I was trying to find out what happened to David Barrett's report last week.

I've added appropriate keywords to the thread so that it can be located.

Flood them with FOIA requests for this report.

That won't do any good. It's in the hands of the panel of judges at the Special Division of the D.C. District Court.

The Independent Counsel statute gives people mentioned in the report the right to rebut the findings of the report. But I don't recall that it gives anyone the right to supress the report.

The important thing is to keep funding for Barrett's investigation continued.

The web site for Independent Counsel Donald Smaltz - www.oic.gov - which was still operating recently - now shows a Red Hat server message.

Poking around -

http://www.oic.gov/smaltz/ - "You don't have permission to access /smaltz/ on this server."

http://www.oic.gov/notsmaltz/ - "The requested URL /notsmaltz/ was not found on this server."

http://www.oic.gov/barrett/ - "You don't have permission to access /barrett/ on this server."

So the report could be sitting on that server right now.

Perhaps a computer technician who is skilled in the ways of accessing Apache servers could get it.

Wow, there is a treasure trove of information about criminal activity in Clinton administration on that server - Ron Brown, Henry Cisneros, Michael Espy, Bruce Babbitt, etc.

So Kenneth Starr and Robert Ray used that server too. Interesting. But it's not the same server they used for their public web pages.

You don't have permission to access /private_barrett on this server.

You don't have permission to access /public_barrett on this server.

There seems to be an awful lot of interesting files on this server.....

I was able to access the documents.
Try using the "cache" function of google results.

A somewhat smoking gun, buried iin the data;

"2. Investigation by the Department of Justice

On April 25, 1994, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under the direction of DOJ's Public Integrity Section, initiated an investigation into the matters OIG had referred. The investigation differed from a typical Department of Justice investigation. It was narrowly focused, compulsory process was not used to obtain documents and testimony, and agents were specifically instructed to limit their inquiries. The Public Integrity lawyers instructed the agents to be concerned only about the "receipt of tickets." There was no apparent reason for so limiting the investigation and for not invoking normal investigative techniques and procedures. The Independent Counsel Statute, which limits the scope of preliminary DOJ inquiries, in particular prohibiting the use of compulsory process, was not then in effect, but DOJ nevertheless adhered to the statute's restrictions. (13)"

This would lead us to think there was some damage control attempt, from on high. An order to limit the investigation to only "reciept of tickets"???


The Hildabeast, up to her usual damage-control, political spin. They wanted it to be about "tickets". They knew the ties to Tyson, if followed to their logical ends, would show
bought & paid for cronyism, and wthe trail would eventually lead more directly and personally to themselves (Shrillary and her husband, the manipulator/liar-in-chief)

The left screams at alledged appearances of impropiety of the current administration. Perhaps rightfully so...

But they blew it. They could have made an example out of Bill, of what SHOULD happen, when you act the whore, and sell out the people.

In April, Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) tried to ax the probe - which has cost $22 million, including $1 million for the first six months of this year - by cutting Barrett's budget, saying it's a waste of money, but Republicans stopped them.

I am ashamed and feel like throwing up....but I agree with Kerry, Durbin, & Dorgan. It is a waste of money...because NOTHING will happen of any consequence to the perps.

If you can have a body dragged to Fort Marcy Park...have a Commerce Sec. disappear...cat's killed...Webster Hubbell roll over one more time and watch Sandy Burglar get his hand slapped.....NOTHING!! is going to happen...and it IS...a big show..and a waste of money. May as well pour that money into a septic tank....for all the good it will do.

Well, for 23,000,000. I think we should at least get a peek.

Maybe Bill O'Reilly can get this report released. Sounds like it is explosive. No wonder the Clintons don't want us to see it.
