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!

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?

Put the report on a diskette, claim it was stolen (or something); and publish it offshore on to the internet.

Problem solved.

As Tony Snow says, "this stinks".
Call/write/fax/yell at your Senators/Representatives now to get Mr. Barrett's report made public.
We paid for it - and I'm sure it was another multi-million dollar affair - and we damn sure deserve to see it.

Scandal at Justice and IRS?

The Evans-Novak Political Report includes an item I've heard nothing about:

Democrats have their own scandal brewing at the moment, but they are doing much better in covering it up than their Republican counterparts. At issue is the report by David Barrett, the last remaining U.S. independent counsel. Over ten years, Barrett has spent $21 million on the investigation of former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros, who lied to FBI investigators about hush money paid to an ex-mistress.
The reason the report and the investigation have taken so long is that allies to Cisneros and the legal team of former President Bill Clinton at the powerhouse Washington law firm of Williams and Connolly have fought its progress in court at every step. Meanwhile, Clinton-sympathetic judges have sealed everything concerned with the case, including Barrett's report.

The report contains shocking allegations of high-level corruption in the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department under Clinton, which Barrett found as Clinton aides monitored his investigation and sought to derail it in order to cover up the Cisneros matter. A regional IRS official had formulated a new rule enabling him to transfer an investigation of Cisneros to Washington to be buried by the Justice Department. Barrett's investigators found Lee Radek, head of Justice's public integrity division, determined to protect President Bill Clinton.

A recently passed appropriations bill, intended to permit release of this report, was altered by Democrats behind closed doors to ensure that its politically combustible elements never see the light of day. Democrats succeeded in inserting instructions into the bill's conference report that are very broad and will allow judges to continue suppressing the report. Three of the toughest Democrats in Congress -- Sen. Carl Levin, Sen. Byron Dorgan and Rep. Henry Waxman -- have been behind the effort to suppress, and they have done it effectively.


It's remarkable what the Democrats can accomplish despite being in the minority. One can only imagine what they got away with when they were the majority.

These two spineless cowards, Bill Frist and Denny Hastert, you expect anything from them? They haven't the guts to join and get the report released to the public. Damn, these spineless Republicans. Getting real tired.
