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...
Not too long ago, I was privileged to represent a former big city police officer who had been charged with raping two young women of questionable virtue. He had met one of them through an online site where, among other things, prostitutes advertised their services. That purported victim had introduced him to her friend who became the second complainant. It was no secret – and the prosecution was well aware – that the two young women were hookers. Nevertheless, despite the fact that my client had retired after being grievously wounded in the line of duty, he was arrested in...
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 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 1949 my parents moved from the small town of East Point, Georgia to a quiet, tree-lined street in the northwest section of Atlanta. There we had wonderful neighbors who became our close friends and with whom we shared life’s joys and sorrows. I could – and probably should – write a book about growing up in that neighborhood during the 1950s and 1960s. Until then, suffice it to say that, according to today’s child safety experts, I was killed or seriously maimed approximately 4,279 times before reaching adolescence. The boys on our block played with bows and arrows, knives,...
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...
The Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are gleefully rubbing their hands at the prospect of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony which is scheduled for next week. They apparently think that he will support their claim that the president obstructed Team Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation. Here is my article which was just published on line by The American Spectator in which I outline how the Committee Republicans should cross-examine Mueller.

The Mueller Report is a 448 page-long primal scream of rage by the frustrated Hillary Clinton acolytes who wrote it and who utterly failed in their anointed mission to (a) lure President Trump into a General Flynn-style perjury trap and/or (b) goad him into obstructing their faux investigation of non-existent Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Unable to find any evidence of actual criminality by the president, Team Mueller resorted to dirtying him up as much as possible for the benefit of their mainstream media and Democrat party fan clubs. This extra-prosecutorial exercise in character assassination was undoubtedly good group therapy...
