The big challenge for conspiracy theorists is when their quack scenarios run up against a truth serum known as "the law." Chief birther and swiftboater Jerome Corsi is about to figure that out, but in the meantime he's making the most of his blissful ignorance with a new lawsuit targeting Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and National Security Agency for $350 million.
Corsi's complaint filed Sunday alleges that Mueller attempted to blackmail him into cooperating with a scheme designed to oust Donald Trump from the presidency. It also accuses Mueller of illegally leaking grand jury information that has smeared Corsi personally and professionally in an effort to "drive him into bankruptcy,” according to TPM's Josh Kovensky.
Corsi adds that his tribulations are part of a conspiracy “designed to remove the current president of the United States for political and other improper purposes, and therefore effectively wage a ‘legal coup d’etat,’ negating the will of the American voters who elected Donald J. Trump on November 6, 2016.”
Keep it up, Corsi, because suing the entire federal law enforcement and national security apparatus while the special counsel's office zeroes in on your involvement in the Russian conspiracy to steal the 2016 election is pure genius.
After rejecting a plea deal with Mueller several weeks ago, Corsi said publicly he expects to be indicted by the special counsel. He also leaked the draft agreement with Mueller, which detailed Corsi’s advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ Democratic email dumps and totally incriminated him. Also pure genius.
