OPINION: MUELLER’S JIG IS UP — BUT THAT’S NOT ENOUGH (The Daily Caller)
The Mueller witch hunt is effectively over — not because Mr. Mueller had not planned to drag this out until he could concoct a crime against Mr. Trump or a member of his family but rather because the jig is up.
Have you noticed how long it has been since anyone even suggested that the president sit down with the “special counsel” for an interview?
Mueller’s raison d’etre was the outrageous and purposely propagandized prevarication that the Trump campaign and even Mr. Trump himself “colluded” with Russia to rig the 2016 presidential election against Hillary Clinton.
The Democrats who perpetrated this fraud are not only masters of projection and deception, but they took their playbook of personal destruction to a whole new level. [Read More]
Federal judge ‘shocked’ Clinton aide Cheryl Mills was granted immunity by DOJ (Washington Examiner)
A federal judge said he was “shocked” to find out that longtime Hillary Clinton aide Cheryl Mills had been granted immunity from the Justice Department during the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton’s server.
During a hearing in D.C. on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth made the comment about Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff, during his opening remarks, referring to when he read the DOJ inspector general report.
“I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in — by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case,” Lamberth said. “So I did not know that until I read the IG report and learned that and that she had accompanied the Secretary to her interview.” [Read More]
Racial Preference on Trial as Harvard Goes to Court (The Weekly Standard)
The discrimination lawsuit against Harvard College that goes to trial in federal court on October 15 may well put a momentous choice before the Supreme Court, and the country, within the next few years. Should the Court allow racial preferences in university admissions to continue forever? Or should it ban them as unconstitutional, even though a rigorously enforced ban could dramatically cut enrollments of African Americans and Latinos at selective schools?
Almost all publicity about the case has focused on the powerful, if disputed, evidence that Harvard discriminates in admissions against Asian Americans—an historically oppressed racial minority—to avoid admitting a greatly disproportionate number from a group whose academic excellence far outpaces all others’.

Independent U.S. Senate candidate Neal Simon endorses Hogan for governor (The Washington Post)
U.S. Senate candidate Neal Simon, who is running as an independent, endorsed Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) for reelection Thursday, citing the popular governor’s record of cutting taxes and fees and of protecting the Chesapeake Bay.
Simon is challenging Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, a Democrat who has represented Maryland in Congress for more than 30 years. In a statement, Simon said Hogan has worked “across the aisle to find common ground” and “stayed true to his promise to govern from the center.”
Hogan, who is leading Democratic challenger Ben Jealous by double digits, has not endorsed anyone in the Senate race. He signed a nominating petition for Simon at the 42nd annual J. Millard Tawes Crab and Clam Bake in Crisfield, Md., this summer. [Read More]
Woman named as abuse survivor by Heitkamp campaign says ‘the damage is done’ (CNN)
A woman who was identified without her permission as a survivor of abuse in a campaign ad for Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said Thursday she doesn’t know what the senator “could do that would make it better.”
Lexi Zhorela, a 24-year-old self-identified liberal from Bismarck, North Dakota, opened up about being in the ad to CNN’s Erica Hill on “New Day.”“I don’t know what she [Heitkamp] could do that would make it better,” Zhorela said. “I know that’s why a lot of the people in this situation are reaching out to seek legal counsel because of, you know, what she did is wrong.”She added that she thinks “it’s very reckless” that Heitkamp didn’t read and approve the document before it was published. “Somebody messed up,” she said.
