Fire, Not Smoke

WASHINGTON - OCTOBER 14:  Aryo Pirouznia, coordinator of the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran (SMCCDI), speaks during a news conference at the National Press Club October 14, 2004 in Washington, DC. Pirouznia said Hassan Nemazee, who has raised money for John Kerry's presidential campaign, filed a $10 million lawsuit in a Texas court charging the SMCCDI and Pirouznia with libeling him by suggesting he is a supporter of the Islamist regime in Iran. Pirouznia claims that the lawsuit s frivolous and has filed a counter suit. With him are his attorney Bob Jenevein (C) and author Jerome Corsi.   (Photo by Matthew Cavanaugh/Getty Images)

Jerome Corsi is a professional liar and a volatile one at that. But the Post is reporting that he is now in negotiations to plea agreement with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. If that’s true, if it happens, that will likely bring him significantly closer to Roger Stone (who I strongly suspect Mueller already has more than enough information on to indict). And that in turn should be a big step closer to unraveling what went on between the Trump campaign, Russia and Wikileaks. They’re all part of one big story.
