Outside the Beltway

Robert Mueller has some questions for the President, and the wide range of topic areas should worry President Trump significantly.

A longtime “Hillary Beat” reporter ruminates on what she and her candidate could have done differently in 2016.

Former F.B.I, Director James Comey’s memos regarding his meeting with Donald Trump early in 2017 have been released, and they corroborate everything Comey has said about those conversations.

For intelligence and law enforcement to function, their leaders must remain outside the partisan fray—even in recent retirement.

An attempt at defining the conversation.

President Trump is on the attack against James Comey as the former F.B.I. Director begins his book tour.

Given a choice between Robert Mueller and Donald Trump, most Americans are siding with Mueller. Unless they’re Republicans that is.

Hang on, the ride on the Trump Train is about to get a lot bumpier.

Out of the blue, President Trump plans to pardon Dick Cheney’s former Chief of Staff, but the move seems to have more to do with James Comey than it does Scooter Libby.

The FBI committed gross malfeasance in building a case against the widow of Omar Mateen. She nonetheless bears significant blame for 53 deaths.

Robert Mueller is telling the President’s lawyers that Trump is a “subject” of his investigation, but not a “target,” that’s not as significant a distinction as it may seem to be.

If there are charges of criminal wrongdoing, we’ll definitely know. Otherwise, it all depends on how he sees his role.

The special counsel may be moving beyond the 2016 campaign and into post-election obstruction of justice.

If you’re tired of the restraint being shown by this President, you may be in luck.

The fact that Andrew McCabe was fired before he could retire means that he will lose out on some significant pension benefits, but. contrary to some media reporting, he won’t lose his pension completely.

Lawfare provides a balanced piece on the firing of Andrew McCabe.

Less than 24 hours after the McCabe firing, the president’s attorney explicitly connects the move to the Mueller probe.

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

While the nature of Rex Tillerson’s firing as Secretary of State was shocking in its abruptness, taken in context with the rocky nature of his tenure it was hardly surprising.

The former Trump campaign official made the most of his 15 minutes of fame.

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.

Mueller tightens the screws even further.

Donald Trump is now claiming that he had never denied that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. This is, of course, not true.

Despite what his own intelligence chiefs are saying, President Trump still does not believe that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

Intelligence officials are warning that the Russians are set to seek to influence the 2018 elections just as they did in 2016. Despite this, the Trump Administration refuses to acknowledge this publicly while the President seeks to undermine the investigation into past Russian interference.

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

What seems like a nothingburger story from CNN.

Imagine a world where Hillary Clinton was President and stood accused of the same things Donald Trump and his campaign are currently under investigation for.

Yet another demand for a loyalty pledge from a law enforcement official by a President under investigation.

Once again, President Trump is going soft on Russia. Why? I’ll leave that up to the reader to decide.

Despite mounting evidence and outrageous behavior, Republicans nationwide and on Capitol Hill continue to do the Administration’s dirty work. They’ll most likely live to regret it.

And the evidence for obstruction of justice continues to mount.

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

2017 was quite a year. 2018 promises to be just as interesting.

Mueller crosses Trump’s “red line.”

As I’ve said before, the Republican Party in the Trump Era has become the party of Trumpaloons, sycophants, sellouts, and cowards.

For a guy who considers the Russia investigation “Fake News,” President Trump sure is doing a lot to try to stop it.

Ominous news for the Trump Administration today out of Federal Court in Washington, D.C.

Potentially bad news for President Trump in connection with the Russia investigation.

Even during an overseas trip, President Trump continues to try to undermine the Russia investigation.

In his time as President, Donald Trump has demonstrated as much contempt for the rule of law as he did as a candidate.

Federal Courts continue to rule against the Administration, and the President continues to lash out at Judges and demonstrate his contempt for the Rule Of Law.

The first shoes appear ready to drop in Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign.

While there are real differences between what’s being reported about White House officials such as Jared Kushner and what Hillary Clinton did, the charge of hypocrisy is well-founded.

With his sentencing, the strange, strange saga of Anthony Weiner has come to an end. What a strange and wild ride it has been.

Hillary Clinton has found another group to blame for her loss, educated white married women in suburbia.

Hillary Clinton delivers the most obvious news ever.

Hillary Clinton’s latest memoir lashes out at those to blame for her unexpected loss.

Another Trump lie.
