Michael Cohen says he will plead the Fifth Amendment in Stormy Daniels case By Christal Hayes USA TODAY April 26, 2018 President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen says he will plead the Fifth Amendment in the case brought by adult film star Stormy Daniels. Cohen made the assertion in a signed statement filed in federal court Wednesday.

Megyn Kelly’s Spectacular Failure Can No Longer Be Denied By Isha Aran Splinter April 25, 2018 Once again, NBC is coming to terms with the idea that maybe they shouldn’t have spent all that money to bring on Megyn Kelly.

By Larry Klayman Newsmax April 24, 2018 The American people — that is those who care about eliminating what now appears to any sane individual to be a dual system of justice — are not stupid. While predictions by Sean Hannity during last night’s show that the hammer is about to come down on Special Counsel Robert Mueller, his compromised leftist prosecutors, James Comey, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch and others (who Sean claimed near sole credit for having ensnarled in supposed government criminal investigations), this is no time to drink the Fox host’s “Kool Aide”…
Opinion | Rod Rosenstein has made two critical missteps By Harry Litman Washington Post April 23, 2018 In recent weeks, he has capitulated to political pressure from the president and his allies in Congress. He has yielded to demands from the most rabid opponents of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe in a way that harms the long-term interests of the Justice Department and likely does little to protect the probe or Rosenstein’s own job. To be fair to Rosenstein, he is under enormous, improper pressure from his ultimate boss, the president of the United States, as…
