I searched, but didn't see this column in the threads today--apologies if I missed something.

Freepers may want to contact Frist and Hastert and urge them to get the report published. If it could derail the Hillary juggernaut--what joy!

Publish it now, and it will be a tired old relic that no one cares about by 2008.

Given three years to discuss it, relativize it, excuse it and expalin it away, the Democrats will make in meaningless after a couple of news cycles.

The Rule of Law does not apply to career criminals, the democrat party, the Clintons, and other sociopathic predators.


Or so they keep telling us.

Many factors enter into this article and many questions raised.

Can any subsequent riders to any law nullify clear legislation like the Freedom of Information Act?
Can "National Security" be created artificially out of whole cloth?

If every other special counsel has had their report published, how can anyone legally justify not publishing this one?

Tom DeLay's ficticious and baseless accusation got no protection at all.

It's time for a modern day version of the famous Contra Leaks. We need to get this report into the light of day no matter how long it takes!

I continue, to this day, believing absolutely that Clinton's second biggest crime in office, after treason, is abuse of power on a monumental scale, together with intimidation, blackmail and extortion. Of this I am certain.

Much worse crimes are also possible from the trailer-park presidency, but just shining the light of day on these is a great start!

I understood that if it is NOT demanded to be published within the next two weeks, then it will NEVER be published, because of what the two boneheaded politicians agreed to.

Does anyone know if Rush or Sean or any other conservative talk show host has run a story on this?

Are you kidding? If Bush allows this to be published it will ruin the five years of hard work on Washington bi-partisanism(sarc).

All of this should have hit the fan five years ago with real Justice Dept. investigations of Chinagate, Pardongate, FBIgate, etc.gate, etc.gate, etc.gate.

This info will never see public light as we all know who is politically stuck on stupid in Washington.

Frist and Hastert? Their cojones are in Al Gore's lockbox...and their FBI files are in Hillary's filing cabinet. Never happen.

Is there any way to obtain a copy of the report and post it on here?

:-) TownHall posts the same article as the one I'd pinged us on from Jewish World Review, so this would be a triple ping.

I suspect you're right. That's why I was wondering if Rush or another conservative big gun has talked about the issue. That would be the way to get it out there where it can't be ignored.

I wish I had friends in high places! I'd love to be the leaker. But I don't, and wouldn't know where to start.

LOL! I sent it to the whole ping list. You may have been very busy and had other pings that came in afterwards.

But it's great that Town Hall posted it too. I looked there first because FR allows posting the whole article. But it wasn't there as of 8am Eastern, so I went to Jewish World Review. Jewish World Review has copyright issues with FR posting the whole article so I had to use an excerpt.

:-) Both kinds. We were told to expect 10 inches. It just stopped and maybe we got a little more, but not by much.

Agreed TGJ. The same reason we plea bargained Sandy Berger, brushed Able Danger under the rug, and on and on and on.

I cannot for the life of me understand why it looks like we are simpatico with the Party of Defeat. Baffling.
