A day of reckoning for a leaker?

Ed Timberlake:
Michael Caputo, the former Trump campaign staffer whose finances were almost ruined by Robert Mueller's investigators into the phony Russiagate issue and who said "God d--- you to Hell" to the Senate Intelligence Committee, must be feeling vindicated this morning.  With the arrest of a veteran staffer, the same committee's director of security, Caputo's heartfelt cry to the committee is finally bearing fruit:
Caputo called for an "investigation of the investigators" and said he wanted to know who was "coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump."
"Forget about all the death threats against my family.  I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election," Caputo said.  "I want to know because God d--- you to hell."
As President Trump tweeted:
 ...
Several questions follow, but Caputo was right about what happened to him.  The Accused leaker was said to be in a "romantic" relationship with the woman who wrote stories based on the leaks.   Will people like Caputo and others harmed by this action be able to sue over this invasion of privacy and the damage caused by it.  Those who published the stories may have to answer for it.

The whole Russian collusion affair has a McCarthyite smell to it.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
