News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Meaning in this other than you have to pay your taxes, and you cant lie on a loan application. Time is going to tell who is to be trusted around here and who isnt. Including everybody. We begin there with the president in crisis and the stunning fact, yes, fact, that the foundation of that crisis. The president of the United States is an unindicted coconspirator in a felony Campaign Finance case. If that isnt enough, the Special Counsel won convictions on eight counts in his first major trial. That are the former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort. The president s reaction today is beyond telling.
