Brilliant. That's not going to help his chances for a pardon.Conservative author and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi agreed in a new interview that he "absolutely" intended to help President Trump's campaign by trying to get stolen Hillary Clinton emails from Wikileaks.
Appearing Wednesday on Ari Melber's MSNBC show, Corsi was grilled about his involvement in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's election interference and possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow in 2016.

Corsi said he would have loved to see the emails, saying “I was happy to do it and I was happy that it would benefit Donald Trump.”

Good luck with that.Draft court documents from the special counsel’s team obtained by The Hill show that prosecutors allege that Corsi made false statements during a Sept. 6 interview. The documents claim that Corsi initially told investigators that he declined a request from an individual, whom Corsi identified as Roger Stone, to get in touch with WikiLeaks about "pending ... emails."
However, the documents state that Corsi later replied to Stone, “Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I’m back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging," appearing to refer to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In his interview with Melber he made it clear that Stone, a former Trump campaign adviser, and Assange were the people in question.

Earlier this week, Corsi said he had rejected a plea deal from Muller on a charge of lying to federal investigators, claiming that he did not believe he willfully lied.
He spiked Trump's blood pressure, as evidenced in this morning's tweets. I'm surprised His Lardship didn't insist Corsi was just a coffee boy. He will of course, deny any knowledge of or connection with the man.
