Don’t Excited About Robert Mueller
Earlier this week it was announced that Robert Mueller would respond to a subpoena from two House committees and testify in open session in Congress.
Even if Mr. Mueller presents new facts not currently in evidence, and that is highly unlikely, there will be no movement by Congress to do anything against the president. It […]
Kellyanne Conway: Should She Stay or Should She Go?
President Trump is feeling pretty invulnerable right now. Between the lack of indictments coming from the Mueller Report, the House’s reticence to initiate impeachment proceedings, the lack of GOP blow back from his comments about taking opposition research from foreign governments, etc. Why would he take advice from the Office of Special Counsel i.e. […]
When I first heard that Donald Trump Jr was being subpoenaed, I assumed that it was a House committee led by the Democrats. I was more than a little surprised that it was the Senate Intelligence Committee.
This subpoena is causing a bit of a stir within the Republican electeds. But the committee chair,
A bit of background on executive privilege:
It all started with President Thomas Jefferson:
Executive privilege is not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, the foundation of U.S. law.
But the Supreme Court has said that it is “fundamental to the operation of government and inextricably rooted in the separation of powers under the Constitution.”

That Pesky Unredacted Mueller Report
I won’t disagree that the unredacted Mueller report can be kept from the public. But given that the major leaders in both the House and Senate, particularly those on the various intelligence and defense committees have full security clearance…there is no reason that they shouldn’t be provided with the full report.

If you were on Twitter or anywhere else in social media over the weekend, you know that President Trump was upset that the first two years of his presidency were stollen (sic). I don’t know who he thinks is responsible.
But maybe I can help clear this up for the president…during the first two year’s […]
This piece over at the Daily Kos was brought to my attention by one of our regular readers. It is a very thorough description of the Wisconsin connection to the Russia/Trump relationship during the 2016 election cycle. It’s well worth the read by one of our regular readers and commenters:
Wisconsin’s Russia-GOP connection. […]
But Voted For Him (Trump) Anyway:
From an article in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the 2020 Presidential Election possibilities in Wisconsin:
In the 2016 election day exit poll of Wisconsinites leaving the voting booth, 64% viewed Trump unfavorably. But 21% of the voters who didn’t like him voted for him anyway.
What is wrong with these people?
In the wake of the release of the redacted Mueller report, the Democrats in the House have been debating whether they should impeach the president or not. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the centrist old guard seem to oppose the action and are looking to roust the president in the 2020 elections. Meanwhile the newer […]
