Jeff Flake criticized President Donald Trump for encouraging the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate his political opponents, telling CNN's "New Day" on Monday it isn't "normal" presidential behavior.

A year after his surprise election victory, President Donald Trump is underperforming expectations and lagging behind his predecessors, with the lowest job approval of any postwar president at this point in office, broad distrust across a range of issues and majority belief that he's not delivering on his campaign promises. Yet for all his shortcomings, Trump runs a dead heat with Hillary Clinton among 2016 voters in a hypothetical rematch in this ABC News/Washington Post poll, underscoring Clinton's own enduring unpopularity.
Despite denials by the White House and dismissive right-wing media coverage, special counsel Robert Mueller's opening salvo - the indictments and a guilty plea - has stunned Washington for its aggressiveness, legal positioning and comprehensive strategy that suggests the Trump campaign and White House's problems will only deepen.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union about 25 years ago, it was said that humanity had reached "the end of history": the Cold War was over and capitalism, along with liberal democracy, had won. Seventy-five years after the Bolsheviks came to power in the October revolution of 1917, the Russian revolution was no longer widely hailed as an international model for workers' activism.

Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz responded on Twitter to a host of criticisms over comments he made about the Russia probe, telling CNN host and former Hillary Clinton campaign press secretary Brian Fallon "Shame on you" for suggesting he was being paid by President Donald Trump, Lawnewz.com reported Sunday. The tweets came following an appearance by Dershowitz on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Saturday.
The dueling across Sunday news shows was triggered by the disclosure that Donna Brazile, the interim Democratic leader during the final months of the campaign, considered an effort to replace Clinton as the presidential nominee because of health concerns. "The charge that Hillary Clinton was somehow incapacitated is quite frankly ludicrous," said Tom Perez, who took over as Democratic National Committee chairman after Donald Trump won the election.
CNN host Brian Stelter called out White House Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway on Sunday for pivoting to Hillary Clinton every time he asked about possible collusion between President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian agents. "You want to talk about approval ratings and I'm telling you the numbers that matter to Americans," Conway snapped at Stelter.
Following Donna Brazile's claim that Hillary Clinton's campaign bankrolled the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election, the former interim chair of the DNC says she found "no evidence" the Democratic primary was rigged. She told ABC that she was concerned about the level of control the Clinton campaign could exert by financing the DNC's operations through a joint fundraising agreement.

Hillary Clinton is so thoughtful. As busy as she is peddling a book that blames her election loss on everyone but herself - including members of her own party - the 2016 Democratic nominee still makes time to worry about others.
For all the obvious reasons, the Republican party gets most of the attention these days. For starters, it controls the White House, the Senate, and the House, and the party in power always warrants more scrutiny, even when it's operating smoothly.
"Yeah, I'm not Patsy the slave because I got sick and tired of people trying to tell me how the spend the money," Brazile said. Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile said she's frustrated by the reaction of Hillary Clinton's campaign staffers who have criticized her opinions on what the Clinton campaign got wrong in the 2016 election.
Can it really be true? Are we finally over the years of both Bill and Hillary Clinton's coordinated grip on American politics? From all indications, the book scheduled for release November 7 written by former interim DNC chair Donna Brazile, "Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House," will certainly bring that question into play. In order to protect her own reputation, she has clearly thrown Hillary Clinton under the bus.
