Rudy Giuliani’s role in the Trump defense against the Mueller onslaught is part lawyer, and a bigger part public perception shaping.
About a month ago I wondered what Rudy was thinking when he suggested Trump should have a sit-down interview with Mueller, Rudy’s terrible, horrible, no good idea about Trump sitting for a...
Special Counsel Robert Mueller finally has sent someone to jail. Paul Manafort.
For nothing having to do with Russia or the Trump campaign.
A new Politico/Morning Consult Poll shows the public’s image of Special Counsel Robert Mueller has hit an all-time low. Now 53% of the public view him “in an unfavorable light.”
Maybe because...
The Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted James Wolfe, the Senate Intelligence Committee’s former security director, for allegedly lying to the FBI about possible leaks to three reporters.
The FBI investigated how New York Times reporter Ali Watkins “learned that Russian spies in 2013 had tried to recruit Carter Page, a former Trump...
Outgoing Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) caused quite a stir when he said on TV that he found no evidence that the FBI spied on President Donald Trump’s campaign after he received a briefing from the DOJ and FBI.
Now reports have emerged that Gowdy and others at the meeting did not see...
Whew boy. This has not been a good few days for the “any suggestion the FBI was out to damage Trump is conspiratorial kookery” crowd.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Sen. Ron Johnson, requested information from FBI Director Christopher Wray Monday.
I’m still shaking my head in disbelief at Rudy Giuliani’s idea that if Robert Mueller and his team agreed to wrap up the “obstruction” investigation by September 1, Trump would sit for an interview.
I covered this development in my prior post, Rudy’s terrible, horrible, no good idea about Trump sitting for a...
Last week, a New York Times report confirming the Obama Administration’s FBI and DOJ spied on the Trump campaign confirmed the worst fears and suspicions of those following the endless and thus far, fruitless crusade to prove some kind of Trump/Russia collusion.
In my January 24, 2018 post I explained why, Trump should not voluntarily submit to an interview with Mueller:
The latest revelations about the Obama FBI spying on the Trump campaign are alarming, and it’s hard not to see this in the context of a much bigger picture.
Connecting dots is a perilous business, but when they are neon bright and flashing, they’re hard to ignore.
And here it is.
The New York Times confirms Trump’s claims, which have been frequently dismissed by major media outlets as kooky and conspiratorial, true. Under the Obama administration, the intelligence community DOJ officials spied on Trump’s campaign.
Operation “Crossfire Hurricane” is what they called it. It was a super double secret operation...
The Senate Judiciary Committee released 2,500 pages of transcripts and documents about a June 19, 2016, meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer. Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort attended in hopes of leaving with dirt on failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Turns out...
In The Wall Street Journal, Kimberley Strassel penned an op-ed that suggests the FBI may have placed a mole within then-GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign since the department will not reveal its top-secret source.
And when did the FBI become so secretive? A former FBI agent wrote...
We reported on Friday about the hearing in federal court in Virginia regarding Paul Manafort’s request to have his criminal indictment and case dismissed because it was beyond the jurisdiction of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to prosecute.
Statements made by the judge during the hearing generated a lot of news,
Almost since the day Robert Mueller was appointed, I have been pointing out that Mueller has gone rogue and is employing a scorched earth strategy to get Trump, on anything.
The Paul Manafort prosecution on things having nothing to do with the reason Mueller was appointed, alleged Russia collusion, is a good...
There was an interesting filing recently by Paul Manafort in the prosecution by Robert Mueller’s team against him in the Eastern District of Virginia.
The filing concerned leaks reported in the media that were attributed by the media to government sources. Some of those media reports alleged Manafort contact with Russians. Manafort...
