There's more going on than meets the eye, a casual search reveals. Why was a bank and tax fraud and money launderer involved in identity theft monitoring?

Andy McCarthy's response to the Schiff memo is mostly bullshit. But he raises an important point I've been raising: if FISC permitted FBI an unlimited search of Carter Page's devices, then it would have permitted surveillance of the Trump campaign.

It was just a single act of microaggression. There may be worse ahead; making nice is a luxury for some of us.

Abbe Lowell is the kind of defense attorney who will always put on a brave face and blab to the press. Until these most recent clearance woes for Jared Kushner.

The biggest piece of news in the Schiff memo is that Joseph Mifsud told George Papadopoulos (who then told Alexander Downer) that Russia would release the dirt they had to help the Trump campaign. That makes the June 9 meeting far more damning.

Alex Van der Zwaan seems to be as unaware as Hope Hicks about how accessible PRISM communications with foreign targets are to the FBI.

Open thread for you folks to talk about the latest developments in the Trump-Russia investigation, including Manafort's rejected bail package and fresh charges filed today.

Applying my understanding of the way Robert Mueller is using conspiracy to defraud the United States charges to prosecute influence peddling no longer covered by our regulatory system, Jared Kushner's futile attempt to get a security clearance has probably sunk him the way Paul Manafort's attempt to post bail has.

This is an open thread dedicated to this morning's news -- Team Mueller's charged Alex van der Zwaan with false statements, a 17th name pops up, and look, a father-in-law in the mix, too!

Well isn't this interesting? From Diplopundit last Friday comes a post with this title: Tillerson Meets Erdoğan in Ankara With Turkish Foreign Minister as Interpreter. Notice anyone missing?
