By CCN: A surprise statement and resignation from special counsel Robert Mueller did little to help the wobbling stock market on Wednesday. The Dow briefly fell beneath 25,000 before rallying to back to 25,126, down 221 points for the day. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq closed down 0.79%. Mueller made it clear he did not exonerate the President but had no valid court to try him in. This appeared to be...
By CCN: Rod Rosenstein is the latest high ranking official to depart the White House. The man who oversaw the widely publicized Mueller Report is heading for the hills for fear of a grilling from both Democrats and Republicans. One of Trump’s favorite punching bags, the Deputy Attorney General’s letter of resignation is a strange combination of justifying his actions and praise for his former...
By CCN: Following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's comprehensive report into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. has issued a comprehensive 120-page rejoinder, accusing the U.S. of "Russophobia."

By CCN -- Here’s a safe bet: Now that Attorney General William Barr has published a redacted version of the Mueller report, social media addict Donald Trump is going to tweet about it. Here’s a more interesting wager: How many times?

By CCN: The Mueller Report is here, and while there are many frustrating redactions, there are plenty of exciting tidbits for the talking heads to chew on. Among the juiciest bits is evidence that Donald Trump Jr. did have direct contact with WikiLeaks.
This should draw attention back to comments from Donald Trump who claimed to know nothing about the shadowy whistle-blowers.
By CCN: The Dow plowed higher on Thursday, even as Wall Street breathlessly waited for US Attorney General William Barr to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into the 2016 Trump campaign. But though touted by liberals as a reckoning for Donald Trump, the Mueller report is really just a smokescreen, at least so far as the stock market is concerned. Dow Climbs as...
It’s like talking to a brick wall. House Democrats are so determined to get their hands on the full Mueller report that they are ignoring anyone who says that classified information in it can’t be released. After making a barrage of threats demanding the full report, the Democrats voted to authorize a subpoena ordering that Attorney General William Barr give them the document. It was written by...
Democrat Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, still insists there's "ample evidence" of collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign even though special counsel Robert Mueller concluded there was no collusion. Schiff Claims He Accepts Mueller's Conclusion Schiff made the inane remarks on MSNBC (video below). Schiff disingenuously claimed that he accepts...
There's a 2,500-year-old Greek fable by Aesop which tells of a snake that ate a bird's babies at a town's Hall of Justice. The moral? It's a dangerous world, and just because there's a sign imprinted with the word "justice," it doesn't make it a just world. Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent nearly $35 million of taxpayer money since May 2017 — leading a DOJ investigation that damaged President...
The debacle is over. After two long and wasteful years, special counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report to the Department of Justice (DOJ) only to prove what many of us already knew… That no collusion occurred between President Trump and Russia. Muller’s report says that neither Trump, nor any of his aides coordinated or conspired with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential...
US President Donald Trump might have expected a massive stock market bounce following the bombshell revelation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 675-day-long investigation into the Trump campaign had failed to expose any evidence of collusion with the Russian government. However, the Dow struggled to mount much of a rally following a bloodbath in the Asian markets. Dow Flounders in First...
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's long-awaited report is finally out, and it is not good news for the Democrats who believed it would be their golden ticket to oust President Donald Trump in 2020 - if not sooner. Many senior Democrats had already started distancing themselves from the probe fearing that it would not amount to much. Those fears have been borne out with a Justice Department official...
