Hiding Biden

 Red State:

...

"I can't remember an administration that had a White House Counsel's Office that engage so directly in taunting and attacking legal inquiries from Congress. I mean, this is an impeachment inquiry. It's the most important possible process that a President and Congress are engaged in. And yet you have a member of the legal Counsels Office, mocking and taunting that effort. The fact is that the President's public statements to the public stand completely contradicted. [Biden] lied, he lied when he said he had not spoken to business associates, he lied when he said he didn't have knowledge of these business dealings."

Turley notes the letter reduces everything down to 10 questions for Biden to answer, mostly had he spoken to Hunter's business associates. 

Given the Hur report, the White House knows that testifying would put Joe Biden in deep trouble. He might truly put his foot in it, and accidentally give up critical information that can sink them--or further expose his mental issues. They also have no explanation for Biden's lies and changing stories over the years. The White House is, again, basically spitting on all norms with this kind of response.

As Turley accurately notes, the media doesn't care about holding their feet to the fire on all of Joe Biden's lies and the potential issues in this case. But that isn't going to quiet the questions into Biden's actions. 

I don't think Joe Biden has the mental capacity to deal with the questions that will be raised about the Biden family business which appears to be based on access and Influence operations.

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
