    Please note that the words "nasty," "shrill," and "strident" are never used to describe male politicians.

    Note the mostly buried news that State Dept closed @HillaryClinton email probe with this verdict: no big deal. As a journalist, I regret my role in blowing this story out of proportion.

    The corruption, rot and incompetence of William Barr's Justice Department are extraordinary and heartbreaking.

    State of play: @realDonaldTrump is unfit to run a charity in New York State but fit to control nuclear weapons that could destroy the world several times over.

    Judge Sullivan just named former Judge John Gleeson to investigate the Michael Flynn case. Gleeson and I were colleagues in the US Atty's office in Brooklyn. He is the single best lawyer I have ever encountered. This is a brilliant appointment. #Flynn

    Cohen committed crimes "In co-ordination with, and at the direction of" @realDonaldTrump . Thus, President appears to be co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor of a federal crime.

    Comey's statement establishes obstruction of justice by Trump. Period.

    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

    You heard it here first. There will be calls for a criminal investigation, and probably an actual F.B.I. investigation, of the Democratic nominee for President in 2020. Doesn't matter who it is.

    Forty percent of the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct. #SCOTUS
