I had totally forgotten about Cisneros until yesterday when I saw reports the Republicans in congress were moving to close down the investigation. Why, you ask, is there still an ongoing investigation anyway? Well, until the special prosecutor finishes the investigation there can be no final report. Since the final report in the Cisneros case is going to embarrass a lot of very important Democrats they've kept the investigation open to preclude the issuance of the report.

It's ironic. Democrats can't wait for the Fitzgerald report and are howling for blood but refuse to clear the way for the Cisneros report because it's going to hurt them.

From what I have heard, Barrett's report cites Clinton IRS abuses and a case of tax fraud by Cisneros that the DoJ under Reno had snuffed out. Kerry and crew tried to cut Barrett's funding to end the probe by attaching an amendment to a spending bill, which would have prevented Barrett from releasing his findings,
but fortunately it was defeated. The lawyers for Clinton and Cisneros, Williams & Connolly, are trying to get those parts of the report redacted for Hillary's '08 run. They have filed more than 190 motions and appeals, one of which alone took 18 months to deal with. On October 7, yet another secret delay order was granted by the court. The report is said to be a real eye-opener that Hillary doesn't want to see the light of day.
