He’s not a leaker, although of course he leaked. He’s also not a weasel. We know that, because he tells us so himself, and he said it to Trump, too [you can find the memo texts at the link]: [Comey] … Continue reading →
More on the Cohen investigation from Andrew C. McCarthy
I previously linked to Andrew McCarthy’s take on the Cohen searches, and I added this: For 20 years McCarthy worked as a prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, which is the office involved here, and so he’s inclined … Continue reading →

Did you watch the “Roseanne” premiere?
I’m not ordinarily a sitcom viewer, but I watched about 10 minutes of the new “Roseanne” revival. Then my TV decided to have a problem, and by the time it was fixed I had forgotten about the show and it … Continue reading →
Will Trump’s tariff threats against China work?
“Work” in the sense of getting China to make a deal, that is? Perhaps: China is willing to hold talks with the United States to resolve their differences over trade, China’s foreign ministry said on Monday, as alarm grows over … Continue reading →
Out to get Trump via the Stormy Daniels route
I didn’t watch the 60 Minutes interview with Stormy Daniels, but I listened to most of it, and I’ve read some of the commentary. My take is similar to that of Professor Jacobson at Legal Insurrection: The Stormy Daniels story … Continue reading →
