Don't be stupid, please.

That's an entirely new defense to Bribery that I hadn't been aware of until now. Good luck with that. It's probably no better than the "It didn't happen defense," which goes like this: "A robber walks into a bank with a gun, demands cash from the vault. On the way out, he fires once at the...

It's the Russian thing and social media disinformation that's turning it into a nail bitter. Gangsters and other criminals seldom get much sympathy from the media. I guess if your a gangster you have to learn to live with it. An exception is FOX news. They and Jim Jordan are leaning on the...

Should have made Mueller an Independent Counsel. Too late now,

wouldn't we all!

Well expressed! The Blues were sued , lost every case, by some States, a few decades back, because they negotiated lower prices but based co-pays on the official, non-negotiated price; thus effectively screwing their policy holders. Of course they did not tell the policy holders the actual...

I would think that considering that the inquiry is centered around State Dept official policy re Ukraine, vs. Trump bribery, as ham handedly facilitated by the Amigos and Mulvaney, that sooner or later the name "Pompeo" will surface. So far, he's mostly been present as "The Secretary." Should...

Please stop being an idiot. The details of that transaction are available to you. it had to do with A Russian company buying a Canadian company. She was head of one of several government departments that had to OK the transaction because the Canadian company owned an American company that was...

He strikes me as smart, but there is something about him, particularly his demeanor when pressed by reporters that makes me think he is hiding something, and it is other than ordinary classified information. In fact, I get the impression he is lying by omission, if you know what I mean. And...

Trump has a history of damaging the lives of those who stick with him. The smart ones are those who realized their reputation was in danger and arranged a graceful exit. What puzzles me about Pompeo is that he is not lacking in intelligence like Nikki Haley or Jim Jordan -- their actions are...

I can't believe how Bizarre Barr is. What makes this guy tick? How does he come up with his shit? Of course some less benign recent presidents like him. He believes in the Unitary Executive, which is a way out concept for which little support can be found among the Federalist Papers, in the...

The full panoply of Trump's crimes are far worse than most realize. When one puts Trump's attempted Bribery of the Ukrainian President in context with his obeisance to the autocrat, Putin, in whose good graces Trump must remain to keep Russian money flowing to his private projects, one realizes...

so well deserved!

It can be argued that the Crimes of Stone, and especially those of Trump, are far, far more damaging than the crimes of Epstein. Working against an entire nation in favor of authoritarianism over democracy and the rule of law is as serious a crime one can commit in a democratic republic. In...

Are any of those people Trump mentioned in jail?

Ambassador Taylor may have stayed at a Holiday inn, but Jordan didn't even bother to ask.. That's potentially fertile ground left unploughed by Jordan. Which raises a question in all our minds, why? Why didn't Jordan ask Taylor whether he had stayed at a Holiday Inn? What is Jordan hiding?

This is not accurate. It would be better to say that the Unitary Executive has almost absolute authority over the executive branch, and thus the cabinet agencies, so long as he is in office. This in turn implies that the President would effectively be immune from having to answer to federal...

I doubt the Supreme court will hear the case for the same reason the Fed District judge in essence said, " take this to the NY State Supreme Court in you don't like my ruling," and the Federal Appeals Court has concurred. Trumps lawyers tried to introduce jurisdictional complexity by making a...

The House, in our current Government, has passed bills that would go far toward achieving your desired ends. But some important legislation originated in the House has not been brought to the floor of the Senate for discussion and vote. The Senate's failure to act is a violation of the...
