Is the Comey case gone for good? Maybe. One thing's for sure: His alleged "lie" to Congress seemed non-existent. Trump's nominees, meanwhile, made fundamental, hugely consequential commitments to senators while under oath. And they're now breaking them every day. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...
We’re Led by an Administration of Liars
Trump insisted Comey be prosecuted for supposedly lying to Congress—but his own administration is full of officials who lied to Congress.

While I don’t believe the conspiracy theories that Trump is a Russian asset, it’s obvious Trump defers to Putin-whether it’s due to kompromat, cowardice, ignorance or mere admiration for tyrants
Plus he probably doesn’t care what happens to Ukraine or Russia
He just wants credit for ending the war

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Trump’s so-called "peace plan" is a blueprint for Russian victory. Forcing Ukraine to surrender any territory under threat is not diplomacy—it’s appeasement that guarantees future conflict. We must not reward Putin’s aggression with Ukrainian land.
