InfoWars Birther Jerome Corsi Accidentally Forwards Drug Scam To Federal Prosecutor

Politics 5/02/20 6:30 am Read time: 4 minutes



Professional conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi just earned himself a whole new investigation when he accidentally sent an email to the wrong person.
By Mark Sumner

Even in the midst of the greatest disaster in a century, there are flickers of light. And when those glimmers include both right-wing dirty trickster Jerome Corsi and a fake COVID-19 cure huckster earning themselves a new federal investigation solely on the basis of Corsi being blatantly careless, those moments can get refreshingly bright.

Right-wing agent provocateur Corsi is probably best known for his connection to Roger Stone and his involvement in trying to leverage a relationship with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. He’s also known for suing special counsel Robert Mueller for $350 million, and for how a federal judge promptly tossed that ridiculous lawsuit. But despite losing his case in 2019, and despite the special counsel’s office being officially closed for months, Corsi apparently left the phone number of one of Mueller’s prosecutors in his list of phone contacts. That turned out to be a mistake.

Thanks to his cluttered contact list, Corsi has really outdone himself to find a way to get back on the radar of federal prosecutors. Because when he meant to be exchanging messages with faux coronavirus expert Vladimir “Zev” Zelenko, Corsi’s thumb apparently missed the right entry in his address list by just one name. Instead of the Fox-favorite Zelenko, Corsi ended up actually sending information to federal prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky—a former member of Robert Mueller’s team. And now Corsi has earned himself a whole new investigation.

As The Washington Post reports, Corsi’s communications that were intended for Zelenko involved the pair’s supposed partnership in a website to “connect doctors and patients.” But considering the nature of both participants, it’s unlikely that site was going to be a legitimate medical hub. In fact, there’s just one topic where the two men have been united: spreading the gospel of hydroxychloroquine.
