Hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump gathered outside Trump Tower in New York City, Saturday, to celebrate the end of Special Counsel Robert Mueller´s two year long investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election.The gathering was referred to on social media as a ´Happy No Collusion Day´ rally. Many attendees wore MAGA caps and pro-Trump clothing while holding up banners and waving flags. Local grassroots pro-Trump organizations throughout the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania areas had called supporters to gather, rally and network.

Journalist Lara Logan said Saturday that the response to the Mueller report was striking because of what was not happening: there were no blaring headlines boldly proclaiming the vindication of President Donald Trump. WATCH: (Video)Logan, during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Saturday, argued that if the Mueller report had resulted in indictments or charges of any kind, that would most certainly be the top story in every paper. My question is this: If charges had been brought against the president, then the headlines would all be screaming about, you know, victory, right, for the left. Vindication. This proves that
President Donald Trump spent Saturday golfing with rock superstar Kid Rock, a day after the Russia collusion investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller was completed. The president left his club at Mar-a-Lago and traveled to his Trump International Golf Club on Saturday, but he did not tell reporters who his golfing partners were. The answer was revealed on Twitter hours later, as Kid Rock posted a picture with the president. “Another great day on the links!” he wrote. “Thank you to POTUS for having me and to EVERYONE at Trump International for being so wonderful. What a great man, so down
Democrat 2020 candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke warned from the campaign trail in South Carolina Friday night there may not be another year of America if the Mueller report is not made public. “Republicans and Democrats should do whatever they can to make sure their constituents, the American people, can read that report, form their own judgement, make their own decisions, and that the truth comes out,” O’Rourke said at a campaign stop in South Carolina Friday. O’Rourke warned that America may not see another year if details of Russian interference in the 2016 election included in the Mueller report are
Well, it’s finally here. Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his report on the Russia investigation late Friday afternoon to Attorney General William Barr and the liberal media began to conflagrate. During the early evening buzz on MSNBC’s MTP Daily, host Chuck Todd seemed to express concern over the fact that Mueller allowed President Trump and his legal team to answer written questions, instead of testifying before a grand jury. Speaking with California Congressman Eric “nuke the gun owners” Swalwell (D) on the phone, Todd pressed him on Trump’s form of testimony: This report was concluded without interviewing the President of
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr spent Saturday reviewing the special counsel’s confidential report on the Trump-Russia investigation, but Barr’s “principal conclusions” summary for Congress was not coming for at least another day. No summary for Judiciary Committee leaders — or the public — just yet, said a senior Justice Department official, speaking only on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the review process. Barr has said he expected to send his version to the lawmakers as soon as this weekend after determining what should be made public.
According to most media reporting AG William Barr is meeting with Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein today and reviewing the completed Mueller report. At the end of this review, according to statute, AG Barr will commission a “Principle Conclusion” summary report that he will deliver to congress.(Snip) it is likely the White House will be given the Principle Conclusion Summary around the same time as congress. The White House (executive branch) may also be able to review the full underlying documentation behind the summary…. that’s likely where the political fight for the ‘narrative’ will take place.
Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro vowed a major shake-up in his government, a sign he is feeling pressure from U.S. sanctions and an international outcry for him to resign. “I will in the coming hours announce new government methods and a profound change in the entire government of Venezuela,” Maduro said in a speech at a political rally broadcast on state television. “We need to renew ourselves, refresh, improve, change.” As part of that renewal, he said a new team is needed to tackle the country’s dire social problems after asking for the resignations of his cabinet members last week.
While America is waiting to see what Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller reported, here is a question: Whom does Robert Mueller represent? On whose behalf is he speaking in the document just handed to the Attorney General? Is he speaking for a grand jury? Or the Executive branch? Or for Congress? Or the “United States,” as he suggests in documents he’s filed in court? We raise these questions because Mr. Mueller’s appointment as special prosecutor was opposed by the only officer the Constitution empowers to commission him in the first place.
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s advisers are reportedly asking him to consider pledging to just serve one term in office if he wins his party’s nomination and faces off against President Donald Trump in the general election. (Snip)Biden’s advisers are discussing “a possible pledge to serve only one term” and framing Biden’s 2020 campaign “as a one-time rescue mission for a beleaguered country.” Biden is reportedly “uneasy with the prospect of pledging up front not to seek re-election,” though, “believing that it would make him a lame-duck president before he even takes office and cripple his ability to get anything done.”
What better example for how the left-wing media views the free speech rights of campus conservatives than their ignoring of President Donald Trump’s executive order protecting those rights. (Video) Newsbusters reported Friday evening that the major broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, and NBC – ignored Trump’s executive order in favor of covering New Zealand’s recent “assault weapon” ban. Naturally, Fox News was the only outlet to cover the story in detail, placing it early in the broadcast of “Special Report.” “At a ceremony in the East Room this afternoon, President Trump took a step he hopes will ensure all voices
MSNBC’S Joy Reid on DoJ Handling of Mueller Report: ‘It Feels Like the Seeds of a Cover-Up Are Here’
replies
Saturday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” host Joy Reid suggested the possibility of a cover-up was underway regarding Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and the any alleged wrongdoing of President Donald Trump or his associates. Reid said that given Attorney General William Barr wasn’t recused, unlike his predecessor Jeff Sessions, there could be the “seeds of a cover-up” in place. “That’s the challenge. Unlike the independent counsel, which that statute was allowed to expire after Bill Clinton, which can be a runaway thing of its own — but at least that’s controlled by Congress. In this — which

