This morning I was interviewed on Chicago’s AM 560 WIND regarding the strange death of Jeffrey Epstein. Amy Jacobson and Dan Proft, hosts of the Morning Answer, played the hot mike audio of ABC News Anchor Amy Robach complaining about how, for three years, her network spiked her scoop about sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women. They then cut to me for my analysis of the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death. Here’s the link to a YouTube video of the show. My remarks were basically a rehash of my recent post The Epstein Autopsy- the Plot Thickens with a...
Last Thursday I attended another meeting of the Saturday Evening Club (which by tradition never meets on a Saturday), a dinner hosted by The American Spectator at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C.. Back in July, I attended a previous such dinner at which the guest of honor was President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. This time, the guest of honor was Attorney General Bill Barr. Attendance was limited to 30 media, political, and business big wigs. How or why I came to be included in this group remains a complete mystery, but I wasn’t about to turn down an invitation to...
In a desperate effort to squeeze political advantage out of the Special Counsel’s report exonerating Donald Trump and his presidential campaign of conspiring with Russia to affect the outcome of the 2016 election, Congressional Democrats have subpoenaed Robert Mueller to testify before the Oversight and Judiciary committees of the House of Representatives. They apparently believe that Mueller’s testimony will further their impeachment narrative by drawing public attention to those portions of the report interpreted by some partisans as demonstrating that President Trump obstructed the investigation of his non-conspiracy with Russia. Quite understandably, Congressional Republicans have been slapping their foreheads in...
In his muddled, obfuscatory farewell remarks, Special Counsel Robert Mueller strongly suggested that, although he and his cohort of Hillary Clinton acolytes had reached no conclusion as to whether President Trump had obstructed justice, Congress should address that question by means of the impeachment “process”. Why? Because Team Mueller had not been able to “exonerate” the President. But exoneration is a non-legal standard which completely inverts and perverts our system of justice which places the burden of proof on the prosecution to prove its case. In every criminal trial across America, the judge instructs the jury that the burden of...
As he departed the Justice Department, Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered a valedictory address in which he reiterated the main points of his office’s written investigative report. In doing so, he explicitly confirmed what many of us have recognized from the beginning, i.e., that the efforts of his handpicked team of Hillary Clinton acolytes comprised first, last and always a taxpayer funded exercise in political opposition research masquerading as a criminal investigation of Donald Trump. Regarding whether or not the president had obstructed the special counsel’s investigation of possible collusion with the Russians by the Trump campaign, Mueller cited the...
Historians tell us that in the final days of the Third Reich, as the Red Army surrounded the Berlin Fuhrerbunker, a crazed Adolf Hitler ranted, raved and issued increasingly irrational orders for non-existent Wehrmacht divisions to counterattack and repel the invaders. Even as Germany was being laid waste by the British and American armies advancing from the west and the Russians from the east, Hitler still appeared to believe that victory was within reach. After all, when he had started World War II, world domination by the Nazis had been all but certain. It had to have been inconceivable to...
Now that the Russian collusion hoax has been debunked, and not even the Hillary Clinton acolytes who comprised Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office saw fit to charge the president with obstruction of justice, the party is about to get very rough for the FBI, Justice Department and CIA leaders who concocted the hoax and who illegally spied on American citizens. On April 10, 2019, Attorney General William Barr testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign had been spied upon by U.S. intelligence agencies. According to Barr, the “question was whether it [the spying] was adequately predicated.”...
Last week my friends at The American Spectator asked for my reaction to Attorney General Barr’s testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee in which he said that our federal government had spied on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. I sent them my last blog post (“Justice is Coming”) which I thought was pretty funny but not suitable for such a serious publication as TAS. The editors said that they would be interested in running an enlarged, more analytical version of “Justice is Coming”. So I wrote and submitted an expanded piece. TAS ran the result, set forth below, on...
Today before the Senate Appropriations Committee Attorney General William Barr gave testimony that is guaranteed to pucker Deep State sphincters throughout the D.C. swamp. Regarding spying on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, he testified as follows: ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR: As I said in my confirmation hearing, I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016. And a lot of this has already been investigated, and a substantial portion of it has been investigated and is being investigated by the office of the Inspector General, but one of the...
