Meanwhile, Senate Republicans released some key components of their desired tax plan, including a proposal that President Donald Trump’s heavily touted corporate tax cut be delayed until 2019. Both House and Senate versions would enact a corporate tax rate of 20%, down from the current 35%, though the House version would put it in place next year. Both the House and Senate plans share the same standard deduction and increase in the child tax credit.
The biggest difference between the House and Senate versions may be the issue of reform itself. While the House has advanced a plan with significant changes to the tax code that would fundamentally reform taxes, Senate has opted for more of a tweaking approach choosing to maintain much of the current structure while making minor adjustments to the existing code. Secondly, the House plan would seeking to make its changes take effect much sooner than the Senate, which seeks to put off some of the more costly changes for at least a year.
The overarching issue is this: The perception among the electorate is that Republicans are failing to lead and are on their way to another massive failure similar to that of repealing liar-nObamaCare. If Republicans can’t get their act together and pass meaningful comprehensive tax reform legislation, then there’s a good chance they will find themselves in the minority come 2018. Hopefully, Republicans will take heed from the recent election results from Virginia and progress on meaningful tax legislation. ~The Patriot Post

{townhall.com} ~ How do they do it? I am not the first to compare the liar-Clintons to Harry Houdini, the great magician and escape artist, but liar-Bill and liar-Hillary make him look like a rank amateur.
No law seems to touch them. No regulation seems to control them. No prosecutor wants to take the risk of holding either liar-Clinton accountable for anything. OK, liar-Bill was impeached by a Republican House, but not convicted in the Senate.
The latest escape for liar-Hillary involves former FBI Director James Comey and the law governing classified materials. The Hill newspaper's John Solomon has obtained an early draft of Comey's statement about liar-Hillary's mishandling of classified documents on her email account.
Initially, Comey was going to charge her with being "grossly negligent," a violation of the law which subjects one to prison and fines. In his public statement that sounded like an indictment, Comey changed his description of her actions to "extremely careless," a distinction without a difference, but which he said was not an indictable offense because she didn't intend to violate the law.
About Comey's rationale for changing the words in his draft memo, the public does not yet know, but Comey testified before a Senate committee that it made him "mildly nauseous" when he considered the FBI's impact on the election.
Gregg Jarrett, an attorney who frequently offers legal opinions on the Fox News Channel, has been keeping track of liar-Hillary Clinton's skirting of the laws and escapes from its penalties.
Here is his account of only a few recent examples of what might be a twist on the song "I Fought the Law And the Law Won." In her case, liar-Hillary fought the law and bested it.
Speaking about a deal that allegedly allowed for the sale of some U.S. uranium to the Russians via a Canadian, who heavily contributed to liar-Bill Clinton and the liar-Clinton Foundation, then receiving $500,000 for a speech in Moscow a sale some other commentators say didn't occur, Jarrett says, "...it's a crime to use a public office to confer a benefit to a foreign government in exchange for money ... it can be prosecuted under a variety of anti-corruption laws passed by Congress, including the federal bribery statute (18 USC 201-b), the federal gratuity statute (18 USC 201-c), the mail fraud statute (18 USC 1341), the wire fraud statute (18 USC 1343), the program bribery statute (18 USC 666) and the Travel Act (18 USC 1952)."
As for the anti-Trump Russian dossier, which Democrats, including those associated with the liar-Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for, Jarrett says it's a violation of federal law to pay foreign nationals to impact a U.S. political campaign (52 USC 30121), and it's also a violation to file a false or misleading campaign report (52 USC 30101).
"I've been hearing Democrats say, 'Oh, those are just civil penalties,'" says Jarrett. "They are not. The government produces a book -- it's 319 pages -- outlining the federal election laws and all those who have been criminally prosecuted and ended up in prison."
How does liar-Hillary Clinton get away with it? Jarrett says: "The liar-Clintons are escape artists that would make Houdini proud. Whenever they are caught dangling their feet over the edge of illegality, they usually dummy up."
He pointed out that when liar-Hillary Clinton spoke with FBI investigators about her private email server last year, she said, "I cannot recall" 39 times.
If the Justice Department refuses to appoint a special counsel to hold liar-Hillary accountable under the laws the rest of us can't escape, and if Robert Mueller won't do it, then Congress should continue with its own investigations.
We often hear "no one is above the law." That has never applied to the liar-Clintons.
