This man is clearly overcompensating for something...


We will go where the facts lead us. We will insist on the truth. We will build an ironclad case to act. Because in the United States of America, no one is above the law – not even the president! And President Trump will be held accountable for his actions!


As calls for impeachment grows, its probably not a good sign when your impeachment attorney is resignin’


Reminder: the head of Mueller’s legal team was Michael Dreeben, the most accomplished criminal lawyer in DOJ. He has been in charge of all DOJ criminal appeals for more than 20 years and has argued more than 100 cases in the S Ct. So his legal analysis was trumped by...whom??

Tyrants overthrowing virtuous men.


So if Judge Sullivan doesn't say anything I will presume he got tap on the shoulder from one of the FISC members who are colleagues in US district court in DC. They won't have to say a word.


Good morning. A massive coverup is under way at the top of the Justice Department and across the GOP to shield Donald Trump from any consequences for the crimes described in the Mueller report. We are living in a wobbly autocracy, abetted by kleptocratic GOP minority rule.


Perhaps the USS John McCain hat will become the anti- MAGA hat.

Donald Trump lashes out, calls Duchess Meghan 'nasty' on eve of UK visit


So ... @HouseholderOH says it's wrong for Ohio libraries to teach "Drag 101" classes because he sees himself as a "good steward of the public's money." Yet, last weekend we paid $650,000 to bring the Klan to Dayton. I have questions.


In Trump’s and Barr’s America, it looks like the Executive Branch has finally claimed it can defy not only the Legislative Branch but the Judicial Branch as well. Isn’t that called a dictatorship? Please tell me what I’m missing here.

Trump’s Moscow Deal Is Exactly What the Framers Worried About Self-dealing and foreign influence were their biggest fears for the presidency.


How many ppl in trumps orbit knew about the Mexico tariffs in advance? He's manipulating the stock market.


I suspect Judge Sullivan will issue a “Show Cause” Order, directing the prosecutors to demonstrate why they should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with his earlier order to disclose. Institutional danger ahead . . .

Thanks to Trump’s tax cut, corporations lowered their effective tax rate to just 7% - the lowest since WWII. And yet the IRS collected $100 billion more from individuals last year. Democratic candidates should be shouting this story from the rooftops.


“... But the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation *would* uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes...” — Mueller Report pg. 76.


Could overturning Roe go beyond rolling back abortion rights?


Yeah, you can see how Bill Barr might have a hard time understanding why the FBI would have wanted to take a look at the Trump campaign... ...well, except for...

BREAKING: Trump says the U.S. will impose a 5% tariff on all goods from Mexico


Wow. There is so much wrong w Barr's words. If Mueller accused 45 without indicting: he'd be doing what Comey did to Hillary. More important, did Barr forget Watergate and Clinton precedent of referring evidence to Congress for impeachment instead of indicting for crime??


Would Trump sell America’s secrets to protect his own?

“[Barr’s] not entitled to disparage Bob Mueller… If Barr really had difficulty with what Mueller did, he remains his boss, he could demand that Mueller give him his conclusion, it just seems like they’re trying to set up a very good man... ”


New documents released today show Flynn was a paid secret agent for a foreign country. Likely one of the reasons Sullivan asked if they’d thought of charging him with treason.


China gears up to weaponize rare earths in trade war


Mueller's warning that ALL Americans should be aware of election interference is real. Who is blocking legislation to bring greater election security? One answer: Mitch McConnell. He should never again be
