In Ring 1 a hearing; in Ring 2, a frivolous appeal; in Ring 3, a show of white collar legerdemain. Welcome to the American circus.

Since DOJ's IG revealed that the FBI briefer who attended the first Trump briefing was also part of the Mike Flynn investigative team, Republicans have complained about how badly he was treated. According to the CIA official history, Hillary seems to have been the one treated as a suspect.

Project Veritas and one of its former staffers can't seem to agree when they first learned about Ashley Biden's diary.

It turned a legitimate concern about real Russian interference into American elections into one of the biggest sources of political polarization in recent history.

To bring try his case against Igor Danchenko, John Durham is going to have to convince the FISA Court to let him disseminate information damaging to Carter Page that has been sequestered to protect Carter Page.

Judge Royce Lamberth sentenced two prominent January 6 defendants to 41 month sentences in the last week. One thing both sentencing hearings did -- whether motivated out of genuine remorse or as part of a cynical ploy to butter up a judge -- is reaffirm the legitimacy of the judicial process. Both these men recognized their actions as crimes. Both recognized the legitimacy of a judge imposing sentence for it. And both defendants recognized the professionalism of those at DOJ working to prosecute the case.
