Why all the talk? Why all the angst? The case is clear: William Barr should be impeached, says Bill Press.

Jules Witcover: The House of Representatives appears on the verge of initiating a formal impeachment process.

Jules Witcover: Seeking more evidence of President Trump's abuses of power before initiating impeachment is fair.

In his first remarks on the Mueller probe after resigning as deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein casts himself as a man above politics.

Letters published in the May 4 edition of the Carroll County Times.

Jules Witcover: Robert Mueller's leaked letter has cast a new cloud over the president and attorney general.

Rosenstein's departure ends a nearly two-year run defined by his appointment of a special counsel to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.

There is no proof the Russians interfered with the 2016 presidential election.

Special counsel's findings require closer examination by Congress so public can be better educated on what happened in 2016.

Attorney General William Barr, in tossing to Congress the political hot potato of impeachment of President Trump, has unloaded legal responsibility by the executive branch onto the legislative.

Jonah Goldberg: Loyalty to President Trump is now the definition of what it means to be a conservative.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: After Mueller report, America can't be wishy washy about impeaching President Trump.

Cal Thomas: The so-called "Mueller report" is being read and interpreted through mostly biased eyes.

Suggesting a level of cluelessness seldom seen outside City Hall, Pimlico's owner outraged by weather's effects on outdoor seating.

Elijah Cummings could turn out to be Trump’s worst nightmare based on the Baltimore resident’s powerful position in Congress, his widely-praised recent media performances and shifts in the zeitgeist that have thrust Cummings into the symbolic role of be new best hope to rein in Trump.

President Donald Trump and his business organization are suing Rep. Elijah Cummings — the U.S. House oversight committee chairman — alleging the Baltimore Democrat crossed a constitutional line with a subpoena to the president’s longtime accountant that seeks years of financial statements.

Gov. Larry Hogan will speak at a "Politics & Eggs" series at the invitation of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics — fueling speculation he has political ambitions beyond Maryland. The Republican governor has said he's open to considering a run against President Donald Trump.

The Mueller report found no collusion despite what the media wanted.

Jonah Goldberg: The Mueller report doesn't meet the worst expectations of either the right or left, but it doesn't make anyone look great, either.

Mueller report reveals the president is a lying egomaniac who tried to derail the investigation but Mr. Barr loves him just the same.

University of Maryland alumnus Eric Swalwell, a four-term San Francisco Bay Area congressman who has grown into a cable TV fixture as a slashing and unremitting critic of President Donald Trump, formally announced Monday his long-shot bid for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

Jules Witcover: Mr. Trump in the midst of political woes may be losing his grip on reality — which was never very firm in any event.

Why does Trump want to wait to formulate his health care plan? Could it be that, as with many of his pronouncements on issues — like climate change, foreign relations, and tariffs — he has no clue or plan? 

I would like to ask some cogent questions of Mr. Mueller. None of these is a partisan question. Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike all should all be asking them because of the unprecedented assault on our electoral system that was devised and executed by the Russian military.

Failure to report on the Mueller would have been journalistic malpractice, says Leonard Pitts Jr.

Jules Witcover: President Trump escaped the clutches of the Mueller investigation by refusing to testify.

All Americans have seen so far is a four-page summary of the Mueller report - let's not jump to conclusions about President Trump from that small scrap.

One thing special counsel's probe uncovered is the way liberal Democrats and the media detest this country.

Mueller report needs to be released in full as AG Barr's one-sided view is not to be trusted.

Mueller's criminal prosecutions may be coming to an end but it's mixed news, at best, for Donald Trump

“We have a tendency to categorize people. We say, ‘I’m not going to hang with you because your black. I’m not going to hang with you because you’re Jewish,” he told them. “What we’re trying to do is represent what it feels like to be in somebody else’s shoes.”

If Special Counsel Robert Mueller or other investigators produce damning evidence about Trump, would he resign to save himself or family members from disgrace or jail? Or will he avoid being so confronted, having found another, more effective fixer than Michael Cohen?

Waiting for Mr. Mueller to prove himself a savior may not pan out for the simpler reason that he can't find what doesn't exist. To say that Mr. Trump was morally capable of colluding with Russia is not the same thing as saying that he did.

We are told the Mueller investigation will be sent to the Attorney General any day now. We are also told that the report does not have to be made public. As a tax payer and former federal law enforcement officer, I strenuously object

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.

A Hogan run in 2020 might seem far-fetched, but effect of Russian investigation on race remains to be seen.

President Trump got a taste of the Nancy bPelosi style in their recent Oval Office encounter. He was expecting the San Francisco elitist. He got the Baltimore street fighter. The speaker and her gavel will be Mr. Trump’s worst nightmare.

One of our biggest media failures has been in the way we are framing the shutdown and, as a result, leading citizens to think about it. We are again taking a hugely important and complicated story of American life and reducing it to personalities embedded in a conflict-driven narrative.

News reports of a counterintelligence probe suggest deeper trouble for President Trump, says Jules Witcover.

The "no collusion" mantra gets an entirely new spin from Rudy Giuliani who seems to think now that, yup, maybe there was some.

William Barr emerges as the unlikeliest of Trump choices - someone committed to the rule of law and a supporter of the Mueller inquiry.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, agrees to testify publicy before Rep. Elijah Cummings' oversight committee.

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Wednesday that the departure of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would threaten Robert Mueller's Russia investigation at a time when the integrity of the Justice Department "is under assault" by President Donald Trump.

The investigation of President Trump by Robert Mueller is the most potent narrative in American life. It is nothing short of a struggle for democracy and the American soul. When someone asks you why we in the media spend so much time on it, that's why.

The Sun is wrong to despair of excess media speculation surrounding Mueller investigation - Americans need to know more about everything related to this important inquiry.

Better not to get drawn into the usual Trump soap opera and instead wait for Robert Mueller's inquiry to wrap up before passing judgment.

Yet again, we are faced with another major Trump related story and another tale of two very different news realities. The last one involved the use of tear gas on migrants at the border. This one involves the Friday court filings by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
