The Mueller probe continues to hurt people who clearly have no connection at all to Russian spying or Vladimir Putin.

Writer Jerome Corsi says Mueller’s prosecutors entrapped and then threatened him with prison, in an effort to make him compliant. Corsi says he has rejected a plea deal from Mueller and will be fighting back.

Plenty of others on television are confident that this – the Jerome Corsi connection – is finally is the big breakthrough, not at all like the other 10 or 20 breakthroughs that went nowhere:

Here’s how former Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont Governor Howard Dean put it on MSNBC:

"It is after all this time a pathway between Trump through Stone to Russian intelligence. The question now is, has he crossed the line legally? And it looks every day that this goes on that he has more and more."

And then there was this comment made about the Mueller probe by another pundit:

"The basic lay of the land is that you have a special counsel with an extremely strong hand – of which we are seeing a small piece..."

“A special counsel with an extremely strong hand” … crushing Jerome Corsi.

Jerome Corsi though has not backed down. Instead, on Monday, he filed a criminal complaint against Robert Mueller. He alleges gross misconduct by the special prosecutor's office.
