Trump sues Hillary Clinton over Russian collusion hoax

 Washington Examiner:

Donald Trump is suing Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and other key players in the so-called Russiagate controversy, alleging they conspired to create a "false narrative" tying his 2016 campaign to Russia.

The former president seeks $72 million in damages in alleging that Clinton, his 2016 election rival, and others "orchestrated" a false plot to make it seem as though he was colluding with "a hostile foreign sovereignty" in an attempt to "vilify him," according to a Thursday court filing with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

"They worked together with a single, self-serving purpose: to vilify Donald J. Trump. Indeed, their far-reaching conspiracy was designed to cripple Trump’s bid for presidency by fabricating a scandal that would be used to trigger an unfounded federal investigation and ignite a media frenzy," the complaint says.

Jake Sullivan, a Clinton campaign adviser who is now President Joe Biden's national security adviser; former FBI Director James Comey; and former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz are among the 28 individuals and corporations named as defendants in the lawsuit.

The 108-page complaint has a sweeping list of grievances, including the Russia investigation completed by special counsel Robert Mueller, and alleges racketeering, conspiracy to commit "injurious falsehood," and obstruction of justice, among other alleged crimes.

...

Trump may have a better shot with the case in South Florida than he would in New York although Miami has long been a liberal bastion in the state.  It is pretty clear from what Durham has uncovered so far that there was a conspiracy to denigrate him falsely that impacted the first few years of his term.  The discovery process should be interesting.

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
