It was the call issued in 1968 by country music's "First Lady," Tammy Wynette, instructions famously spurned in 1992 by then-First Lady Hillary Clinton as she waved away allegations of sexual impropriety against her husband. "You know, I'm not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette," Clinton said in a "60 Minutes" interview.
President Donald Trump staunchly defended his embattled Supreme Court nominee against a new allegation of sexual misconduct Monday, calling the accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh "totally political." The president spoke a day after a second allegation emerged against Kavanaugh, a development that further imperiled his nomination to the Supreme Court, forced the White House and Senate Republicans onto the defensive and fueled calls from Democrats to postpone further action on his confirmation.
In 2016, attorneys Debra Katz and Lisa Banks were preparing to buy white pantsuits as "a sign of solidarity" with Hillary Clinton on her potential presidential inauguration day. Katz believed that Clinton spoke for all women, from the early suffragists to modern-day feminists.
MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow had Hillary Clinton on her show Tuesday to discuss Christine Blasey Ford's accusations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school, and asked if she believed Kavanaugh deserved due process, bringing up allegations against Bill Clinton as a comparison. "If he is absolutely innocent of this charge, if this didn't happen the way Professor Blasey Ford says it did, and that is what Judge Kavanaugh asserts, do you think that the Senate is capable of giving him due process? I've seen allegations like this -- there are lots of allegories for this and lots of times in politics," Maddow said.
Former independent counsel Ken Starr says that he see "eerie similarities" between his four-year-long investigation into President Bill Clinton and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of President Donald Trump. Begun in 1994, Starr's investigation into a failed real estate deal in Arkansas, known as Whitewater, evolved into a probe of the president's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
In an alternate universe in which Bill Clinton resigns rather than outlast impeachment, his wife perhaps doesn't run -- and there might not be a President Trump. Moreover, Republicans might find it tougher to dismiss a sex-related impeachment charge.
Democrats are on the cusp of overhauling how they pick a White House nominee, but not without one final public fight over whether to curtail the high-profile role played by party insiders, a major source of ill will in the 2016 race. The decision expected later Saturday was seen as the latest test of party unity as Democrats try to close the internal divisions exposed by the battle between eventual nominee Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and turn their attention to the November elections, with control of Congress at stake, and the presidential contest in 2020, when President Donald Trump would be up for a second term.
Crowdfunding sites have allowed millions of people to raise money for their causes, including a growing number of individuals ejected from President Donald Trump's orbit who have raised nearly $2 million from online donors. In recent months, four people who found themselves on the wrong side of the law and the wrong side of the Trump White House have garnered tremendous public support with tens of thousands of mostly anonymous, small donors offering money to pay for lawyers fees, personal damages and lost income.
Vice President Mike Pence once argued the president of the United States should be held to the highest moral standards to determine whether he should resign or be removed from office. Pence made the argument in two columns in the late 1990s, where he wrote that then-President Bill Clinton's admission of an affair with a White House intern and prior lies to the public about the matter, possibly under oath, meant Clinton should be removed from office.
This has never happened before," Lockhart, who served under former President Clinton, said on CNN's "Reliable Sources." "We've had great presidents, we've had terrible presidents, Republicans and Democrats, but we've never had anything like this - where we have a president who is incapable of telling the truth."
For a number of years, I've been baffled by the number of people who support political parties in contravention of their own interests. For many years, I had a colleague who expressed blind loyalty to the Republican Party.
President Trump took to Twitter Friday morning to deny that he knew about his son's meeting in Trump Tower in June 2016, following news that his CBS News' Paula Reid confirmed Friday night that Cohen is willing to tell Mueller that Mr. Trump knew of the meeting involving Donald Trump Jr., top campaign officials and a Russian lawyer in advance, although Cohen has no evidence to offer that corroborates his claim. Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, and onetime-campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in Trump Tower in a meeting Trump Jr. arranged when he believed the Russian lawyer had damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"Make America Great Again!" will, given the astonishing victory it produced for Donald Trump, be recorded among the most successful slogans in political history. Yet it raises a question: How did America first become the world's greatest economic power? In 1998, in "The Great Betrayal: How American Sovereignty and Social Justice Are Being Sacrificed to the Gods of the Global Economy," this writer sought to explain.
Yesterday I noted that Republicans now dominate many old blue collar manufacturing districts that used to tilt decisively Democratic as recently as Bill Clinton's time. And one of the Democrats who has made some noises about how the neglect of the working class in the heartland has been a mistake for Democrats is Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, who unsuccessfully challenged Nancy Pelosi for the leadership of the House Democratic caucus after the last election.
It's hardly a surprise that Donald Trump broke with longstanding presidential practice and publicly criticized the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates. Trump told CNBC on Thursday that he was "not thrilled" with signals from the Fed that it planned to raise interest rates.

Democrats had no issue with Russia when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did her infamous "Russian Reset" or gave the Russians 20 percent of U.S. uranium. They had no issue with Russia when former President Barack Obama was caught on a hot mic telling former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he'd have "more flexibility" after the 2012 election.
The long-awaited questioning of the FBI agent at the heart of the 2016 election probe was always expected to be one for the history books. But Congress outdid itself.
