When you have a terrible sales pitch, it’s best to eliminate the materials. Except this wasn’t a sales pitch—it was an official act of Congress that required evidence to be collected, cataloged, and preserved. People were sworn under oath to make the case that Donald Trump was Augusto Pinochet reincarnated, who tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021. Then-Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) staked their political careers on this Democratic hit job and lost. Cheney got blown out in a primary challenge, while Kinzinger opted not to seek reelection. After months of this select committee,...

When New York City launched the nation’s biggest municipal ID card program last year, advocates said it would help people living in the U.S. illegally to venture out of the shadows. But since Donald Trump was elected president, city officials are instead fielding questions about whether the cards could put those same people at greater risk of being deported. The city has vowed to protect cardholders’ personal records and might even delete them using a kind of self-destruct provision that allows for the information to be destroyed at the end of the year. At least one state lawmaker has criticized...

The State Department revealed Benghazi related material was found in searches of the approximately 14,900 deleted Hillary Clinton emails recovered by the FBI that were sent to State as potentially work-related. In March 2015 Hillary Clinton said she chose to delete only her personal emails: “E-mails about planning Chelsea’s wedding or my mother’s funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends, as well as yoga routines, family vacations, the other things you typically find in inboxes. No one wants their personal e-mails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy.”

The operator of a political website that parodies the presidential hopes of Hillary Clinton has just gotten a lesson in realpolitik and what happens when someone crosses the Clintons. Marinka Peschmann, a freelance journalist and author, has been marketing a number of different buttons and bumper stickers for the “Hillary 2016: Prison or POTUS” campaign on the website Zazzle.com. One of those caught the eye of Clinton-campaign lawyers and is now no longer available.
