I thought they had successfully buried this.

They did.

I thought they had successfully buried this. They buried the important parts. The article provides:

"Then-IRS Commissioner Peggy Richardson, a close friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was involved in efforts to quash the probe, a source close to the case alleged. But Richardson's role was cut from Barrett's report, which went through 26 drafts, because Democratic law firm Williams & Connolly successfully pressured Barrett to remove a section of the report naming her, a source said."

I don't know how they do it but the clintons keep slipping the noose.

They have.

Is this the culture of corruption Nancy Pelosi was talking about?

"Before Cisneros' 1999 guilty plea, Barrett's office began a second phase based in part on allegations in a 1997 memo to IRS headquarters by whistleblower John Filan, an IRS criminal investigations chief in Texas."

I guess whistle blowers are only ok when it involves the Bush administration.

Sen. Chuck Grassley did a little manipulation to keep it alive, as I understand.
