The Hunter Biden double standard

 Breitbart:

Peter Schweizer, Breitbart News Senior Contributor, President of the Government Accountability Institute, and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, said Hunter Biden is benefiting from a double standard when it comes to his highly questionable foreign ties, saying other Americans have gone to jail for doing far less.

In an interview with Newsmax on Thursday, Peter Schweizer alleged Hunter Biden has acted as a lobbyist for foreign entities based on evidence from his laptop and commercial activities, and has violated the law, namely the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

“There have been Americans over the last five, six years, especially, that have gone to jail for doing far less on that front than Hunter Biden himself has done,” Schweizer said. “Not to mention the tax evasion and the questions about foreign corruption.”

Schweizer compared  the Justice Department’s lenient treatment of Hunter Biden to the FBI’s recent raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

“It’s wildly inconsistent and it seems like it depends on whether you have a ‘D’ or an ‘R’ after your name what kind of experience you’re going to have with law enforcement.”

Schweizer was among the first to report extensively on the Biden family’s foreign business dealings in the books Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption.

Last year, he said the GAI had confirmed that President Joe Biden “was a direct beneficiary” of Hunter Biden’s financial deals with foreign interests.

...

It certainly looks like the Biden DOJ is not too interested in bringing a case against the President's son.  There appears to be ample evidence of an influence-peddling operation that enriched Hunter and Joe Biden.  There is also some evidence that Joe Biden's brother was also engaged in influence peddling.  The need for a special counsel to deal with this issue should be apparent, but so far the Biden DOJ has dodged on the issue.

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
