It appears that DOJ standards have changed.

It’s shameful.

The more distant we are from an actual military threat, the more imperative it should be to obtain authorization from the people’s representatives.

This is significant, but administration tactics have created openings for district judges to intrude in such cases.

It’s an incomprehensible case.

The irony is that no one on earth, not even Donald Trump himself, is more responsible for Trump’s presidency — now in its second term — than Jim Comey.

This is worth watching.

By openly demanding prosecutions of Comey, James, and Schiff, Trump has virtually assured there will be no prosecutions of those figures.

Even assuming he is correct that these are narco-terrorists, Trump has offered no justification under the Constitution and the laws of war.

Congratulations, Democrats. You’re now living in the world you created.

The White House says the president will appeal to the Supreme Court.

It’s likely that Lisa Cook will prevail in the short term, for three reasons.

A state murder case, by contrast, would be a slam dunk.

Laws such as this play into the hands of anti-enforcement progressives.

While there are reasons to be skeptical of Carroll’s claims, Trump has himself to blame for the legal blunders that led to the astonishing outcome.

It’s a case he should lose, but it’s no slam dunk.

Trump’s lethal strike on a ship ‘transporting illegal narcotics’ raises yet more questions.

Are America’s interests truly being served in the president’s diplomatic push?

Even if the claims are true, it doesn’t make it less petty to pursue a criminal investigation against him.

He is technically adhering to Congress’s rules for the Federal Reserve, regardless of whether his motives are pure.

It was certain that his release would be short-lived.

The president is still playing with fire.

This is a significant victory for the president.

The DOJ missive is not a legal argument. It is pure political intimidation.

While Congress may override state election regulations, the president has no such power.

The Justice Department could appeal the ruling, but doing so would be foolish.

This is a case that was dead and buried.

If there were a criminal offense that fit, Gabbard and Trump would cite it, rather than chanting ‘treason.

Prepare for more ousters of interim appointees.

There’s probably no prosecutable federal case, since the statute of limitations has expired.
