The Perjury Trap
First off, what is perjury? See that line in the teeny tiny type near the one where you’re supposed to sign a legal document (like a tax form or an insurance or loan application) that says, “I attest the above statements are true under penalty of law.”? Yeah, well, people go to jail for that …

The Pipes Are Calling For The Donny Boys

Stone’s Time In The Barrel?
So yesterday was all Manafort all the time. Today may very well be Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi. Jerome Corsi was a Soldier in the Stone Gang, senior enough to be trusted with a major continuing operation like disposing of stolen goods from a burglary but not a decision maker. Puzzled by my use of …
