Lawfare campaign against Trump criticized

 DC Daily Journal:

...

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig didn’t hold back when he took former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to task for her out-of-touch defense of the legal system’s treatment of former President Trump.

Clinton, who has long been a fixture of political controversies herself, claimed there was “nothing out of the ordinary” in the ongoing legal battles Trump is facing.

But Honig was quick to point out just how wrong she was.

In a column for New York Magazine, Honig torched Special Counsel Jack Smith’s “procedurally irregular” tactics in his 165-page federal court filing, specifically regarding Trump’s immunity from prosecution.

He made it clear that Smith isn’t even pretending to play by the rules, writing, “The larger, if less obvious, headline is that Smith has essentially abandoned any pretense; he’ll bend any rule, switch up on any practice — so long as he gets to chip away at Trump’s electoral prospects.”

It’s as if Clinton, desperate to remain relevant, is either turning a blind eye or completely ignoring these blatant inconsistencies.

Honig didn’t hesitate to draw a parallel between Smith’s conduct now and former FBI Director James Comey’s infamous announcements about Clinton’s email investigation right before the 2016 election.

He rhetorically asked what difference there could possibly be between these two cases.
...

The attempt to criminalize Trump rather than debate on the issues is one of the worst abuses of power in American history.  From the Russian collusion hoax to the Jack Smith tactics it looks like Democrats and their operatives are desperately using the legal system for political purposes rather than campaigning on the issues important to American voters.

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
