Bolton v. Putin?

Monday, April 9, 2018

Some more legal musing on Stormy and her pals

Thursday, March 22, 2018

Over at Hullabaloo, digby joins Greg Sargent in speculating that Stormy and Trump’s other accusers may spell real trouble for him. Sargent notes that: As CNN’s Collinson points out, this means Trump may be facing a period of pretrial discovery and possibly a deposition, which “could put Trump in a perilous position.

Told you so, redux

Sound like anyone you know of?

Tuesday, January 9, 2018

So, yesterday I started watching some lectures I got from the Learning Company.
