Will Hillary get away with her role in Russian collusion scam?

 Washington Examiner:

Hillary Clinton appears to be off the hook in terms of special counsel John Durham's criminal inquiry, according to one House Judiciary Committee Republican.

In the view of Rep. Darrell Issa, the politically charged review into the origins and conduct of the Russia investigation has taken too long for there to be full accountability. He specifically name-dropped Clinton, whose 2016 presidential campaign and lawyers helped foster the specter of collusion between her rival, former President Donald Trump, and the Kremlin, as evidence has shown in the years of investigations that have followed.

"'Justice delayed is justice denied' is not some sort of a trite statement. It's very true," Issa told journalist Sharyl Attkisson in a recent interview for her Full Measure program.

Issa, a California Republican who is part of the judiciary panel that oversees the Justice Department, then looked ahead to what is expected to be a report released by Durham, whenever the prosecutor finishes his investigation — an endpoint that could be months away.

"Anything that comes out of the Durham report," Issa said before stopping to scoff and shake his head. "It could lynch Hillary Clinton, and it wouldn't change a thing."

The congressman bemoaned how even if the truth is reached eventually, at some point, the opportunity to bring people to justice would reach its expiration date.

...

I think Issa is talking about the statute of limitations that requires cases to be brought in a reasonable time period.  However, there should be no statute of limitations on the political consequences of her actions and if she runs again her credibility will be challenged at every stop.  It looks like Durham will continue to bring cases against those who participated in the scam.  Some of them might decide to do a plea bargain that would include testimony against those who pushed them to participate.

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