Late yesterday afternoon, there was a livelier than usual Friday-night news-dump, when the Attorney-General of the United States announced that Robert Mueller had wrapped up his "Russia investigation" and there would be no further indictments. For two years, the prefatory "Russia" has been intended to give the word "investigation" more heft, to make it seem as if there was something more than let´s-get-Trump-on-anything.
Saturday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) offered his thoughts on the completion of Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which was submitted to Attorney General William Barr a day earlier. Lewis insisted Congress will demand the report be released to the public. The Georgia Democrat also said he still believed President Donald Trump’s impeachment was still inevitable. “I think that day will come,” Lewis said when asked by Reid about impeachment prospects. “I don’t think he’s legitimate. I said it back at the end of the election. I still believe that today.”
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Friday told CNN´s Wolf Blitzer his committee is prepared to subpoena Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Attorney General William Barr over the contents of Mueller´s report.

He also said he believes the House Judiciary Committee "called the Attorney General [William Barr]" before them.

Rafi Eitan, the operations commander who captured Adolf Eichmann and former second-in-command to the prime minister, passed away on Saturday morning at age 93. Eitan is most well-known for his service as an intelligence officer. After serving in the IDF in the Yiftach Brigade, he joined the Shin Bet and moved from there to serve the Mossad, where he served as a commander for an operational hybrid unit of the two organizations. Eitan was primarily responsible for the capture of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960. He served in the 1970s as an aide to his friend
There was a superb column at The Federalist on Wednesday by George S. Bardmesser: "Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want to Vote for Trump Twice." It is as hilarious as it is frightening. It is also a courageous confession, especially for a lawyer who lives in D.C. Let´s hope he has personal security. I am betting there are millions of us, many more millions than voted for Trump in 2016, who agree with the man. He was a reluctant Trump-voter but is now completely on board the Trump train. Why?
Speaking at a naturalization ceremony in Texas on March 18, former President George W.

George W. Bush has won his grim battle with history. Various photos showed him inviting dozens of new citizens up to the podium, including Muslims in headscarves, Hispanics, and Africans. Apparently including anyone of European descent would have been bad optics.
Robert Mueller’s investigation is done. There will be no more indictments and the existing indictments have nothing to do with his warrant—namely, claims that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign “colluded” with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential election. You’re hearing and reading a lot of spin (and wishful thinking) right now.(Snip) But if you would like a bit of prescient clarity about all of this, I suggest reading—or re-reading, as the case may be—Victor Davis Hanson’s essay, “Autopsy of a Dead Coup,” which made a bit of a splash in mid-February. Hanson essentially called what happened today
Whispers about the late Senator John McCain’s involvement in spreading the infamous Steele dossier around Washington mostly have been a sidebar to the larger scandal.

Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth. For the Left, their allies in the media, and the Democratic Party, the drumming has been relentless, so severe that dental records might have to be used to identify their bashed in political personas. For two years, these anti-Trump forces said President Trump, his campaign, and the Kremlin colluded to tilt the 2016 election. They thought he was a Putin asset—all of this unadulterated crap that was backed up with zero evidence. Half the country knew this claim was trash. Half didn’t in a pathetic way to cope

For nearly two years, the American public, and quite a few observers overseas, have hung on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s every word and action: each hire, each redaction, each revealing and yet opaque footnote in hundreds of filings. His fans have indulged in devotional candles and meme T-shirts. The document that Mueller delivered to Attorney General William Barr has been so eagerly awaited that its official name might as well be “The Highly Anticipated Mueller Report.” This must be uncomfortable for Mueller, who shuns publicity, doesn’t seem to have much taste for politics, and has maintained a silence
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has reignited the debate over the Electoral College — she wants to get rid of it, naturally. I say “reignited” because this is a very old argument. But I’m going to skip rehashing the usual — and to my mind, persuasive — arguments in favor of the Electoral College. Arguments against it tend to boil down to two gripes: It’s very old-fashioned, and it’s undemocratic. In 2016, the last time we had this kerfuffle, “Handbook of Electoral System Choice” author Josep Colomer wrote in The Washington Post: “The US electoral college is a medieval relic
The news that Morris Dees was kicked out of the organization he founded, the Southern Poverty Law Center, sent shockwaves out among leftists, including the many news outlets that accept without question its verdicts that conservatives are "hate groups."

All day long, even before the Mueller news broke, Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge has really been leaning-forward, giving insight into the pending Inspector General report by OIG Michael Horowitz. Herridge is one of those reporters who is careful not to get out in front of her skis.

There was once a day, or at least Louis Brandeis said there was, when the states were the laboratory of democracy. I cannot personally confirm that rumor.

In the economic realm, as just one example, Washington confiscates much of our wealth and then tells us what to do with the rest.

The liberal media were quick to pounce on the recent killings in Christchurch, New Zealand—loudly and frequently.

Robert Mueller has delivered his report on the Trump-Russia investigation to Attorney General William Barr.
