Outside the Beltway

The parties do not control their labels.

Yet more allegations.

In truth, not close to enough.

The problem is not the indictment; it is the indicted.

A legal defense without merit.

Politicians and other thought leaders are playing with fire.

The Wall Street Journal failed a key test.

Separating rhetoric from action.

A surprising ruling on the Voting Rights Act.

We’re in uncharted waters.

This time, it’s the feds.

From the “you can’t this stuff up” file.

The courts can’t save us from ourselves.

The worst of the worst Capitol Riot players have been brought to justice.

International law enforcement agencies have made hundreds of arrests.

The problem has intensified—and spread beyond Ukraine secrets.

Some disturbing symbolism.

The huckster is exploiting bankruptcy laws and the financial regulations to circumvent court judgments.

The Manhattan DA could move as early as next week.

A wrongheaded if longstanding position.

The jury forewoman is offering hints.

An aggressive but expected move.

One of these is not like the other.

Just like Trump’s except for every important detail.

An unsavory practice that’s mostly legal.

He’s using a tool he denounced as cruel to deal with a humanitarian crisis.

A dramatic if likely symbolic move.

Makin’ his way the only way he knows how, that’s just a little bit more than the law will allow.

I warned you all, my predictions are notoriously wrong.

Both sides have had their say and now we wait for a ruling.

I mean, really, really, really bad for the former President and his legal team.

It appears that the DOJ has enough evidence to indict someone.
