President Donald Trump may not be serious about convicting the political foes that he is prosecuting. Instead, he may simply be "creating an aura of criminality" around those individuals as a way to give die-hard MAGA fans a "trophy" for their support, according to a new report from The New York Times.

The NYT reported on Sunday that Trump allies, especially federal prosecutor Jason A. Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida, are expanding their investigation into a so-called "grand conspiracy" against Trump. Investigators have sent more than two dozen subpoenas as part of the case, according to the report, including to people such as former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former FBI agent Peter Strzok.

A former FBI agent revealed on Thursday that the Trump administration's repeated episodes of "spewing lies" have had a significant impact on his former colleagues inside federal law enforcement.

Michael Feinberg is a former FBI agent who was fired earlier this year after he was found to have socialized with President Donald Trump's foe, Peter Strzok. He discussed the impact of Trump's lies on federal law enforcement on MSNBC's "Deadline White House" with Nicolle Wallace.

Federal prosecutors in Florida have begun targeting former key intelligence officials as part of a Justice Department investigation into Russian interference in Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, sources told CNN.

Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are among those expected to receive subpoenas, along with ex-FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, reports say.

A panel on MSNBC shamed a few former officials who refused to speak out publicly against President Donald Trump.

National security analyst Michael Feinberg, a fired FBI agent who was pushed out for his friendship with Peter Strzok, spoke to host Nicolle Wallace on Thursday, specifically name-checking former Justice Department official Lisa Monico and ex-FBI Director Christopher Wray.

FBI Director Kash Patel may have exposed President Donald Trump to the risk of deposition, according to a lawsuit brought by senior FBI agents he fired, national security journalist Marcy "emptywheel" Wheeler wrote on Thursday.

The lawsuit from the former agents, Brian Driscoll, Steven Jensen, and Spencer Evans, makes a lot of damning claims about how Patel operated, including that he said they could not have voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris if they wanted to pass vetting for the Trump administration.

Several people on the left and right have cheered the words of New York Times podcaster Ezra Klein, who heralded right-wing activist Charlie Kirk as "practicing politics the right way."

Others, however, say Klein's kind words and calls for non-violence ignore Kirk's frequent calls for different groups of people to be killed or oppressed. Kirk has called for trying doctors of transgender patients and suggested that men should "physically attack" trans people. He also claimed those in the LGBTQ community should be "stoned to death," and told women, "submit to your husband."

Michael Feinberg, a former assistant special agent in charge at the FBI, was forced to resign in late May after it was discovered that he was friends with Peter Strzok, an ex-investigator whom President Donald Trump targeted in his first term for his anti-Trump sentiments.

That relationship with Strzok was enough for a political commentator and radio host to shove Feinberg out after he took over as the deputy director of the FBI.

International affairs specialist and retired Naval War College professor Tom Nichols is astounded by reports that the FBI was demanding polygraphs for agents to prove their loyalty.

Speaking to host Katy Tur on Friday, Nichols and ex-FBI agent Jim Davidson, who leads the FBI Integrity Project, said that the ordeal must be leaving agents confused.
