Larry Klayman flays ex-FBI director over mid-probe exoneration of Hillary By Larry Klayman WND September 1, 2017 The most famous late-night comedian of all time, Johnny Carson, used to have skit called “Carnac the Magnificent,” whereby, clad in a turban, the soothsayer would ordain the future by first giving the answer, and then the question. Embedded visually below, but only for comic amusement, is one of Johnny’s schticks. Unfortunately, however, while Carson was a genius, and funny to boot, our former director of the FBI, one James B. Comey, was neither smart, humorous nor honest during his tenure.…
‘We don’t answer to him’: McCain calls Trump ‘poorly informed,’ ‘impulsive’ in scathing op-ed By AOL Staff AOL.com September 1, 2017 In a blistering op-ed for the Washington Post published Thursday night, the Arizona Republican called on Americans to focus on “shared values” rather than differences.

Klayman joins Grant Stinchfield on NRA-TV Freedom Watch TV September 1, 2017
By Steven Nelson Washington Examiner September 1, 2017 Launching a renewed investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state would not run afoul of the Constitution’s double jeopardy clause, which bans prosecution twice for the same crime, experts say. “The double jeopardy clause ban only applies to prosecutions, not investigations. So there is no constitutional bar to reopening the investigation,” said Susan Herman, a professor at Brooklyn Law School and president of the American Civil Liberties Union. Continue Reading…..
Exclusive: Mueller Enlists the IRS for His Trump-Russia Investigation By Betsy Woodruff The Daily Beast September 1, 2017 Special counsel Bob Mueller has teamed up with the IRS.

By Alan M. Dershowitz, opinion contributor TheHill August 31, 2017 Brent Budowsky criticizes me for allegedly saying that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation “endangers democracy.” He quotes a story from The Hill that puts the words “endangers democracy” in quotation marks following the unquoted words, “special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.” But if he had gone back to the original source, he would have seen that The Hill quoted the words “endangers democracy” completely out of context. I used these words not to describe Mueller’s investigation, but rather, in reference to…
