Mueller's handling of cell phones that got agents fired leads to more questions about his investigation of Trump
Dec 19, 2018 1:00 AM - It's a little complicated, but it appears the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, has uncovered a serious problem relating to the anti-Trump texts exchanged by two former top FBI investigators, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Here is what Horowitz lays out in a new report: Shortly after being appointed in May 2017, Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller hired Strzok and Page. When he did so, he issued them work iPhones. A short time later, Horowitz, who was investigating the department's Hillary Clinton probe, discovered that Strzok and Page, using their old FBI phones, had exchanged virulently anti-Trump text messages. Horowitz told Mueller, who thought the situation serious enough to remove Strzok and Page. Yet it appears the Mueller office stripped Page's iPhone of all data without ever checking on its contents, and they stripped Strzok's iPhone after a perfunctory check that may or may not have taken note of the content of its text messages. When Horowitz asked for and (belatedly) received the phones, he could recover nothing from them.

Urban-rural chasm defines new Western political split
Dec 18, 2018 1:00 AM - For Steve Bannon, the way to create an enduring populist majority is to combine forces on the left and right. That's why he was in Italy earlier this year, where parties representing those two sides joined together in a governing alliance. That's why Bannon hopes to wean some of Bernie Sanders' supporters away from the Democratic Party. But the next place where we might be watching the rise of a new left-right populism is France.

An investigation in search of a crimeDec 17, 2018 1:00 AM - Have the Democrats lost their collective minds? All I hear is impeach, impeach, impeach. We have a system for removing presidents. It's call elections. Choose a better candidate and work to win the election. Trump was just sworn in when the Dems started with the idea of impeachment, trying to find any way possible to undo the wishes of the people who elected him. It seems that Congress has forgotten about the "hush fund," tax money used to hush anyone who might accuse them of wrongdoing. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe it's a crime to have sex with someone than their spouse. And I don't think it's illegal to pay money to stop that person from talking, as long as it is your money. Keep that in mind, Congress.
