Three former prosecutors break down the labor secretary’s explanation of the cushy plea deal he cut.

Feds in Florida cut an infamous sweetheart deal with the confessed billionaire sex predator. The ‘sovereign’ district of New York isn’t likely to do that.

The Mueller Report contains a case against the president as strong as many we saw working as federal prosecutors.

The attorney general had neutral ways to relay what the special counsel found. Instead, he’s being coy. It’s hard not to infer bad reasons from how he’s acting.

Matthew Whitaker says the investigation is ‘close to being completed.’ If true, why did the Special Counsel say so much about the Trump campaign and execute search warrants?

There have been questionable moves before. But the president’s reported lashing-out at his acting attorney general is truly problematic.

As a cooperator, Trump’s ex-campaign chairman was dangerous to other targets. As a liar, he could be utterly destructive.

Prosecutors won’t likely charge a sitting president, yet have implicated him in a criminal scheme to pay off Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. What to do then? Go to Congress.

The president frames the deputy attorney general’s future around their ‘relationship,’ not faithfulness to the Constitution. This threatens Mueller, even if his boss isn’t fired.

There’s no other way to put it: the cooperation agreement with the president’s ex-campaign chief is stunning.
