Outside the Beltway

A correct but disturbing ruling.

Being nice at dinner is easy.

When does Executive overreach become something more?

The 47th President is flooding the zone.

About half the country wants about half of Trump.

Another state has declared him an insurrectionist.

Joe Manchin has come around on a pared back BBB, surprising just about everyone.

Democrats and Independents are losing their enthusiasm. But some perspective is needed.

Continuing the conversation from James Joyner’s post.

The House Judiciary Committee is seeking to obtain the material presented to a Federal Grand Jury by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

On documents and the degree to which they speak for themselves.

Perhaps NRO’s Charles W. Cooke needs to read the report (and do a better job of putting Mueller’s statements in context).

We already know enough to impeach.

As I have noted before: party trumps institutional pride. The Barr testimony is just another example.

Robert Mueller objected to the Attorney General’s characterization of the final report he submitted, reports indicate.

The findings are a dispiriting Rorschach test.

Another demonstration that evidence doesn’t much matter in modern American politics.

Before we draw broad conclusions of the reporting on the report, don’t we need to see the report?

The Lawfare gang and Popehat weigh in.

The principal findings of the Mueller report are now public. They’re good news for the President on Russia and a mixed bag on obstruction.

Robert Mueller appears to be winding down his investigation and getting ready to submit a report to the Attorney General.

Citing substantial cooperation, Special Counsel Robert Mueller is recommending no jail time for former Trump associate Michael Flynn.

Another morning, and another unhinged Twitter attack on the Mueller investigation by a President who claims the entire investigation is a “hoax” and “Fake News.”

More evidence that the politics of the moment aren’t just about illegal immigration.

The battle of Iowa is beginning with Mitt Romney in the lead, but Herman Cain and Sarah Palin aren’t far behind.

Herman Cain is getting a lot of attention lately, but will he amount to anything?

Herman Cain: candidate du jour or something more permanent?

Gallup takes the first look at the GOP field after Huckabee, Trump, and Daniels dropped out.

There have been no significant surveys of the Republican field taken since the announcement that frontrunners Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump and Establishment darling Mitch Daniels have dropped out of the race.

Is Donald Trump back in the race? Not yet, but he hasn’t ruled it out.

Mitch Daniels, the candidate of George Will and a host of mainstream Republicans hoping for something better in 2012, has announced he will not be running for president in 2012.

When one realizes that Trump is basically a brand, rather than anything else, his PR foray into politics makes more sense.

All signs are that Michele Bachmann is running for president. What impact will she have on the race?

Does the Donald Trump flame-out provide any kind of guide to other candidates? Only if they want to host a reality show.

With Huckabee out, the right side of the GOP primary base may end up divided. And that will help Mitt Romney.

With co-frontrunner Mike Huckabee out, Mitt Romney looks stronger than ever.

Mike Huckabee’s decision not to run has shaken up the GOP field for 2012.

We won’t have Mike Huckabee to kick around in 2012.
