Randy, you simply quoted a long excerpt from a Washington Examiner article without indicating what specific points you are making in response to my post. Some of what is in that article purports to be direct quotes from Flynn's pre-sentencing memo. Some is commentary. I assume you agree with the co...

Shortly before the interview, McCabe contacted Flynn on a secure line. If McCabe was acting in good faith with Flynn, he woud have informed him that they had a transcript of the NSA intercept of Flynn's calls with Kislyak, & offered to send over his two top conter intel agents to review the tra...

As I said, in general I accept the proposition that leaking FISA intercepts may be illegal. I do recall the "head on a pike" comment, but don't recall the source so I'm not sure Comey actually said that. (I do recall it being attributed to him.) Even if he did, he has been long gone from ...

Flynn wasn’t a target until after he lied to the FBI. He was not a target going into the meeting unless you think he was a target for violating the Logan Act. As many have said, it is highly unlikely Flynn was being criminally pursued in late December 2016/early January 2017 for Logan Act violation...

Randy, you say Flynn did nothing wrong by talking to Kislyak. I disagree. Furthermore, I am OK with the leaks to the press about Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak in December 2016. I haven’t seen anything authoritatively saying those leaks were illegal. I could understand why, in general, it would...

So as it turns out Flynn wasn’t “ambushed” after all. In Flynn’s own attorney’s filing with the court, Flynn admits McCabe told him the FBI wanted to interview him about his conversations with Kislyak in December 2016. Kinda hard to call it an “ambush” when he was told the purpose of the meeting in ...

Wait. I thought it was a terrible thing when the Dems allegedly rigged the 2016 primaries to favor Hillary?

George Conway ‏ @gtconway3d George Conway Retweeted Donald J. Trump 4:15 PM - 7 Dec 2018 Except for that little part where the US Attorney’s Office says that you directed and coordinated with Cohen to commit two felonies. Other than that, totally scot-free.

Paulie Walnuts sure better hope The Donald doesn’t choke on a cheeseburger before he gets around to pulling out his pardon pen.

Maybe Kelly isn’t talking to Trump anymore because Kelly recommended Mueller for the presidential medal of freedom.

Just a process crime, the voting process. Nothing to see here.

Anyone who wonders about Mueller’s thoroughness might want to skim through the report he prepared for the NFL in 2015 concerning the infamous Ray Rice elevator assault on his fiancée. One of the issues Mueller was asked to look into was whether there was any evidence the NFL office in New York had r...

Now that the pre-election quiet period is over, Mueller is methodically rolling up the Trump crime family. Reminds me of the Godfather baptism scene. Scene opens: Trump is sitting on the couch in the WH residence watching Fox News. His conversation on his unsecure iPhone with Hannity gets interrupt...

About as well as Trump’s candidacy for the Nobel Peace Prize.

As to Ivana’s accusation of rape, while as part of a settlement in their divorce where she was paid over $10 million she did sign a statement saying she didn’t mean to use the word “rape“ in the legal sense, she never retracted the underlying factual allegations (slammed her against a wall, forced h...

I follow the Court pretty closely and was following it very closely when Ginsberg was nominated. I have never heard the nickname either. Sounds like a right wing slur to me.

Yes, the Supreme Court could ultimately rule on the constitutionality of Whitaker's appointment. But don't count your chickens there just yet Randy. I could easily see even this Court ruling against him. But even if the Court ultimately rules the other way, when will that decision come down? A feder...

Well, that’s your opinion, Randy. How about if we get the opinion of the Justice Department’s ethics officer whose opinion actually means something, unlike yours or mine. Here’s an opinion of mine. If Whitaker were to disclose confidential details of Mueller‘s investigation to Trump, as has been wid...

Shouldn’t they be moving them back an hour?
