How U.S. Intelligence Agencies Underestimated North Korea By David E. Sanger and William J. Broad New York Times January 6, 2018 WASHINGTON — At the start of Donald Trump’s presidency, American intelligence agencies told the new administration that while North Korea had built the bomb, there was still ample time — upward of four years — to slow or stop its development of a missile capable of hitting an American city with a nuclear warhead. The North’s young leader, Kim Jong-un, faced a range of troubles, they assured the new administration, giving Mr. Trump time to explore negotiations…

By Larry Klayman WND January 5, 2018 Since I conceived of and founded Judicial Watch in 1994, about 24 years ago, and later Freedom Watch, I have seen what amounts to “kabuki theatre” among federal law enforcement over and over again, much to my regret.

Paul Manafort’s Desperate Legal Gamble By Norman Eisen and Conor Shaw POLITICO Magazine January 5, 2018 When faced with the choice of whether or not to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller, George Papadopoulos and Michael Flynn reached the same wise conclusion: far better to strike a deal than bet on unknown contingencies such as presidential pardons. But former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has made a very different calculation.

Roy Moore’s real Jewish lawyer is a Liberty University graduate who ‘has accepted Christ’ By Derek Hawkins Washington Post January 5, 2018 The identity of Roy Moore’s mysterious Jewish attorney has been revealed — again. And, as it turns out, he’s not exactly Jewish. Several publications, including The Washington Post, had identified Richard Jaffe, a prominent Jewish defense lawyer, as the person the failed Republican Senate candidate’s wife, Kayla, was likely referring to when she said during a rally last month that “one of our attorneys is a Jew.” Jaffe had represented the couple’s son on a drug…
