In a column for Politico, Jack Shafer wrote that the former president has long boasted he knows the ins and outs of the court system after decades of civil lawsuits filed against himself and his Organization. Because of that, Shafer suggested the former president is in for a rude awakening when...

The Deep State is continuing its campaign of falsely accusing Donald J. Trump of being a threat to national security, a false and despicable accusation that began with the Big Lie, as was made clear in The Durham Report. The accusation that Mr. Trump colluded with the Russians to win the presidency, was made during the 2016 campaign and was strengthened using the malicious insinuation from 51 former intel officials that the report of Hunter Biden's laptop material was "Russian disinformation.

Donald Trump’s attorneys play a startling role in the federal criminal indictment against him, described not only as unwitting participants in crimes he’s charged with, but also as key potential witnesses in the government’s case. The prosecution brought by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office offers the latest example of risks lawyers face taking on Trump as a client. Michael Cohen, Trump’s former longtime personal counsel-turned-foe, went to prison after pleading guilty to conduct that included work he performed on Trump’s behalf.

Earlier today, the Justice Department indicted Donald Trump on 37 counts related to his retention of classified documents after leaving office in January 2021. A good many Republicans have reacted by claiming that the indictment is "the stuff of a banana republic" (as Trump's former acting attorney general Mat Whitaker put it) or otherwise reminiscent of authoritarian states. Nothing can be further from the truth. There are several different ways of understanding the "banana republic" critique. But none of them actually apply to this case, though some might be appropriate...
