Why the Trump-Russia intelligence report doesn’t quite add up (Washington Examiner)
The New York Times reported on Thursday that “intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected.”
I’m not convinced that gives full context to the briefing. I suspect a Democratic member asked a briefer something along the lines of, “Do you assess that Russia is trying to reelect Trump?” The briefer then probably offered a hedged response in the affirmative.

So many of you responded to last week’s Emergency Alert (“This Bill Will Destroy Churches and Religious Schools”) about the perils of HB 1663, SB 868, and HB 1049, and we believe the outcry from faith-based Virginians coupled with the amplification from our emergency Press Conference on Religious Freedom on Tuesday is beginning to break through in getting legislators’ attention. The situation could not be more serious, yet still, as of right now, we have ZERO ASSURANCES from Democrats that they will at least add needed protections for religious entities such as churches, schools, and nonprofit ministries. This is shocking, really, because even states like California, Massachusetts, and New York have far greater protections for religious organizations! [Read More]
Peter Schweizer: How Bernie Sanders has used his public service to enrich his family (Fox News)
The gap between the image Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., portrays and the reality of how he conducts his own affairs is a “major problem” for his candidacy, investigative reporter Peter Schweizer said Wednesday.
In an appearance on “Fox & Friends” with host Steve Doocy, Schweizer explained that while the 2020 presidential candidate may talk about the common good, his public service has benefitted his family financially over the years. [Read More]
