Outside the Beltway

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 circumstantial case for corruption by Kushner is growing.

The Russia probe is focusing on the sequence of events surrounding hacked Clinton campaign and DNC emails.

President Trump continues to deny the reality of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, and he’s failing to act to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The Mueller investigation moves forward.

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.

Blake Hounshell has doubts about whether Trump colluded with Moscow.

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.

Even with yesterday’s indictments, President Trump still won’t acknowledge reality even though it’s staring him in the face.

A significant and important development in the Russia investigation that shows that President Trump’s claim that the stories of Russian interference in the 2016 election were “Fake News” is completely untrue.

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.

National Review legal analyst David French argues that the Nunes memo actually undermines the central claim its proponents were seeking to bolster.

Robert Mueller’s investigators are looking at the President’s role in drafting a false statement regarding the June 2016 meeting between his son and a lawyer linked to the Russian government.

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

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.

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

Donald Trump spends an inordinate amount of time watching television and regurgitating what he sees on Twitter. That’s not healthy.

A fitting honor for women who have brought to light an issue that was swept under the rug for far too long.

Mueller crosses Trump’s “red line.”

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

The Supreme Court heard oral argument yesterday in what could end up being a landmark case on the issue of the scope of Fourth Amendment rights in the 21st Century.

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

There’s growing evidence that Donald Trump’s tweets are hurting him but his aides have basically given up trying to control his Twitter habit.

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