Mueller probe!

Ping to WaPo beating up on Jerome Corsi again and leading with his supposedly “false idea that former president Barack Obama was not born in the United States...”

Corsi did freelance work for InfoWars and was compensated for his efforts.

So what?

O.K. where is the Russian Collusion(TM)? .... oh forgot, this is about bringing down a duly-elected President that is not part of the New World Order.

Forgot about that.

From the looks of it, it appears that Corsi has taken advantage of his dealings with the Mueller team by writing articles and a book about it. That nonsense a few months ago where he was claiming that he was about to be indicted was probably just a publicity stunt to generate website hits and book sales. LOL.

So they uncovered the deep dark secret of somebody getting some severance payments after leaving a job? What’s next...are we going to find out that somebody who visited the Trump white house got a hair cut later that day, and not only paid the barber but left a tip?

This is a hypnotic trigger aimed at people preprogrammed to have an emotional reaction to InfoWars.

If you didn’t consume the preprogramming, it will seem like a complete non-sequitur.

Mueller is still trying to get Corsi to flip so he can nail Stone and then get Stone to flip so he can nail Trump all based on proving that somehow Stone and Corsi helped stage the “perfect” Wikileaks release of the Podesta emails in October 2016 that tanked Hillary in the polls.

The release of the Wikileaks emails is considered to have been so exquisitely precise within the American political context of the moment that the Russians or Julian Assange are not believed to have been able to time it by themselves to damage Hillaryso badly. Roger Stone, a genius political operative, or Jerome Corsi, likewise, are suspected of collaborating on the timing of the release by Mueller.

Is this in the special council’s purview????

This nut, Mueller, is investigating everyone but my grandmother.

He has got to be stopped.

The once great Washington Post is having orgasm over this stupid story.

Where are the “hair on fire” duo of Woodward and Bernstein when you need them.

I can remember every time a new corruption was discovered, concerning the Clinton White House Congressman Waxman would come out, face the cameras and say “So What?”

And that is what I am saying right now.

SO WHAT?????????????????

The Washington Post was NEVER “great.”

It has always been, and continues to be a leftist sh*t rag, barely worthy of being used to wipe the diarrhea from a dog’s butt hole.

You are correct that there is no proof where Obama was born, only a fraudulent jpg on the internet.
It does not matter where Obama was born, his foreign national father made him a British subject and a Kenyan national at birth, he is not a natural born citizen, natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they cannot be anything else, they have only ONE nationality.

So Kitty Kelly and that dingleberry with the forged TANG records worked for free? The media never did investigate the TANG financiers.

Donald Trump was interviewed on Infowars.

Nigel Farage has been interviewed on Infowars re the case for Brexit.

Marc Morano of Climate Depot, Lord Christopher Monckton have been interviewed on Inforwars, exposing the gloBULL warming hoax.

the big tech companies have been systematically trying to destroy Infowars.

FakeNewsMSM has been systematically trying to destroy Infowars.

Mueller’s team have attempted to destroy Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi - who both worked with Infowars during the 2026 election campaign.

do I detect a deep fear of the power of Infowars by the Deep State?

I have no idea why this is a front page story! But I love Corsi and only wish him the best. Glad he refused to roll over for Mueller.
