Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Susan, I sat thru zillion trials where prosecutors called the operatives ‘undercovers’ & ‘informants,’ while defense lawyers called them ‘spies’ & ‘rats.’ Commonsense people got the point. So no, I’m not even a little concerned. I want to know why done, I don’t care what called.

        I’m not sure you (or polite company) would have felt that way if then-Senator Obama had publicly invited the Russians to hack Senator McCain’s campaign on multiple occasions. But here again, perhaps we disagree.

        Yeah, I want the more basic Q answered tho. A spy is someone collecting for an adversary, an informant is someone collecting for a friend.

        Yeah I'm kind of hoping they drop the mask completely and flog this "spygate" horseshit while referring to Manafort as an informant in the context of those secret briefings he offered to Daily Caller contributor Oleg Deripaska.

        Turley, at least, IS a defense attorney. Andy is not. Which is why his double standards on NatSec are so funny.

        My favorite thing is when people take him seriously. He's Sean Hannity with a law degree.

        Do most former federal prosecutors adopt the stances of defense lawyers and oppose every action taken by the Justice Department, or is it just #NeverTrump National Review people?

        This time next year, Mueller will have published a report, people like McCarthy will be vindicated or finished. We are all speculating, but know Mueller will collect all the evidence, connect the dots and leave it to others to decide.
