The American Spectator has again honored KIG by publishing yesterday’s post “Leaking and Lies at the FBI” under the much better title “Andrew McCabe and James Comey Deserve Each Other”. Be sure to check it out. As usual, the readers’ comments are lively and interesting. You can also access the article at the Real Clear Politics website.
According to the just released report by the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe wrongfully caused sensitive law enforcement information to be leaked to the Wall Street Journal and then lied to investigators about having done so. The report runs thirty-five single spaced pages and lays out in excruciating, meticulous and damning detail how McCabe authorized an anonymous leak calculated to make it appear that he had resisted pressure by Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department to close down the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation during the 2016 election campaign and then proceeded to cover […]

As part of KIG’s ongoing service to bring the best of the internet to its readers, here are today’s recommendations. First up is “The Trump Resistance is the greatest show in town” by Roger Kimball of Spectator USA, a relatively new website which is an offshoot of the British Spectator UK site. It offers a fresh perspective on American politics and society. The Trump resistance piece is brilliant and hilarious. For example, in describing the motives behind the Trump resistance movement, Kimball offers this observation: “You can understand their anguish. Someone they did not favor was elected president of the […]

Here’s a five minute YouTube video of Senator Ted Cruz questioning Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook’s leftist bias and its suppression of non-party line content. As with all good cross examination, the witness’ answers are irrelevant. The fact-based questions answer themselves. Zuckerberg’s scripted and dithering answers and nervous lip licking only reinforce the impression that Cruz’s questions are hitting the target and that Zuckerberg can’t be trusted. Hopefully the social media robber barons who believe they have the right to eliminate all political views with which they disagree will take notice. Yesterday was a warning shot. Whether it will cause them […]

Like a whale straining the sea for plankton, KIG searches the internet for the best commentaries of the day. This new service is part of KIG’s campaign to end OES (Online Eye Strain). It does the reading and sifting so you don’t have to. Here’s today’s catch: Melissa Mackenzie at The American Spectator puts the FBI raid of Michael Cohen’s law office into its proper context. Check out her column here. It’s a terrific piece of writing and well worth reading. And Victor Davis Hanson explains why the President’s efforts to restructure our trade and tariff policies, immigration practices and […]

Today The Federalist is featuring my article about Robert Mueller’s meaningless and deceptive designation of the president as a “subject” instead of a “target” of the special counsel’s investigation. In it, I repeat my warning to the president’s lawyers that Team Muller is out to destroy their client by any means necessary and is comprised of “thugs with law degrees”. Those observations were written well before yesterday’s outrageous FBI raid of the president’s personal lawyer’s office and home. Lawless thugs indeed. Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent used magical powers to read the contents of the sealed envelopes. But no magical powers are […]

Here’s a link to possibly the most articulate and passionate defense of our right to keep and bear arms since the left started its “March for Our Lives” agitprop. Congratulations to the speaker, Mark Robinson. Please share his remarks with everyone you know.

Ted Kennedy and the KGB
There is nothing like historical context to help evaluate and better understand current events. So, in regard to the mainstream media’s breathless, non-stop coverage of the self-levitating Trump-Russia collusion theory, consider this bit of trivia: In 1991, when Russian President Boris Yeltsin opened the archives of the Soviet Central Committee, Western researchers quickly descended on Moscow to plow through the treasure trove of previously classified official documents. Among those researchers was Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times and the BBC who found a May 14, 1983 letter from KGB chief Viktor Chebrikov to Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov. […]

Special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly advised Donald Trump’s lawyers that the president is a “subject” but not a “target” of Mueller’s investigation. This has resulted in a great deal of triumphal celebration among the president’s supporters. After all, they reason, if Mueller hasn’t by now dredged up enough evidence to designate Trump a “target,” then the president must be in the clear. Unfortunately, whether someone is a “target” as opposed to a “subject” of an investigation is a distinction without a difference. It’s all a matter of timing, and the “subject” of an investigation can become a “target” in […]

Say Hello to John Huber
On January 12, 2017, the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General announced that it was initiating “a review of allegations regarding certain actions by the Department of Justice (Department) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in advance of the 2016 election.” The issues to be examined included, but were not limited to, the following: “Allegations that the Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016 [clearing Hillary Clinton of criminal responsibility for her grossly negligent mishandling of […]

Yesterday The Federalist published my article entitled “President Trump Should Play Hardball with Robert Mueller”. It sets forth why the president should not submit to interrogation by Team Mueller. Here’s the link. It is always an honor and a privilege to be published by The Federalist. Now comes word that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has designated a sitting U.S. Attorney in Utah to analyze the evolving disintegration of the Trump-Russia collusion story and the related actions of the Comey FBI and Obama Justice Department. So stand by for further analysis.

Today’s The American Spectator features yesterday’s KIG post about the purported hack of the DNC’s email server. Here’s the link to the Spectator article. The reader comments are most interesting including those that raise the possible connection between the theft of the emails and the murder of Seth Rich. As ever, it’s a privilege to appear in the Spectator.
