Talk About an Incestuous Mess: ‘Swamp Thinks Its Reigned in Mueller’s Trump-Russia Probe…
The Trump-Russia investigation, with its dynamic cast of judges, defenders and prosecutors, can have the look of an exclusive club.

What President Trump called “the swamp” is often […]
Presidents Have Declared 58 States of Emergency Since 1979. 31 Are Ongoing…

Hiding Evidence: The Continuing Cover-Up…
More information is supporting the theory that the current big Justice Department “investigations” are actually functioning as big cover-up operations. Robert Mueller’s team is effectively hiding key evidence related to serious crimes committed by government officials.
