Of?ce of the Special Counsel

Re: United States vs. Jerome Corsi, 

Dear Mr. Zalinsky,

As discussed, Dr. Corsi is still working out the details of the plea agreement with me and

we have questions and concerns regarding several categories 1) not reporting the plea to his
broker/dealer as you suggested, 2) the factual allocution, 3) timing/potential bankruptcy ?ling and
4) immigrant work Visa.

1.

Securities License. Dr. Corsi has a securities license which he will lose as a result of this
plea and various FINRA rules regarding disclosure apply to him. I know that Ms. Rhee
opined that since this plea would be under seal then Dr. Corsi would not have a duty to
report the conviction to his broker/dealer. However, in researching that issue, I think Dr.
Corsi cannot keep this secret from his broker/dealer as the law requires him to disclose the
plea to his broker/dealer. Dr. Corsi considers the recommendation that he commit a crime
to be rather curious as you represent the Department of Justice. Therefore, if the Of?ce
of the Special Counsel is requiring Dr. Corsi to refrain from stating anything to his
broker/dealer unless and until the plea is unsealed, then I must ask whether your of?ce can
provide immunity to him in the event his broker/dealer, or FINRA, raises the issue of
failing to report the plea agreement to the broker/dealer which is a potential violation of
the law.

Allocution. Over the course six voluntary interviews, Dr. Corsi could not testify that he
was ever in touch with Wikileaks and he could not identify any Russian collusion. He did
testify that he ?wanted nothing to do with Assange/Wikileaks?. While this is, in a sense
true I understand that this plea to making a false claim is predicated on the fact that Dr.
Corsi had emails and phone calls wherein he was in fact interested in Wikileaks. He had
not had the bene?t of reviewing all of his emails prior to the interview and you graciously
allowed him to review his emails and amend his statements which he did. Now, after
various amendments to his statements, Dr. Corsi is being asked to af?rrnatively state that
he lied to FBI agents. The issue is that the statements that Dr. Corsi made were, in fact,
the best he could recall at the time. From the beginning, Dr. Corsi immediately provided
all of his computers, emails, phones, social media accounts, etc., and his intent was always
to tell you the truth to the best of his recollection, which he admitted to you, was not very
good as these events took place years ago.

CC:

3. Timing of Sentencing/Filing Bankruptcy. I understand that the sentencing would not be

scheduled for some time and this plea would hang over Dr. Corsi?s head until such time as
he is sentenced. During this time, Dr. Corsi would not be able to engage in his livechats
or other business as the plea requires his silence. Without this source of revenue and
without his securities license, we are looking at a situation where Dr. Corsi may have to
?le for bankruptcy which has a whole other range of dif?culties with disclosure. The
insistence in having an inde?nite period of time between plea and sentencing puts Dr. Corsi
at risk that some unanticipated event in the interim could be used to change your
recommendation for no jail time. I would like to discuss these issues with you before my
client can agree to proceed.

Immigration Case. Dr. Corsi is currently sponsoring his wife?s cousin to come to the US.
from Argentina on a work visa. I am looking into whether the plea must be disclosed to
the immigration authorities in reference to this work visa.

Please contact me to discuss these issues.

Thank you.

Very truly yours,

DAVID E. GRAY

Jerome Corsi,
