In any criminal investigation, nothing is more valuable than tangible, physical evidence. Anyone who has ever been part of trying to solve a crime will tell you that. When it comes to the probe being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into a possible conspiracy between members of the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia, Mueller […]
As we learned in Watergate, if you want to get to the bottom of a conspiracy involving politics, the way you find who was involved and how high the treachery goes is to follow the money. That’s exactly the advice that Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward were given by their source who went by the […]
When he stood before a U.S. district court judge in Manhattan in late August, Donald Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, pled guilty to eight felonies: Five counts of tax evasion, one count of falsifying submissions to a bank, and two counts involving unlawful campaign contributions. While those eight charges got the vast majority of the […]
For over a decade, Michael Cohen has been Donald Trump’s personal attorney. As such, he probably knows more about Trump’s business dealings, numerous extramarital affairs, and connections to questionable people than anyone else. And that’s a big problem for the president now that Cohen is pleading guilty. What, you may wonder, does Cohen know that’s […]
While it’s been clear for quite some time now that Donald Trump isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, he seems to be getting even more profoundly ignorant with each day that passes and as Special Counsel Robert Mueller gets closer to busting him.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan took the political world by surprise when he announced in April that he wouldn’t be seeking reelection to the congressional seat he’s held since 1999.

Ever since it was first reported that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, members of the administration and their supporters have ardently suggested that even if Russia did hack into the DNC and spread disinformation, no votes were changed as a result, so it had no influence on the final result of the election. But […]
Ever since Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel for the Russia investigation, two people have been only too eager and happy to defend Donald Trump and attack the probe: Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Fox host Sean Hannity. But now, in what may well wind up being one of the most beautiful examples of karmic […]
Ever since the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller began, Donald Trump and his defenders have repeatedly claimed there is no evidence of collusion/conspiracy with Russia. Trump has even turned the matter into a sort of mantra, constantly tweeting out “no collusion” and calling the Mueller probe a “witch hunt.” They’ve also demanded that the […]
If nothing else comes from the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, we do now know that Donald Trump committed a financial crime that had previously only been speculated about. And rest assured Special Counsel Robert Mueller is well aware of it, too. Rick Gates, who was Manafort’s longtime business partner, has been […]
