After 12 years, we finally are beginning to put the common sense measures on FBI's use of Section 702 surveillance to show that the concerns we raised over a decade ago were absolutely correct.

John Dowd's desperate attempt to make the Ukraine scandal go away the same way he made the Russia scandal go away involved admitting, in a letter to Congress, that his former client and his current not-yet-but-soon-to-be-indicted clients are in a Joint Defense Agreement with the Russian mob.

Lev Parnas and David Correia incorporated Mendo Cali, LLC in 2014 with Inna Ponomareva, a real estate agent also affiliated with a brokerage specializing in selling South Florida Trump properties to Russians.

The indictment of Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman implicates Trump in a conspiracy with an as yet unnamed Russian donor.

At least 75% of Americans are being erased if they haven’t been already by the remaining uppermost deciles. You, too, are probably erased by the plutarchy.

Yesterday's intransigent letter refusing to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry is nothing more than a rebranding of the same intransigence Trump has been pursuing for nine months.

It's crazy enough that Bill Barr treats George Papadopoulos' hoaxes seriously. It's crazier still that those hoaxes derive not from Papadopoulos' first hand knowledge, but from what he read, often in propaganda sites.
