I don't know, but I DO know that in order for politicians to do anything difficult they must have support from citizens and constituents. We need to do our part and let Grassley & Sensenbrenner hear from us, especially if we want this report to see the light of day.

The problem is that "citizens and constituents" are often ignorant of the facts, misinformed, and/or apathetic to the circumstances thanks to the MSM. How many "citizens" do you suppose know that have heard ABOUT the Barrett Report? How many "citizens" do you suppose have heard about it, are aware of its scope? How many "citizens" do you suppose have heard about it, know about its scope, and realize its implications? How many "citizens" are going to actively write their congresscritters to request a taxpayer paid-for FULL report?
My guess is less than 1/2 of one percent.

I personally have "hand written, E-mailed, and phoned" the offices of Senators Talent and Bond as well as my rep, Sam Graves. (NO RESPONSE)...chirp...chirp...chirp...
Maybe (I"m hoping) the report's release will be more effective at a later date? (if anyone remembers by that time)

Speak for yourself. There is no need to denigrate everyone else.

I live in Kansas. I wrote to Sam Brownback, Pat Roberts, Kit Bond, Dennis Moore, Jim Sensenbrenner and Grassley. Only Sensenbrenner has responded, and that was done automatically.

You know, the democrats are not only fearing the Barrett Report, but they are still looking down the barrell of the "Able Danger" investigation. If our politicians do their jobs, the democrats are going to need helmets. How sweet it could be.
