More troops being sent to the Southern Border to stop the attempted Invasion of Illegals, through large Caravans, into our Country. We have stopped the previous Caravans, and we will stop these also. With a Wall it would be soooo much easier and less expensive. Being Built!

Judge TS Ellis of Virginia made no effort to hide his disdain for the special counsel’s office from the moment Mueller’s team entered his courtroom. He seemed offended by the very idea of a special counsel. It’s fair to wonder whether those views effected his decision today.

We are now treated to the spectacle of Republican members of Congress threatening an FBI agent unless he answers questions about a pending, secret criminal and counterintelligence investigation. America, 2018.

I could have sworn that the president's stated reason for firing Comey was that Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton.

As it has turned out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!

He didn’t just repeat it—he expanded on it. He said two courts had ruled there was no collusion, a statement so far from reality that it’s hard to imagine it was accidental.

In more than half a century in law, I have never before seen a lawyer rebuked in court for a false statement then go outside before cameras and repeat the same lie. What is he thinking?
