FBI accused of ransacking Barron Trump's room too

 Daniel Chaitin:

Former President Donald Trump added another grievance to his list of gripes against the FBI after its raid of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last month, saying agents searched his teenage son Barron's room.

During a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Trump claimed the search for documents was conducted on a "phony pretext" with permission from a "highly political" magistrate judge.

He added that FBI agents "rifled through" his wife and former first lady Melania Trump's closet drawers and "even did a deep and ugly search of the room of my 16-year-old son." After a round of boos from the crowd, Trump added that agents left "everything they touched in far different condition than it was when they started."

It looks like the FBI was not finding what they were looking for among Tremp's files so they decided to see if it might be hidden with his wife's clothing or in his son's room. They appear to have been thoroughly intrusive.

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
