Roger Stone was on Meet The Press this morning attempting to thwart the effects of Mueller's tightening noose. It did not go so well. Stone claimed that his October 2016 tweets in advance of WikiLeaks release of hacked Podesta emails were based on publicly available information provided by Julian Assange in a June 2016 interview. … Continue reading Roger Stone Is A Liar – Part 3

In a poorly named (by the PPH editorial team) op-ed to the Portland Press Herald last month, I said: "If The Times does not beat him to it with an inside scoop, I suspect there is one final Mueller report to come that officially confirms a Trump campaign-coordinated handoff of Russian-hacked DNC-Clinton emails from Russia … Continue reading Mueller Closing In On Trump/Russia Collusion

But that is not the subject of … Continue reading “Staggeringly Corrupt”

The New York Times, of course, is hyperventilating about the Michael Flynn news, because, well: Trump, Russia, Trump, Russia.
