DOJ accused of redacting material facts in documents produced to Congress

Washington Examiner:
A top conservative congressman complained Thursday about the Justice Department redacting "material facts" in documents provided to congressional investigators looking into possible wrongdoing at the agency.

Upset that Attorney General Jeff Sessions refused to appoint a second special counsel, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., accused the DOJ of not complying with a subpoena for documents related to alleged spy authority abuses.

Meadows pointed to that report name-dropping former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, among others, and said the materials he viewed "didn't stop there."

"When we look at the multiple reactions that have taken place, this Department of Justice is not complying with the subpoena and with the oversight responsibility we have in Congress," he said. "And so for the attorney general to suggest that there is not enough there is extremely disappointing."

Meadows was joined by Goodlatte and Gowdy, in being disappointed when Sessions revealed Thursday Utah’s top federal prosecutor was looking into wrongdoing in the Justice Department and FBI rather than appointing a second special counsel — the first being Robert Mueller, who is spearheading the federal Russia inquiry.

While Meadows only hinted that some members of government might be getting themselves into trouble with Congress, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., went further in a Fox News interview Wednesday, saying if Goodlatte's subpoena is not honored, "We should move quickly to contempt [of Congress] and then we should move to impeachment."
The coverup appears to go on in the FISA abuse case.   Congress also appears to be in no mood to tolerate it.  They need to move quickly to get teh information and get it into the public domain as soon as possible.  If the Democrats retake Congress they are likely to join the coverup effort.  There is strong evidence of Democrat collusion in the FISA abuses and the ongoing coup attempt.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
