SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENED READING ADDITION

I just added Ronan Farrow’s Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators to the Recommended Reading List.

It is a classic tale of boys behaving badly and the expensive coverups that followed.

Even this is just phase one of Round Two; expect more people and entities to receive request letters. There is a lot to explore here so let’s do so together for a bit.

Only twice in American history would the title of today’s article be accurate, I have lived in both administrations. As a young adult then-President Richard Nixon was my president and named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a crime. Last week Tuesday, as part of his former personal attorney Michael Cohen’s plea agreement, Donald Trump made a senior citizen relive part of his relative youth. Not one of the highlights! It doesn’t end there, let’s explore. Continue reading My President Is An Unindicted Co-conspirator
