Outside the Beltway

Republicans are raising the fear of impeachment to motivate a base that could become disaffected heading into November.

Republicans on Capitol Hill worried about all the leaking coming from the Trump White House would be wise to actually do the oversight the Constitution compels them to do.

The head of the House Intelligence Committee’s Russia investigation admitted yesterday that the committee was never focused on any potential evidence of collusion.

The FBI’s former deputy director was shamefully fired late Friday night, after which President Trump gloated on Twitter.

The British prime minister and outgoing US Secretary of State declared a red line crossed. There’s no reason to think this White House will follow through.

Rex Tillerson was an awful Secretary of State who simply had to go, It’s quite possible his successor will be an even greater disaster.

Ending an investigation that was flawed and tainted with partisanship from the start, the House Intelligence Committee has abruptly concluded its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The Russia investigation rolls on with more evidence of questionable conduct on the part of Trump and his team.

The 29-year-old was one of President Trump’s most trusted aides but she had an impossible job.

Jonathan Bernstein thinks so and Chuck Todd and company outline a pretty strong case.

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have released a memo that completely eviscerates the memo prepared by Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.

Donald Trump’s dereliction of duty in response to clear evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election is a staggering and flagrant dereliction of the duties he agreed to take on when he took the Oath Of Office more than a year ago.

The Russian government likely is quite pleased.

Donald Trump has blocked the release of a memo prepared by House Intelligence Committee Democrats to rebut the Nunes memo. It’s hard not to see this as a blatantly partisan move.

Contrary to the claims that were made by conservatives and Trump supporters before its release, the memo prepared by Congressman Devin Nunes has done nothing to undermine the Russia investigation.

Administration officials are admitting that it’s likely that Russia will try to interfere in the midterm elections just as it did in 2016, but they don’t seem inclined to do anything about it.

Last week, the President was calling for national unity. This week, he called political opponents “treasonous.”

The two most important allegations in the Nunes memo appear to be complete lies.

President Trump is claiming that the Nunes memo vindicates him. He’s wrong.

Republicans have released the memo prepared by Congressman Devin Nunes that purports to call into question the basis for the Russia investigation. In the end, though, it amounts to much ado about nothing.

John Kelly continues to throw away the good name he earned in decades of service as a Marine to serve the agenda of President Trump.

Former White House and Trump campaign adviser Steve Bannon has been subpoenaed in connection with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Donald Trump’s irrational tweets are once again focused on the leader of North Korea.

Donald Trump Jr. is claiming that some conversations between him and his father are covered by the attorney-client privilege. Based on what we know about those conversations, there’s a good possibility that he’s right.

Another Trump lie.

A new report indicates that Trump campaign officials were seeking contact with Russian officials earlier than we thought.

Former C.I.A. Director John Brennan testified before a House Committee today, and what he had to say was not good news for the Trump Administration.

Yet another report that the President of the United States sought to undermine an ongoing F.B.I. investigation.

A top Trump campaign adviser was the subject of a FISA warrant for at least part of last year.

More evidence of ties between the Trump campaign and Russian interests.

Republicans in Congress are slavishly seeking to divert attention from wrongdoing by Donald Trump, or Russia.

It may well be that the 25th Amendment, not the impeachment clause, will be his undoing.

Two big admissions from the Director of the F.B.I. today are likely to lead to real political headaches for the Trump Administration.

The story about the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia didn’t start with Michael Flynn, and it isn’t going to end with his resignation.

An unsurprising ‘resignation’ from the shortest-serving National Security Adviser in history.

For Donald Trump, it appears that ignorance is bliss.

As with each previous committee that investigated the 2012 attack on the U.S outpost in Benghazi, the House Select Committee finds that mistakes were made but no evidence of wrongdoing or cover-ups.

The U.S. is poised to send troops to the front lines of yet another war we have no reason to be involved in.

Get ready for an expansion of the war against ISIS into Libya, because it’s probably not far away.

Disturbing reports over the weekend that American leaders may not be getting the kind of unbiased intelligence analysis about ISIS that they need to make decisions.

The investigation continues, but the consensus seems to be growing that Metrojet 9268 was taken out by a bomb.

After an eleven hour day on Capitol Hill, it was Hillary Clinton 1 House Benghazi Committee 0.

As the House Select Benghazi Committee continues to question Hillary Clinton, a new poll finds that the vast majority of Americans view its work as political rather than part of an objective investigation.

What will likely be the apex of the House Select Committee’s investigation of the Benghazi attack begins and ends today with the testimony of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Another Republican Congressman has said that the Select Committee investigating the Benghazi attack is primarily concerned with scoring political points against Hillary Clinton.

The man who will likely be the next Speaker of the House accidentally acknowledged the real motivation behind the Select Committee investigating, yet again, the Benghazi attack.
