Listen to Fox’s very own Andrew Napolitano opine on Trump and obstruction of justice....


Good piece on how Fox News lied, distorted, twisted and manipulated to give a dishonest pro-Trump version of the Mueller report.


BREAKING: Trump’s Offshore Oil-Drilling Plan Sidelined Indefinitely


The FBI will meet with Sen. Rick Scott in the next few weeks to discuss Russia’s hack on at least one Florida county during the 2016 election


Maria Butina's sentencing is still on for tomorrow. The judge had asked the parties whether a delay was needed, given a fight over a DOJ filing from a former FBI official saying Butina was part of a Russian intel operation, but Butina's lawyers didn't want to push it back


The Mueller report doesn't cover the counterintelligence investigation: did Russia try to infiltrate the Trump camp? But a new filing in another case shows Moscow had a broad scheme to obtain influence within US political circles


Wow. @annafifield reports Trump agreed US would pay $2 million to North Korea for “medical care” of Otto Warmbier to win his release as he lay dying. Sounds like a ransom. But not clear if US actually paid; Trump doesn’t honor his debts.


North Korea issued $2 million bill for comatose Otto Warmbier’s care


BRAD PARSCALE: "It's a joke. There was never any help from the Russians."


Pragmatic?! If Sanders really wanted to "make sure Trump doesn't get reelected" he'd drop out. His prattling about socialism is Trump's strongest 2020 lifeline.


Interesting @washingtonpost story on how US Chamber of Commerce is edging away from Trump-led GOP


Many expected Biden to pitch himself as an elder statesman. Instead, he’s announced himself with an incendiary video that focused on Charlottesville and portrayed Trump as a stain on American history who must be removed from power


Is Barr advocating this on his own or is he doing so at the request of the State Department (or POTUS)?? See, as a comparison, when @PreetBharara charged an Indian diplomat and kerfuffle between DOJ and State -- DOJ fought hard for prosecution (though State ultimately won out)


Barr is joining Russian spy Maria Butina in requesting she be sent home to Moscow without serving her sentence. Butina is a key witness in dozens of crimes, who claimed that she was the channel for Russia approving the American SECRETARY OF STATE.


And the simple son’s wife might be a racist


Oh, is Mr. Barr looking to check on the status of 1MDB for his supportive colleague John Ashcroft, foreign agent for Malaysia?


I will be interviewed by @seanhannity tonight at 9:00 PM on @FoxNews. Enjoy!


NEW: Facebook accused of violating Canadian privacy law. Country will take FB to court after the tech giant refuses to agree to regular privacy audits.


#FVEY just got a reprieve. Never should have been up for debate anyway


We've found 85,000 cops who’ve been investigated for misconduct across the country. Starting today, you can dig into their records. @USATODAY Network has obtained records from hundreds of agencies, and every state, so far. We're working to publish it all.


Democratic Party chief: “We are at war now. It is a cyber war” and President Trump is "compromised"


The White House was pushing peace in Libya a month ago. Now Trump's backing a warlord.


"He tricked the Russian people. He is obliged to observe the laws and respect us, but the factories are closed, the cows are dead and so why should I be gracious?" said the man fined $470 for calling Putin a vulgar form of the Russian word for dimwit.

Republican presidential candidate Bill Weld: "If Donald Trump is an American patriot, he should resign from office."


Trump used the Office of The President to meet with Jack Dorsey so he could complain about losing followers on Twitter. Trump is the worlds oldest,most powerful, out of control stupid teenager.


#Barr is licensed with the DC Bar. The code of professional responsibility details conflicts, some of which are not waivable. Failure to follow the Code leads to disciplinary action. A governmental waiver is meaningless for the Code. Violations can be reported to the DC Bar.


#Russia's TASS: "Putin confident Russia to have no difficulty in joining world’s 5 most developed economies." May I remind you:


Are we understanding the Asymmetrical warfare method here? Russia and China are both using Facebook to shape the information battlespace


Lock him up in a cage with a bowl of gruel and a Mylar blanket.


Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano on Trump: "Ordering obstruction to save himself from the consequences of his own behavior is unlawful, defenseless and condemnable."


Russia attacked our democracy. Donald Trump and his campaign welcomed the help. The question now is: What are we going to do about it?

ahh, look who is spoiling President Trump's glory with a summit of his own....so much winning coming from our White House


Trump and his loyal henchmen like Franklin Graham are going to throw as many pointless distractions at you as possible from now until whenever Trump leaves office. Yes, Trump surrounds himself with terrible people. We know. Want to get him out? Ignore these provocative stunts.
