Willis accused of using illegally obtained evidence

 Newsmax:

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' racketeering case tied to the 2020 election against former President Donald Trump could be upended if allegations are true that the Georgia prosecutor's evidence was illegally obtained.

A recently released book on Willis' probe claims that the phone call between then-President Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — a key piece of evidence in the indictment — was recorded illegally.

Authors Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman write in "Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election" that Georgia Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs taped the conference call.

"Find Me the Votes" says Fuchs recorded the call to protect Raffensberger from possible false claims Trump might make about the conversation.

But Fuchs, the authors say, made the recording while out of state in Florida.

Florida, however, is a two-party consent state, making it potentially illegal for one party, such as Fuchs, to have recorded another without approval.

Juscelino Colares, a law and political science professor at Case Western Reserve University, said Trump's legal team could argue that the recording should be excluded from the case because it was illegally obtained.
...

The term "find me the votes" is not the same as telling someone to create votes to rig and 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
