The very public past life of Trump proved a number of things about the man: his obsession with public fame achieved through cringe-worthy and relentless self-promotion; his amoral ease with wrongdoing in personal and professional life; his need to lie blatantly, consistently and compulsively; his appalling hypocrisy in religious, political and patriotic idealism; and his complete disregard for the American Constitution, the rule-of-law, and the dignity of the Presidential Off

Finally, reportedly, there are murmurs of discontent surfacing from Robert Mueller’s investigators that ‘Attorney General William Barr did not do the Mueller Report justice’, in his 4-page summary. It is possibly the most significant, cynical understatement of the year. Significant, because on it hangs the truth about Trump and his teams activities during and after the Election Campaign; cynical, because for years now the Republican Party has proven itself unable to tell the

The much anticipated Mueller Report is finally out, and its four page summary by Attorney General (AG) William Barr seems to have stirred as much controversy as anything to do with Trump usually does. According to AG William Barr, in the Report, Mueller clears Trump of collusion, but on the ‘Obstruction’ issue, decides not to charge Trump but - ‘does not exonerate him’ either. Well, as can be imagined Trump and his supporters claim ‘total exoneration’, even though according t

The United States has a President in Donald Trump who thinks he is above the law, and the lawmakers, officials, and the institutions of the country are there primarily to serve and protect him, and if they don’t, regardless of how well they do their respective jobs, they are incompetent, disloyal and need to be removed and replaced with someone more compliant with much greater sensitivity to his personal and political needs. From day one, he has demanded fealty, and public di

Since just over a year ago, when Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump got elected as the next President of the United States, all norms expected of the American President’s Office and his administration’s behavior have been so violated that the extreme and outrageous abnormalities with which Donald Trump and his team of handpicked inner circle have behaved, is now the new normal of the absurd, bordering on the criminal. To think that a modern day American adminis

Last week, the fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony was a major league event in American politics. Large segments of the American and international audience were giddy with anticipation and excitement, and Comey didn’t disappoint as he gave a riveting testimony. Yesterday, Attorney General Jeff Session’s rebuttal to Comey’s testimony was looked forward to with the excitement of the next episode of an exciting television series. In reality, Session’s testimony and rebutt

Donald Trump acts to protect himself and his associates from an ever encroaching FBI led investigation that was perhaps getting to close for comfort. So he fired James Comey, Director of the FBI, who refused to publicly exonerate him, and was the man who was heading the investigation into Trump and his associates, and their relationships with Russia. To fire the man that is investigating you is a rare privilege that Trump the President was not shy to exploit, even if it broke

At the Congressional Intelligence Committee ‘Open’ Hearings (not classified); FBI Director James Comey dropped what amounted to a bombshell on the Trump administration, America, and the rest of the interested World. The FBI Director told the Committee and the American people that, authorized by the Department of Justice, the FBI was undertaking a counter-intelligence investigation into efforts by the Russian government, in interfering in the 2016 U.S. Election, ‘and that incl

The most memorable and distinguishing trait of the Trump Presidency, so far, has been the blatant lying that has shocked the American politicians (no mean feat), the press and the public. The rest of the World has been mesmerized by the spectacle Trump has made of the ‘Great’ America since his campaign and his election, by his ridiculous statements and behavior, that has made America seem more like the most dysfunctional ‘Banana Republic’ with corrupt, tragic and sadly comica
