Dean Flop, Acosta's Conspiracies, Flag Flap |
Dean Flop Yesterday's House Judiciary Committee hearing featuring former Watergate felon John Dean was a complete flop. Conservative members of the committee were well-prepared and they peppered Dean with tough questions. Dean has made a career out of attacking every Republican president since Nixon, declaring that some event in their administration was "worse than Watergate." |

Remembering D-Day, Could We Do It Again |
Remembering D-Day Today at the American cemetery in Normandy, France, President Trump may have reached the rhetorical peak of his presidency. He connected with the deep roots of America and Western Civilization in much the same way he did during his excellent address in Warsaw, Poland. There have been many speeches by world leaders at Normandy. Most of them are forgettable. On rare occasions, their rhetoric rises to the level of remarkable and inspiring. |

Mueller Speaks, Transparency vs. Secrecy, Thomas vs. Ginsburg |
Mueller Speaks Special Counsel Robert Mueller addressed reporters and the American people for the first time today. He declared that his investigation was over, that his office was closing and that he was resigning from the Justice Department. Like the investigation and Mueller report itself, today's statement by the special counsel is unlikely to change any minds. Those who want to impeach the president still want to impeach him. Nancy Pelosi is still in a difficult position. Those who want to move on still want to move on. |
