Despite having traveled for a month in Spain this fall, I don't have any very clear idea what I think about Catalan independence. My friends in Spain, good lefties who live in Madrid and despise the corrupt right-wing government of premier Mariano Rajoy, nonetheless dismiss Catalan separatism as petulant and unrealistic.
Virginia's gubernatorial election stands as a test for the anti-Donald Trump resistance, and whether it can energize voters and donors for the less glamorous races featuring traditional Democratic politicians. The Nov. 7 contest pits Democratic Lt.
A conservative website with strong ties to the Republican establishment triggered the investigation into Donald Trump's past that ultimately produced the dossier that alleged a compromised relationship between the president and the Kremlin. The Washington Free Beacon on Friday confirmed it originally retained the political research firm Fusion GPS to scour then-candidate Trump's background for negative information, a common practice known as "opposition research" in politics.
A thought struck me today as I watched a bit of Fox News both before and after the Mueller indictments hit: the network may actually be hurting Trump by giving him a false sense of confidence. It's common knowledge that Trump watches Fox News religiously, especially Fox and Friends in the morning.
The Clinton team is ramping up its old war room tricks to deal with what is emerging as its own real Russian collusion scandal. One example is its handling of an embarrassing report by the Washington Post that Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee , through a lawyer representing both parties, helped bankroll the largely discredited Fusion GPS dossier compiled by a former British intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, on alleged Trump-Russian connections.
While Hillary Clinton has been in Europe promoting her new book, What Happened , the heavily fortified wall of protection around her is crumbling. night, the Justice Department finally lifted a gag order that prevented a FBI informant from testifying to Congress about Russian attempts to offer bribes, kickbacks, and other incentives to secure approval for the highly controversial Uranium One deal.

His tweets have the power to shape international relations, send stock prices up - or down - and galvanize the American public. We're watching how Donald Trump is using this platform of unfettered communication now that he's commander in chief.
Author and columnist Mark Steyn told Tucker Carlson on Fox News this week that the probes into President Donald Trump's supposed collusion with Russian interests resemble but an outrageous "high-concept thriller" in which he is innocent. On Wednesday, Steyn and Carlson discussed the revelation that a dossier on Trump that may have influenced the FBI and the Department of Justice to investigate then-candidate Trump was created by the research firm Fusion GPS and the behest of Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Right-wing media's latest concoction: Stir a few old stories into the cauldron of Hillary hate. It just might work about the brewing hysteria I saw in the right-wing media over what they're calling the "real Russia scandal."
The Government Accountability Office has accepted a request by a group of U.S. senators to investigate the activities of President Donald Trump's commission on voter fraud. Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota wrote to the watchdog agency last week to request the probe, citing a lack of transparency surrounding the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity .
Hillary Clinton's campaign didn't just pay for the Kremlin-aided smear job on Donald Trump before the election; she continued to use the dirt after the election to frame her humiliating loss as a Russian conspiracy to steal the election. Bitter to the core, she and her campaign aides hatched a scheme, just 24 hours after conceding the race, to spoon-feed the dirty rumors to an eager liberal media and manufacture the narrative Russia secretly colluded with her neophyte foe to sabotage her coronation.
In my earlier analysis of the latest dossier/collusion developments -- which have taken an abrupt turn in the last week, to the dismay of many liberals -- I wrote that newly-revealed and -confirmed details raise serious and uncomfortable questions for both the Democratic Party and the FBI. In a house editorial published today, the Wall Street Journal's editors explicate several of those questions that demand a full accounting.
After being caught red handed this week by the House Intelligence Committee of being behind the funding that produced the infamous Fusion GPS Russian dossier on Donald Trump, two time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is claiming she knew nothing about the payments or the existence of the dossier at all. Further, she's using Barack Obama's excuse of "I learned about it through news reports."

President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans latched onto revelations tying Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to a dossier of allegations about his ties to Russia. The president said on Wednesday it was a "disgrace" that Democrats had helped pay for research that produced the document.
If success has a thousand fathers and failure has none, then who's the daddy of the Fusion GPS story now rocking the Democratic Media Complex? Lest you condemn me as a "science denier," let's stipulate there must be at least two parents, or maybe even three. According to the Washington Post, the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee gave birth to the salacious "Trump Dossier," compiled by the Washington-based research firm of Fusion GPS and a former British spy.
President Donald Trump latched onto revelations tying Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to a dossier of unsubstantiated allegations about his ties to Russia, saying Wednesday that it was a "disgrace" that Democrats had helped pay for research that produced the document. "They're embarrassed by it, but I think it's a disgrace," Trump told reporters, a day after news reports revealed that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, for several months last year, helped fund research that ultimately ended up in the dossier.
Nothing succeeds like success, so the conventional wisdom goes, but in politics, as a skeptic of my acquaintance is fond of reminding me, nothing recedes like success. The Democratic critics of Donald Trump thought Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and lurid suggestions that Russia colluded with the Republicans in nefarious wrecking schemes, would finally do what Hillary Clinton couldn't.
