Codependants.

Durham Surprises Even Allies With Statement on F.B.I.’s Trump Case

The federal prosecutor leading a review of the origins of the Russia inquiry has a reputation for keeping his mouth shut. At a sensitive moment, he didn’t.

Mitch McConnell, Master of the Blockade, Plots Impeachment Strategy

The Senate majority leader has earned the nickname the grim reaper for his iron-fisted grip on the chamber, but an impeachment trial is harder to control.

A trial is not  a senatorial debate.
The Judge regulates the court.
The managers control the evidende including witnesses.
There is a place for a defense. It can present evidense and witnesses.

McConnell looks to be engaged in jury tampering.

What It Took for a Fox News Psychiatrist to Finally Lose His License

Keith Ablow was a popular fixture on the cable channel until 2017, and a high-profile therapist. He left a trail of vulnerable female patients who claim he abused them.

I have opinions.  I do not broadcast.

How a Poisoning in Bulgaria Exposed Russian Assassins in Europe

For years, members of a secret team, Unit 29155, operated without Western security officials having any idea about their activities. But an attack on an arms dealer in Sofia helped blow their cover.

I would feel better about this story if there were reputable sources quoted.
A shadow war with Russia is possible.
A useful spy story is also possible.
I want better evidence.
