Is it safe to assume, by your answer, that this article is
enough of an example to label Clinton the "most corrupt
administration in history"?

WASHINGTON - Senate Democrats are quietly trying to kill a 10-year legal probe that implicates several senior Clinton administration appointees for obstruction of justice, the Daily News has learned.
The Democrats, saying that the $21 million investigation by Independent Counsel David Barrett should have ended long ago, succeeded in attaching an amendment to a spending bill Tuesday to cut off his funding by June 1.
But two sources close to the investigation said that if the legislation becomes law, it will thwart Barrett from making public a final report that names senior officials in the Clinton Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service who allegedly buried a tax fraud case involving former cabinet member Henry Cisneros.
"It's about obstruction of justice," said one of the sources. "People are willing to take drastic actions to kill this report."
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), who introduced the amendment with Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), said last week that the disgraced HUD secretary paid a $10,000 fine in 1999 for lying to the FBI and that then-President Bill Clinton pardoned Cisneros, so the probe "should have ended years ago."
Barrett's probe began in 1995 by looking into allegations that Cisneros, who was Clinton's secretary of Housing and Urban Development, lied to the FBI about payments to his mistress. It expanded years ago into a broader obstruction case involving alleged tax fraud, according to the sources.
The report will allege that Justice Department officials snuffed out a tax case against Cisneros and that the IRS sometimes audited Clinton critics without good cause.
Barrett's investigation was wrapped up two years ago, and his 400-page final report was submitted to a three-judge panel last August, said two sources.
Because those named in the report have until the end of June to refute Barrett's findings, Kerry and Dorgan's amendment would prevent its release.
Because it is a NewsMax article? The Sun article was posted on its own thread and I linked it at #19.
Why don't you ping the guy who wrote to Powerline - even if he hears from them that doesn't mean I will know about it.
Sorry, I didn't know someone else wrote to Powerline. Thought it was you.

Post 9 has it's own thread. It was posted at FR this morning.
the answer is undoubtedly yes....
See post #106 - poster is "yoe"
She might need to sneak across.
Ops4 God Bless America!
We need some cartoonists to make Bush and Cheney as cowboys and
bringing in the Dems in the last round up!
This idea going around that Hillary! has been calling for more border control is bunk -- pure, unvarnished "Big Lie" MSM stinkbait. Here's Hillary! in her own words:
"Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton
What difference is there between her guest worker system and his guest worker system? None. They aren't leaving under her plan or his plan. She doesn't give a damn about border control.
For Stink Making:
I daresay its safe to presume you are a complete and utter moron
None of this is based oin a single article, but rather on an ongoing INVESTIGATION (and not by the media, but REAL investigators!!)
This srticle is reporting on what the DemocRATS are doing to squash it!
What part of that does your feeble brain not quite comprehend?
Dems move Heaven and Earth to cover up years-old wrongdoing by people we already know are crooks.
Meanwhile, Tom Delay's own party serves him up on a skewer for nothing.
You tell me who's going to win in the long term.
I had some of the names already - but the rest is a goldmine - thanks!!
Yeah. Sad as hell, isn't it.....
but some people here are buying it hook line sinker...
Geez, haven't we learned that lying about sexual escapades is OK in this country? Look at Slick, the dude who dirtied the White House sink? He taught us that oral ain't sex and it's OK to lie about if if caught in the act. Haven't we learned through the slickmeister that phone sex is a thing that presidents normally do and that the definition of 'is' is not really 'is'????
I don't have a lot of faith in a probe that takes a decade to nail Clinton's ass to the wall, which he, IMHO, richly deserves....
Notice it is a Sax!! hee hee
But - I'm not going to make a stink until I find out for sure what legislation the amendment is attached to. The appropriations bill - just went to committee today - and if that's where the amendment is - I hope we can find out so we can begin making noise about it.
