Former Congressman Trey Gowdy criticized the FBI for applying a different standard to Michael Flynn than it did to Hillary Clinton.

Nate Silver suggests Michael Bloomberg's campaign strategy is focused on facilitating a brokered convention rather than winning early states.

Attorney Michael Avenatti introduces a third accuser against Brett Kavanaugh, a move characterized by some as publicity-seeking.

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele pointed out a perceived double standard in media outrage regarding the DNC emails.

Despite the implications for free speech, Fox News has reportedly refused to cover the story of Michael Savage being banned from the UK.
