JONATHAN TURLEY: Comey’s shell post may be crass, but charging him is a free speech trap
In the last year, coverage of former FBI Director James Comey appears to be reverting to the level of a high school yearbook.

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.” That question, posed by Juliet in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” seems to now occupy much of Washington. At a Christmas party with many media from Washington, the question was put to me more succinctly and repeatedly as “can they do […]

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the United States, but he can hardly be thrilled about it. He has been returned not for a removal hearing, but for a trial that could result in a lengthy prison sentence, followed by immediate removal back to El Salvador.
