GOP investigating the Georgia investigation of Trump's challenge to election

 National Review:

House Judiciary Investigating Whether Fulton County DA Coordinated with DOJ on Trump Charges

...

“Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated,” Jordan wrote in a letter to Willis.

“News outlets have reported that your office and Mr. Smith ‘interviewed many of the same witnesses and reviewed much of the same evidence’ in reaching your decision to indict President Trump,” the Ohio Republican wrote. “The House Committee on the Judiciary thus may investigate whether federal law enforcement agencies or officials were involved in your investigation or indictment.”
...

The committee is requesting documents related to Fulton County’s communications with federal prosecutors, Department of Justice officials and Executive Branch personnel.

Jordan also cited several incidents that have led him to question Willis’s motivation, including her decision to launch a new campaign fundraising website just four days before Trump was indicted that highlighted her investigation into the former president. The letter also mentions that the forewoman of the special grand jury in the case previously “bragged during an unusual media tour about her excitement at the prospect of subpoenaing President Trump and getting to swear him in” and that the Fulton County Superior Court’s clerk publicly released a list of criminal charges against Trump hours before the vote of the grand jury.

Finally, Jordan adds that Willis was disqualified by the Fulton County court from targeting Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones in her investigation because she supported and held fundraising events for his Democratic opponent.
...

There is nothing illegal about challenging the results of an election.  To my knowledge, Democrat prosecutors have never indicted Democrats who have challenged the results of an election.  Stacy Abrams of Georgia is an example of a Democrat challenging the results of an election.

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
