Given reports that Mueller will "report" imminently, I'm not sure I'm going to finish the second version of my Quid Pro Quo series laying out the evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia trading campaign help and real estate…

Scandals surrounding cabinet officials should have resulted in the firing or resignation of two, possibly three secretaries. But the news media is sucked into covering a single celebrity story instead of reporting more fully on stories affecting our common welfare.

Amy Berman Jackson used yesterday's hearing to do what virtually no one has ever done with Roger Stone: establish that his language is not harmless and fun, but instead a danger to society.

A look at the rationale behind CNN's hiring of Sarah Isgur Flores. (This is an open thread.)

The only way that Mueller is releasing The Report this week is if he's going to try to indict the President, which is highly unlikely to happen. Still, we will get a report, of sorts, this week.

Amy Berman Jackson just ruled that Paul Manafort lied when he denied committing crimes in conjunction with Trump's campaign.
