AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH: TV film on migrant Muslims’ hate of Europe’s Jews axed. “European broadcasters have been accused of censorship after refusing to air a documentary highlighting anti-semitism in Muslim migrant communities. The film, Chosen and Excluded — The Hate for Jews in Europe, depicts the plight of Jewish people suffering violence at the hands of their Muslim neighbours in cities such as Paris.”

Correction: June 10, 2017
An article on Tuesday about plans by the Trump Organization to create a new three-star hotel chain with a patriotic flair, known as American Idea, that would echo President Trump’s pledge to put America first misstated the year of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. They occurred in 2001, not 2011.

VIOLENT PORTLAND: “In recent decades, Portland, Oregon, has acquired a reputation as one of America’s most tolerant and liberal cities. In practice, this means there are taxpayer-funded sex changes for municipal employees and lots of bike lanes, but comparatively little tolerant liberalism. The city government has made it quite clear that if you have views it finds offensive, it does not want you expressing them publicly. On June 4, a political rally that was described by turns as pro-Trump, alt-right, and pro-free-speech was held on federal property in downtown Portland. It almost didn’t happen for two unsettling reasons.”

WALL STREET JOURNAL: Why Trump Wins: Will Robert Mueller investigate intelligence agencies for playing in domestic politics?

The FBI, CIA and NSA are eager to pose as scrupulous, disinterested arbiters of Russian meddling. They are not eager to be seen as victims and patsies of Russian meddling. To use Mr. Comey’s phrase, the performance of our national intelligence directorate is the one rock that hasn’t been turned over.

So here’s a question for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI chief himself. Will he accept the current framing that his Russia investigation is about everything except whether his former agency was semi-wittingly duped into some of its interventions by Kremlin danglings—there’s nothing to see here, move along.

Or will he have the courage to ask the requisite questions the FBI, CIA and NSA don’t want asked about their own, perhaps, gullibility and overeagerness to play in domestic politics because of their dislike of Mr. Trump?

Washington’s desire to get to the bottom of Russian meddling is probably less than you imagine. If not, the places to start are the Trump dossier and the role of Russian disinformation in promoting Mr. Comey’s intervention in the Hillary Clinton email matter.

I don’t think Mueller can be objective here. He should resign — or be replaced by someone without his conflicts of interest.

THE WAY THE COMEY HEARING SHOULD HAVE GONE DOWN, DAY ONE:

Mr. Comey, to be blunt, sir, your well-established pattern of public virtue-signaling even as you refuse to answer questions from both Senate and House committees about your own behavior and the behavior of the FBI, has caused us to reconsider our normal procedures. By refusing to be responsive to the American people’s elected representatives, your actions have made you appear more interested in promoting your own self-interest and/or a political agenda than in seeking justice. As a result, we will dispense of your opening statement―which was already publicly issued ahead of this hearing―and instead move on to a series of questions in seven broad categories for you to answer about the FBI’s role in this investigation and your participation in it.

PAUL MIRENGOFF: Comey’s Calculations.

“James Comey is a ‘leaker’ — but that doesn’t make him a criminal.” That’s the headline of a Washington Post story by Matt Zapotosky.

The Post’s story tries to create the impression that, in fact, Comey is not a criminal. But Zapatosky undertakes no analysis of the law. Instead, he cites “legal analysts.”

However, none of the analysts in question addresses the question of whether Comey committed a crime.

Nice to have the press spinning for you like that.
