The Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, his attorney, Larry Klayman, told The Hill on Friday.
The committee asked for both an interview and documents from the Roger Stone associate in a subpoena received Thursday, according to Klayman.
Corsi is a “birther”-promoting conservative commentator who came under scrutiny in the Russia investigation for comments he made suggesting he had advance knowledge that Wikileaks planned to release hacked Democratic emails in the summer of 2016. Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch, is best known for filing frivolous lawsuits against political figures and government agencies.
Klayman told The Hill that he plans to fight the “overly broad” subpoena, calling it the latest example of the “continued harassment” the committee has directed towards his client.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed several associates of Corsi and Stone in recent weeks, including Corsi’s stepson, Andrew Stettner.
Corsi and Stettner reportedly exchanged text messages about a computer of Corsi’s being “scrubbed.”
Suddenly, this is of interest to the GOP-led Senate?
Afraid the new House hearings are going to fully expose your complicity?
I remember the Iran-Contra investigation, or, rather, the prosecutions were hamstrung because witnesses were given immunity in exchange for their testimony before Congress. I really hope House and Senate grandstanders stay out of Mueller’s way. They’ll fuck everything up, I fear, if they get in before he’s done what he needs to do.
Corsi and Klayman, such a natural double play combination. All they need is Taitz and they’d have their Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance infield.
Feature, not a bug.
For two years, everyone has been speculating about how nuclear-dangerous it would be for Trump to pardon his confederates.
Voila! It wasn’t Trump, it was Congress! And it wasn’t offered as a bribe, or to obstruct justice, but as part of a legitimate Senate investigation!
So what if most of the villains escape all punishment, at least we finally know that nobody did anything wrong!
