A very busy day in Washington as special counsel Robert Mueller's office handed down two indictments related to its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Could the Russians have been trying to influence American politicians -- including the Clintons--long before Donald Trump ever enetered the nation's political picture? It's beginning to appear as though the Russian government was doing just that...with the help of the Obama administration.

The President issued executive orders on Obamacare last week that sent the left into its typical (and exhausting) frenzy. But what do the orders actually do to the health insurance law?

We noted last week that the IRS awarded Equifax, the credit bureau whose massive databases on American consumers were hacked earlier this year, a multi-million dollar, no-bid contract to help prevent identity theft.

What if there was a tool -- a long unused law, perhaps -- that gave Congress the ability to stop federal agencies from spending money that isn't in their budgets?
