Rod Rosenstein gets it half-right: The Justice Department should be sensitive to the rights of uncharged people but that standard can't apply to a president.

As Maryland’s 188 lawmakers prepare to head into their annual 90-day session, political party leaders gave them conflicting messages about bipartisanship.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the U.S. House intelligence committee, will deliver the keynote address at the Maryland Democratic Party’s annual legislative luncheon on Jan. 8. The California congressman recently raised the prospect of prison time for President Donald Trump.

In my worst fears since 2016 about what President Trump's right-wing media messaging machine would look like and how it might affect our democracy, I never thought I would see what I did Monday night on Fox News starting with the propaganda performance of Sean Hannity.

Jules Witcover: The case of Russian meddling that has haunted Mr. Trump through the first year and more of his presidency, dismissed by him so far, is front and center again.

The dueling Nunes/Schiff memos are a sideshow to what's really going on in Robert Mueller's investigation. By now it's clear that the best case scenario for President Donald Trump is still plenty damning.

The Republican party used to stand for law and order, now it rebels against it, says Jules Witcover.

Trump happy to promote partisanship, distrust and anarchy to derail Mueller investigation.

Witcover: As a result of his deplorable personal behavior and inept political performance, President Donald Trump has dug himself into a hole.

After the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing on Russian interference with the U.S. election, I had to renew my press credential

The more Republicans downplay contacts between Russians and Trump campaigners, the more it looks like a cover-up.

The case has now been significantly strengthened for an independent commission to supplement or take over the congressional investigation into the intelligence findings of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The cloud of suspicion over Russian interference in the American presidential election has widened, with new demands from congressional Republicans as well as Democrats for a special counsel's investigation, akin to the Watergate inquiry that forced the 1974 resignation of Richard Nixon.

The Democrats are doing a pretty good job of mimicking the cowardly lion in "The Wizard of Oz."

The controversy over hacked information has further cast a pall on the last weeks of the Obama presidency, says Jules Witcover.

Edward Snowden began gathering the classified documents about NSA spying he ultimately leaked to the press after a fight with his bosses, the House Intelligence Committee has concluded — leading the committee's leaders to call his motives into question.

U.S. Representative Christopher Van Hollen, a Democrat, is Mr. Gerrymander. He first gained national office in 2003 in large part due to the gerrymandering of Maryland's Eighth Congressional District. The reshaping of the Eighth District was done by Maryland Democrats with the intent to eliminate Republican Connie Morella, who had held that seat for about 16 years.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on the House Benghazi committee put Hillary Rodham Clinton through an all-day test of political skill and physical endurance Thursday, but ultimately struggled to define a coherent case for their long-running inquiry.

Like Benghazi, the GOP's Planned Parenthood hearings are just another political gambit, says David Horsey.

It wasn't until three months after a drone blasted a suspected al-Qaida compound in Pakistan that America's spies figured out that a captured Rockville contractor was among the dead, the White House acknowledged this week, renewing calls for a change in the government's policy toward hostages.

A Rockville man who has been held by Al-Qaida in Pakistan since 2011 was killed in a U.S. drone strike in January, the White House said Thursday.

Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, a member of the House intelligence committee for a record 12 years, lost his seat on the panel Thursday when House Democratic leaders appointed a replacement.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday she would appoint Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Baltimore to lead Democrats on a controversial select committee to investigate the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.

In a public appearance in Baltimore on Thursday, National Security Agency director Keith Alexander forcefully defended surveillance methods that have come under scrutiny this year but acknowledged that some of them may need adjustments.
