Jerome Corsi's ill-advised tour of cable news shows continues, with a stop over at MSNBC's "The Beat" with Ari Melber. What started off as a nice and friendly chat ended with Melber flatly stating that Corsi lies, is a liar, lies all the time, lies about his lies and continues to lie. He even dove into Corsi's insane "birther" conspiracy theory.
Corsi admitted to Ari that he did know about the types of emails that Julian Assange and Wikileaks had, but he swears that it just "came to him" while he was on an airplane with his wife heading to a vacation in Europe. Somehow he just *sensed it*. Ari wasn't having it. He then, and this is where is gets dicey for him legally, admitted to Ari that he lied about everything at first and that he coordinated with Roger Stone but he swears he is telling the truth now.
Directly following the interview, Melber convened a panel of brilliant legal minds to decipher Corsi's interview and talk about how much legal jeopardy he really is in. Nick Akerman, of Watergate fame, had some excellent points to make.
First, a clip from just moments before where Corsi admitted to the Grand Jury that he had lied.
CORSI: In front of the Grand Jury, Aaron Zelinsky said "Doctor Corsi, was that a lie?" I said "was this a lie? yes." So I openly admitted to them that in their terms this was a lie.
MELBER: Why did you do that?
CORSI: Because it was the truth.
MELBER: And why did Roger Stone want you to lie about the Podesta information?
