Schiff memo looks like a Democrat cover up of FISA abuses

Daily Signal:
The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee is accusing his Democrat colleagues of trying to cover up wrongdoing in the government’s surveillance of a former campaign aide to then-candidate Donald Trump.

Speaking to The Daily Signal moments after a Democrat memo was released Saturday, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said the long-awaited document is so shocking because of what it reveals about the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and Democrat operatives.

“We really wanted it out because it’s clear evidence that the Democrats are trying to actually not only collude, but they’re colluding with a cover-up. And they’re trying to cover-up the fact that the Democrats and the Hillary campaign paid for dirt and it was used by the FBI,” Nunes told The Daily Signal after speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

“It’s amazing they’re actually willing to write a memo that actually says that—as if it’s OK for that to happen. Because it’s simply not OK,” he added.
...
“We think it is clear evidence that the Democrats are not only trying to cover this up, but they are also colluding with parts of the government to help cover this up,” he added.
...
“I think as you read it, you will see personal attacks on myself, personal attacks on Chairman [Trey] Gowdy, with a lot of really interesting things that sound really bad—like a lot that has been happening in this Russia investigation over the course of the last year,” Nunes said. “But what you are not going to see is anything that actually rejects what was in our memo.”

“The point of our memo was for one purpose only,” Nunes added, “and that was to show that FISA abuse had occurred. To have a secret court that gets abused like this is totally unacceptable.”
...
The Democrats are trying to defend the indefensible.  You know they would not defend a Republican administration that did the same thing.  They think it is OK in this instance because they think it helps them in their coup attempt against President Trump.

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
