My post Tap Dancing Through the Ukrainian Minefield has been retitled and published by my friends at The American Spectator. Since the editors at TAS were able to clean up the piece – including removing the goofy formatting of the astonishing ZeroHedge article – I have substituted the far cleaner TAS article for yesterday’s post. As always, I want to thank the TAS’ editors for their help and consideration. Here’s the article An Impeachment Defense: It Most Justifiably Means Going on Offense | The American Spectator Legats. That’s FBI shorthand for its agents who serve as legal attachés in U.S. embassies...
A better-edited version of yesterday’s post The CrowdStrike Panic was published today by my friends at The American Spectator and linked to on Real Clear Politics. Judging by the amount of reader mail and comment, it seems to have stirred up quite a bit of controversy. A few minutes ago I was asked by a producer for the Fox Business Network to appear on The Evening Edit at 6:00 P.M. with host Elizabeth MacDonald. Of course I accepted the invitation and will be appearing via Skype from KIG’s home office. Hope you can tune in and join in the fun. Share...
In his telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodmyr Zelensky, President Trump requested Ukraine’s help in getting “to the bottom of” the Russian collusion narrative and the role of CrowdStrike, a private computer security company, in propagating that story. Lost in the volcanic eruption of faux outrage and condemnation aimed at the President by the Democrats and their wholly-owned media subsidiary, this reference to CrowdStrike indicates that the Justice Department’s investigation of the counterintelligence operation against candidate and President-elect Trump may be hot on the trail of exposing what could well be a seminal lie that the Democratic National Committee’s computer...
“Tickling the wire.” That’s the slang expression used by law enforcement personnel to describe the process of trying to breathe life into a moribund or unproductive wiretap. When the subjects of such surveillance fail to discuss their criminal activities over the monitored telephones or at the bugged premises, surreptitious steps can be taken to induce them to do so. For example, in the case of a federal wiretap on a drug dealer’s telephone, if few incriminating communications have been intercepted, the local police can be enlisted to conduct an apparently unrelated car stop, interrogation and search of the subject. This...
My friends at The American Spectator published my article titled The Art and Science of Cross-Examining Mueller which is an expanded and much improved version of my previous post on the same subject. It generated a flood of emails and a great deal of interest after it was was picked up by Powerline, Real Clear Politics and Lucianne.com. Happily many readers caught and approved of my juvenile and completely tasteless reference to Deliverance at the end of the piece. The American Spectator is converting to a pay site*. Nevertheless, you may still be able to access my article on TAS’ website for...
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...
Today The American Spectator published my analysis of the mainstream media’s canonization of disgraced and discredited former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who this week began hawking his new book in which he is the hero. According to Andy, under his intrepid leadership, your FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation of President Trump who, despite his many moves to thwart Vladmir Putin’s ambitions, may still be a secret Russian agent. Watching McCabe do the fawning, powder puff CBS and NBC interviews moved me to pose a few inconvenient questions along the lines of why should anyone believe anything that this guy...
