Cohen, Pecker, and now you can add Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization to the list of people in Donald Trump’s circle who have struck deals with prosecutors. Weisselberg has been given immunity by federal prosecutors to work with them on Michael Cohen’s pending case. On Thursday, it was announced that Trump’s longtime friend, and CEO of American Media, Inc., David Pecker, had also been granted immunity to work with prosecutors. So where are all of... Read more

Ok. It’s Friday and given the week President Trump has already had, one has to wonder if things will cool down for the weekend. I don’t know, but after the news broke on Thursday, regarding Trump’s close friend (and possible co-conspirator), David Pecker signing an immunity deal with prosecutors, you have to know the president didn’t get much sleep last night. Pecker, for those who missed yesterday’s news, is the CEO of American Media Inc.(AMI), the parent company of supermarket... Read more

Call him the mouse that roared. Attorney General Jeff Sessions may be at his end with being the punching bag for President Trump’s stampy-footed, impotent rage. Every time Trump screws up, or it looks like the gears of justice are grinding just a bit closer to him, the lemur-fisted toddler lashes out like a lunatic, and more often than not, he makes Sessions the target. Everybody has their limit. While speaking with “Fox and Friends” host, Ainsley Earhardt, President Trump... Read more

What would be the reason for prosecutors granting people immunity? Asking for a friend. It’s like the news for President Trump keeps getting worse and worse. It’s certainly not getting better. This may actually prove to be the most consequential week of Trump’s presidency. With his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort being found guilty of eight separate felonies, and his longtime attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen pleading guilty to a host of charges, including campaign finance law violations – which... Read more

Oh, she of the unfortunate appellation, today the bells of justice toll for thee. The former NSA contractor, Reality Winner, will serve more than five years in federal prison for a whistleblower stunt that she apparently felt was going to make her some sort of counter-culture celebrity. I get it. The age of Trump. She wanted to be the hero. The problem is, she was, like far too many millennials, really, really dumb about it. Prosecutors said that in May... Read more

What do you do when you’re a politician and  you’ve had a very bad, awful couple of news days? Normal politicians will likely huddle with advisers and experts, assess the damage on every stage – the world stage, national stage, and for the party – before having speech writers craft something to feed to the public in easily digestible chunks. If you’re the barely coherent, free-wheelin’ national embarrassment currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you go on Fox News, where there’s... Read more

A week ago, I covered the horrific story of the grand jury report out of Pennsylvania, revealing the largest sex abuse scandal in the history of the Catholic Church in the United States. The report covered six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania, going back around 70 years. It involved over 300 Catholic priests and over 1,000 broken children. The response through the years of the Catholic Church hierarchy was the absolute wrong response. From the report: “We believe that the real... Read more

Ok. With all the very serious news to crowd the headlines on  Tuesday, it was easy to miss some of the more amusing – although, ultimately benign – stories floating about. One story that popped up, based on a Vanity Fair piece from the weekend, paints a very clear picture of just how unglued President Trump is coming, because of the ongoing probe into Russian interference in our 2016 election. Multiple members of the Trump campaign team have been implicated... Read more

Well, it is shaping up to be one heck of a day in Trumplandia. To get the full scope of what’s going on and the potential for just how bad it could potentially be for President Trump, we need to recap Tuesday’s tumultuous headlines. So several things of interest happened, and truly, the news was coming fast and furious. I couldn’t open enough tabs on my computer to cover it all without causing the world to freeze up. One note... Read more

But we knew this to be the case, didn’t we? I brought you the news of Michael Cohen’s plans to plead guilty to charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, and campaign finance law violation, earlier today. Here is the update. I did it. I’m guilty. I did it all, and Donald Trump told me to do it. That’s basically how it went down. While there is no news of a possible deal struck with authorities overseeing the case,... Read more
