One of the most impressive — yet frustrating — aspects of the Mueller investigation has been the lack of any statements or leaks from the Special Counsel and his team about how the investigation is going. It’s been a virtual "black box" for 18 months....
This has been one heck of a week and I truly believe that this we are now in the end stages of this particular kakistocracy. I am not saying it will end tomorrow. And a lot of how quickly and easily it ends will be determined by how we do in...
Jonathon Turley, law professor and occasional Trump apologist, stated on Morning Joe that Michael Cohen brings Trump within one witness of total legal jeopardy and destruction.
