Clinton mulls role in 2018 midterms By Amie Parnes and Mike Lillis TheHill December 21, 2017 Hillary Clinton has all but avoided appearing at campaign events since her stunning 2016 loss, but some Democrats believe she would be a welcome voice in the 2018 midterms.

A ‘coup in America?’ Fox News escalates anti-Mueller rhetoric. By Samantha Schmidt Washington Post December 18, 2017 President Trump and his supporters at Fox News have used many words to describe the investigation by special counsel Robert S.
