This is legal in the US? If not, where was the line crossed? Even if legal, it appears that a line was crossed when participants lied to investigators and the press about it. There are also questions raised about politicization of the US intelligence services, perhaps assisted by British intelligence.Even if is legal, it proves that HRC was preparing to do exactly what she was accusing DJT of planning to do–contest the result if he lost.There is a very bad smell about this. In fact, it is...

The publication of the Republican House Committee memo and reports of other documents increasingly suggest not only a “Russiagate” without Russia but also something darker: The “collusion” may not have been in the White House or the Kremlin. The NationRussiagate or Intelgate?Stephen F. Cohen | Professor Emeritus of Russian Studies, History, and Politics at New York University and Princeton University

The House Intelligence Committee memo on abuse of power by the Federal Bureau of Investigation appeared just after 12:00 pm Eastern time, and American political life never will be the same. The House Republicans make a persuasive if not prima facie case that senior FBI officials used a fake dossier paid for by the Democrats to get a court order for electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign. If the charge sticks, America will have a real life instance of the sort of scenario found in...

In-depth analysis of the Trump dossier. Much ado about nothing, but it's the ado that's interesting and relevant, as Andrew McCarthy shows. Maybe on a conspiracy against a presidential candidate and then president in the legal sense, but close and likely some would call it a conspiracy in the colloquial sense.  It certainly was collusion among people determined to undercut Trump owing to their own biases and affiliations. This appears to be the real threat to American democracy...

When the entire episode about the creation of the Trump dossier (by former Brit spy, Christopher Steele) and its dissemination (by Steele and the Democrat hired contractor, FUSION GPS,) to the FBI and the press, is fully exposed, the American people will be confronted with the stark dilemma of how to deal with the fact that there was a failed domestic coup attempted by members of the U.S. intel and law enforcement community. The facts will show that the Director of National Intelligence,...
