Jerome Corsi, a conservative author and conspiracy theorist, said Sunday that he would be happy to testify against Roger Stone and let his testimony about what occurred during the 2016 presidential election and whether anyone coordinated with WikiLeaks' efforts to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign "speak for itself."

"I will be happy to testify if — I would suspect to be subpoenaed," Corsi told CNN host Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "And I will let the testimony fall wherever it falls. I'm going to tell the truth, to the best of my ability" ...

1. What we learnt from Stone's indictment

Kadhim Shubber in London 7 HOURS AGO

... “A senior Trump campaign official was directed to contact Stone about any additional releases and what other damaging information Organization 1 had regarding the Clinton campaign,” claims Mr Mueller.

The senior official is unnamed, and no reference is made as to who allegedly “directed” them to tap Mr Stone for information on WikiLeaks.

In October, shortly before the release of the Podesta emails, Mr Stone had further conversations with a different, “high-ranking” Trump official, according to the indictment. The official was Steve Bannon, who had joined the campaign in August 2016, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder who lives in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, had held a press conference on October 4, but did not publish any new documents that would damage the Clinton campaign. Soon after, Mr Bannon emailed Mr Stone asking: “What was that this morning???”, according to a copy of the emails published last year by the New York Times ...

2. Stand-up Comic Could Help Put Stone in Prison

By David Freedlander

It is the Wednesday after the midterms, and comedian and longtime New York political stuntman Randy Credico is smoking an e-cigarette at the Friars Club bar, expounding on his theory that the president of the United States is addicted to crystal meth.

“The guy is tweeting out stuff at like three o’clock in the morning,” he tells anyone who would listen. “When I was doing doing cocaine and drinking at the three in the morning, I would be doing that.” He is wearing a green tie that comes down about midway down his torso, a rumpled sport coat, stained blue pants, and glasses perched on top of his head ...

... When asked by the media, Stone at first said his source was “a good mutual friend” of both himself and Assange. Stone now says his information about the WikiLeaks dump came from Credico — who is indeed a friend (of sorts, anyway) of both men. In practical terms that means Credico is at the dead center of Mueller’s probe: If Stone was actively in the loop on what was happening inside WikiLeaks, and communicated that to Trump, it certainly would appear to constitute collusion. If Credico was indeed the source of that information to Stone, things suddenly look more benign (relatively, anyhow).

According to Credico, Stone calling him his WikiLeaks source is “a complete lie.” Credico says his only interaction with Assange before the election was to have him on his radio show on New York’s progressive WBAI, something that his friend and lawyer Margaret Ratner Kunstler helped set up. Credico also had Stone on his program, where he publicly asked Stone who his WikiLeaks back channel was and Stone refused to tell him. When Credico appeared before the Senate and House intel committees, he took the Fifth, although he says he will set the record straight the next time he appears before them. He told me that he repeated the story of his limited interactions with Assange to Robert Mueller’s grand jury ...
