Little reason for him not to be confident at this point
Trump is looking stronger than ever
Drain the…never mind
As they say, shots fired
The very picture of discretion
Coming on the heels of a furious campaigned headed by Blagojevich’s wife
A catastrophe that is receiving little attention in the American press
In the annals of “didn’t see that coming”
Quite the juxtaposition in Israel
Trump not exactly taking William Barr’s advice to stay out of cases
An excellent poll for Sanders – and for Bloomberg, who now qualifies for Wednesday’s debate
Senator Tom Cotton is still promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that China engineered the coronavirus
The White House mole hunt sounds like the search for a serial killer
Officially, assistant to the president Peter Navarro is Trump’s point-man on trade policy. But Navarro has also taken it upon himself in recent weeks to uncover the identity of the person known simply as “Anonymous,” the senior Trump administration official who has railed against the president in the New York Times opinion pages and, most recently, in a bestselling book titled A Warning, and whose actual identity has so far confounded White House leak hunters.
Since at least the time of the impeachment process against Trump, Navarro—whom the president affectionately calls “my Peter”—began conducting his own private investigation into the identity of Anonymous, according to three sources with knowledge of Navarro’s efforts.
One of those sources described Navarro’s investigative efforts as partially an in-depth analysis of the language and phrases used in Anonymous’ book and other public writings. The process, as described to The Daily Beast, mimics forensic linguistic profiling, and the goal is to cross-reference Navarro’s “profile” with a list of potential suspects.
