“How big a deal is it if they don’t find collusion for the president?” ABC “This Week” host Martha Raddatz asked Moran. “Huge,” said Moran. “He’s cleared. If Robert Mueller comes back, Mueller became a folk hero in the United States.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said special counsel Robert Mueller would be making a “mistake” if President Trump isn't brought in to testify under oath for the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Speaking to Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Schiff, D-Calif., said that he hopes Mueller subpoenas Trump or finds a way to get him in front of a grand jury. Mueller hasn’t done so yet, and reports indicate that his efforts are winding down and a final report may soon be incoming...

VIDEO One side effect of desperate liberal hope of salvation from Robert Mueller in the form of his long awaited report is the plethora of Robert Mueller merchandise, Mueller Merch, available on the Web. This video reviews some of the bizarre Mueller Merch along with suggestions about what liberals can do with it after the Mueller Report does not go the way they want.

KIM.COM discusses Seth Rich, WikiLeaks, Mueller not even replying to KIM.COM's letter to Mueller, and to how this fits in with the Russia investigation by Mueller.

Expectations among Democrats are sky-high as reports have emerged about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation coming to an end. In fact, expectations are so intense among some elderly, ill critics of the president that they say they want to try to hang on to see how the story all turns out. As a World War II veteran, Mitchell Tendler had been part of the forces that fought Nazism. And he lived through many historical milestones of the 20th century: the Korean War, then Vietnam, Watergate and the impeachment of President Bill Clinton...

Judge T.S. Ellis, a Reagan appointee to the Federal District Court for Eastern Virginia, is well-known for speaking his mind. Yesterday, in sentencing Paul Manafort, he rebuked Team Mueller’s harsh sentence recommendation of 19-24 years’ imprisonment as “excessive,” and instead set a lot of progressives’ hair on fire by imposing a sentence of 47 months, and recommended counting the nine months of time served (much of it in solitary confinement, imposed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson in a separate case in DC District Court) against that total, meaning just over three years of imprisonment. Paul Manafort's mug shot -...

Paul Manafort was sentenced Thursday to just under four years in prison for a massive fraud scheme tied to his work as a political consultant for Ukraine’s pro-Russian government, according to reports from the Virginia courthouse. The 47-month sentence imposed by federal Judge T.S. Ellis III was far below sentencing guidelines of 19-1/2 to 24 years, which Ellis called “excessive.”

WASHINGTON — President Trump still isn’t ready to release the “devastating” documents he said a few months ago he would drop on Democrats if they continued hounding his administration. “If they play tough, I will do it. And they will see how devastating those pages are,” Trump said during a late November sit-down with The Post. He said he could declassify FISA warrant applications and other documents from special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe — and predicted they would expose the FBI, the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign as being in cahoots to set him up. The president had been...

Over the weekend democrats signaled that the clown show has begun. The realization that Mueller is not going to give them what they want has brought democrats to a frenzy. hillary clinton got out of the gate early proclaiming that democracy is in crisis- a "full fledged crisis": Sunday after receiving The International Unity Award in Selma, AL, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said, we were living through “a full-fledged crisis in our democracy.” Clinton said, “This is a time my friends when fundamental rights, civic virtue, the freedom of the press, the rule of law, truth, facts and reason...

Ty Cobb, the White House attorney who served as President Donald Trump's lead counsel during the early stages of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, called the former FBI director and federal prosecutor an "American hero" in an interview published Tuesday. Speaking on ABC News' "The Investigation" podcast, Cobb also disagreed with the president's assessment that the Russian investigation is a “witch hunt.” "I think Bob Mueller's an American hero,” Cobb, who joined the White House in the summer of 2017 and left in May 2018, said. "I think Bob Mueller's a guy that, you know even though he came from...

Can this possibly be legal? Somebody apparently thinks so, because copies of the Mueller report are being offered for sale online right now, and according to the pre-order announcement the release date is going to be “March 26”. As a former attorney, I have no idea how anyone can legally do this. As I have documented previously, when Mueller is done with his report he is supposed to submit it to Attorney General William Barr, and then it will be up to Barr to determine how much of the report, if any, will be made available to the public. I...

Special counsel Robert Mueller on Monday alerted U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to an Instagram post by Roger Stone that could be in violation of his gag order. The post features Stone’s face under the words “who framed Roger Stone.”

There has never been a more important political investigation that that of Robert S. Muller III's into President Donald Trump's possible collusion with Russia, now introduced by constitutional scholar and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz.

Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday. DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement that senior career ethics officials advised Barr that he should not recuse himself from oversight of Robert Mueller's probe. "Consistent with that advice, General Barr has decided not to recuse," Kupec said. **SNIP** Barr's views in support of executive power and his refusal to commit to publicly releasing the full report at the conclusion of Mueller's investigation also contributed to Democratic opposition to his...

I often wonder who didn’t love Donald Trump. I often wonder who left an affection void that he has tried to fill by winning attention, which is not the same thing. He’s turned his life into a marketing strategy. As Michael Cohen said in his testimony on Wednesday, even the presidential campaign was a marketing campaign to build the Trump brand. In turning himself into a brand he’s turned himself into a human shell, so brittle and gilded that there is no place for people close to him to attach. His desperate attempts to be loved have made him unable...

Several Democrats on Capitol Hill have said that they expect to be disappointed by the Trump-Russia collusion report from Mr. Mueller. The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that there was no evidence of collusion. Chairman Schiff has said that he plans to call the Special Counsel to testify and answer questions. He may think better of that when he considers some of the questions Republicans might ask Mr. Mueller. With a series of well structured questions, much of the entire investigation (witch hunt) can be laid bare. Here are some examples: Mr. Mueller, you have spent over two years and almost...

Cohen’s Testimony against Trump Was Plainly Unethical Illegal Aliens Arrested in Workplace Raid Sue Over ‘Rights’ Canada’s Shameful Highway of Tears 702,000 Overstay Visa Nearly 20 Years after Terrorists Did It on 9/11 Cohen’s Testimony against Trump Was Plainly Unethical If you watched the Democrat’s little circus this week in front of the House Oversight Committee, you may have been alternately angered and amused. The Cohen hearing was an echo of the Kavanaugh hearings. It was a blatant misuse of that hallowed room in the Capitol. Here’s what I wrote for Fox News : Congress and the corrupt Washington...

Congressman Devin Nunes stipulated that all of special counsel Robert Mueller’s activities be made public in addition to whatever report he issues to Attorney General Bill Barr, in a Conservative Political Action Committee panel Friday. Nunes declared that if the Mueller report is to be made public to Congress that then “everything that Mueller did” should be made public including his “emails … everybody they wiretapped.” “Every single thing they used should be made public for all of America to see,” he continued.

Rep. Adam Schiff — a man whose love affair with the TV camera is legendary — is now utilizing his cherie amour and his new position as chair of the House Intelligence Committee to demand that, upon completion, the Mueller/Russia investigation report be published in its entirety — that is, with no redactions, emendations, or edits, for whatever purpose by the attorney general. He's even threatening to subpoena Mueller or sue the Justice Department if the full report is not released. Notwithstanding his risible and tedious grandstanding, the congressman has a point, if only by attrition. Based on past performance,...

During Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on New York AM 970, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich reacted to former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe revealing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein conducted a push to remove President Donald Trump from office. Gingrich called the plot “one of the great scandals in American history.” “[I]f you look at things like McCabe and this whole FBI thing, which is, I think, one of the great scandals in American history,” Gingrich argued to host John Catsimatidis. “The whole idea that your most important law enforcement institution had people who were actively plotting in effect to...
