Republicans plan investigation of DOJ-FBI after raid

 Just the News:

Republican leaders condemned the FBI's raid of former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home on Monday evening.

"The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves," said Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate. "Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic."

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy warned Attorney General Merrick Garland about a potential GOP takeover of Congress.

"I’ve seen enough. The Department of Justice has reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization," he wrote on Truth Social. "When Republicans take back the House, we will conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned. Attorney General Garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar."

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the raid shows that the Democrats are abusing their power.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely," McDaniel said in a statement. "Countless times we have examples of Democrats flouting the law and abusing power with no recourse. Democrats continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans. This raid is outrageous. This abuse of power must stop and the only way to do that is to elect Republicans in November."
...

"Joe Biden must be impeached," Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin said in a statement. "The raid on President Trump's home should have never happened. It is beyond wrong. It is obviously part of the ongoing witch hunt that began before President Trump ever took office, and which continues to this day.

"President Obama's IRS unlawfully targeted citizen groups that dared to oppose Obama policies. Now President Biden's FBI and DOJ have continued the tradition of politicizing federal agencies and have upped the ante by attacking a former president. We are supposed to be a constitutional republic not a banana republic. This madness must be stopped."

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio questioned how the FBI found time for the raid.

"The FBI isn't doing anything about the groups vandalizing Catholic Churches, firebombing Pro-Life groups or threatening Supreme Court justices But they find time to raid Mar A Lago," he said.
...

I think an investigation is warranted.  The FBI is beginning to act like the enforcement arm of the DNC.

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
