Even more seriously, text messages between Strzok and Page pertaining to the Russia investigation, particularly a text message from Strzok on August 8 stating “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.” in response to a Page text “[Trump’s] not...

It’s done. It’s time.

One of the more notable differences between Watergate and the metastasizing scandals involving the FBI, our intelligence agencies, and the Obama administration -- subjects of the soon-to-be-released inspector general's report -- is that the media exposed Watergate. They aided and abetted the current transgressions. By providing a willing and virtually unquestioned repository for every anonymous leaker (as long as he or she was on the "right" side) in Washington and beyond, the press has evolved from being part of the solution to being a major part of the problem. Gone are the days of the true "whistle-blower." Here are the...

According to multiple reports on Thursday, it looks like the swamp is finally getting drained, or at least partially. More precisely, we’ve just learned that former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has been referred by the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General to the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia for criminal prosecution. Andrew McCabe was fired by AG Jeff Sessions just a couple of days before his retirement, but now the word on the street is that former FBI deputy director lied to investigators with regard to the leaks to the MSM, as per an...
