No it's not. It is a clear fact that Hillary got more popular votes than Donald did and facts matter. It is also a clear fact that Trump won the electoral college vote and that is why he is in the White House and not Hillary. I am not one of those who say Trump is not my president. The system...

It seems so. And worse for them still, they seem to be unable to draft a meaningful message or connect with a majority block in a meaningful way. They stand in opposition to one of the most polarizing and agitating presidents in history and they stand like a deer in the headlights. The...

I care. At the very least it presents an appearance of impropriety that public officials should avoid. At worst, it may stand a full-blown conflict of interest that opens the door to an abuse of the power and office the American people vested in Trump, to serve them, not to serve himself...

So, in the next 2018 House of Representatives election, are you going to vote Republican, Democrat, someone else or not at all?

There is a difference. By doing his working vacation at a for-profit country club Trump owns, he revives conflict of interest accusations. That does not help him. He opens himself up to the totally-avoidable criticism that he is using the powers of the presidency to bring positive advertising...

If that is true, why do Americans continue to elect them in large numbers? What's up with the American voters that keep sending such sub-par Republicans to Washington in majority numbers?

Maybe so, but I remain astounded at this lack of action. When you have the White House, one of your best supporters leading the Justice Department and the majority in the senate and house, how much courage does it take to initiate or revive a Hillary probe? In what way is backbone required at...

The same response can be found in the Trump base only in reverse. That response, that way of being politically involved is a concern for me. Civics is not taught in school any more. We are not raising our children to appreciate and respect alternative points of view.

Once again, Trump seems ham-handed in presidential PR. He's on a "working vacation" while the White House undergoes long-needed repairs. He would have been better off if he simply stated he'd be working at a different location. Why introduce the idea of a vacation at all? It also would help if...

I do not disagree with what you said above but remain curious about something. If what you say is accurate, why is the Trump administration, the Republican-controlled House and the Republican Controlled Senate doing seemingly nothing about it? There is absolutely nothing keeping them from...

I Googled this: In the District, of 478,688 registered voters, 287,403 cast ballots, for a 60 percent turnout, roughly the same turnout as in 2012. Prospective grand jurors in D.C. come from the list of registered voters. 60% of them voted, which means 40% did not care enough to show up and...

You seem to have a strong belief that people cannot overcome their biases, whatever their perspective may be. I believe otherwise, as did our Founding Fathers. Because we are dealing with human beings, there will always be flaws in the system but it's the only one we have and it's a good one...

Yes, I would feel very confident that the journalists you name could put their biases aside and look at the evidence objectively. I would say the same if you listed journalists from Breitbart, Fox and other Trump-friendly news outlets. I say that because when I was politically active, I...

It's not that there is no evidence. At present, there is no evidence we know of. The investigations continue in secret. We know what is leaked. We do not know what is not leaked. Also, some would argue that Trump has very publicly and intentionally done much to stop or undermine the...

Overwhelming bipartisan support is a good thing, so no, I would not object in the hypothetical you present. But an FBI-led investigation is unlikely because the Mueller-led probe will continue. His mandate is very broad. There is nothing in it that limits him to Russia stuff. We had an FBI-led...

Is there a reason to leave independent voters unrepresented if you are going to politicize the investigation? Why not have it headed jointly by one Dem, one Rep and one Ind? Or if it is objectivity you seek, why not have it headed by a true independent? Of course, if you are going to open that...

We know that Mueller has financial investigators on his team. That could mean what you suggest above. It could also mean they are looking into Trump's current businesses and the conflicts of interests they create, especially as it regards the emoluments clause of the Constitution. Once the...

All true. These developments are part of a trend that lend support to my prediction that the Republicans who have the power to do so will impeach Trump and replace him with Pence, one of their own. An an additional power center is coalescing and may come to be seen by many populist Trump...

Trust it or not, this is an example of the reporting I am talking about. Grand juries operate in secret so there is much we will not know and should not know. That won't keep the press from speculating and digging, so eventually we will probably know with reasonable certainty whether this is a...

If you are looking for bias, you will likely find it but I don't agree that just because one lives in DC one will be biased against Trump. I recently appeared for jury duty in a murder case. I have a bias against murderers. I also have a bias against cocky young men who prance around projecting...
