Watergate abuses continue to inform President Trump’s pursuers.

So, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (HJC), fresh off his committee’s disastrous session with Robert Mueller, has announced his intent to obtain access to the secret grand jury testimony taken during the Mueller investigation.

Back in 2015, CEI rated Kane America’s worst state attorney general. As Channel 27 notes, “Prosecutors called Kane’s crimes ‘egregious.’ They say a paranoid Kane ruined morale in [her] 800-person office . . . through a calculated scheme to embarrass rival prosecutors who had left the office.”.......Kane, by contrast, was not just corrupt, but vindictive and mean-spirited. Yet a predominantly liberal national media has paid little attention to her wrongdoing, perhaps out of ideological affinity for Kane.......To Read More.....
