There is major news in the fight over the report of independent counsel David Barrett's investigation into the Henry Cisneros matter. Late today, the three-judge panel overseeing Barrett ordered that parts of his report be released to the public -- and that all of the report be given to Congress.
"The Court orders that the independent counsel, with all deliberate speed, prepare for release and make release of the now pending Final Report, except for that portion designated as Section V," the order says. It is not clear what is contained in Section V, but it is known that several Clinton-era figures have sought to prevent the Barrett report from being released, and perhaps the material in Section V relates to that. In any event, the Court further ordered Barrett to prepare a version of the report containing the publicly-withheld sections and deliver it to the leaders of Congress and the chairmen and ranking members of several committees.
But there is a catch -- the judges stipulated that their order be stayed for at least ten days in the event that any figures involved in the matter should petition the Supreme Court for a stay. "If no such stay is sought within the period granted by this paragraph, then this stay shall be lifted," the order says. One unspoken aspect of that provision is that whoever has been blocking the report's release in private -- under seal -- would, if a petition is made to the Supreme Court, have to do so publicly.
"I am extremely pleased with the decision of the court," Barrett told National Review today. "The Congress and the public have a right to know the contents of the entire report, and this is a step in that direction."
"The one where Margaret Milner "Peggy" Richardson, a long-standing Hillary Clinton friend, headed the IRS and audited people to stop them from telling the truth about the Clintons."
I have relatives and one of my oldest friends who were audited under this DemoIRSNazi Richardson for years. The final worthless audit was they made too much profit.
Their only crimes were being Republicans who gave to the Republican Party and talked about what the Clintoons had done.
I would assume that somebody around here will know how to upload the PDF so that it doesn't fall victim to site crashes that seem to become epidemic whenever something negative to the 'Rats is published. Personally, I don't have a clue how to do anything other than provide a link.
Many thanks! I love Hugh! :-)
Turass is a West Indian expresion. It is an extension of the more popular expression rass. Rass can be used by itself to show some kind of surprise or, more, as an adjective.
>>If congress has the whole thing then it's going to be public knowledge in about 45 seconds.
You mean you think a Congresscritter might illegally/inappropriately leak sensitive information?
Gosh, I can't imagine!
"FR ..
All the news the MSM chooses to ignore,, "
LOVE IT. Might have to borrow that one!
Barrett was using the mysterious www.oic.gov server - which was previously was used by Donald Smaltz. There has been some interesting activity at that site over the last couple of weeks. Williams and Connelly has an intern watching this thread right now to see when the unexpurgated report will leak out.
Several of the Independent Counsel reports of the Clinton era are still available at the Government Printing Office website - http://icreport.access.gpo.gov/.
Shucks!
Am I the only one that clicked on this thread thinking that a new .50 Cal. rifle model had been developed?
:)
"... except for that portion designated as Section V"
WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S IN SECTION V - It's all the criminal activity of the Clinton adminstration which Hillary's lawyers have been trying to keep private.
Looks like she accomplished that - and I wonder how long it will remain private. I hope somebody like Curt Weldon - has the guts to expose it. Because if they do - it will DOOM a Hillary presidency!!
right on, a .50 Cal. rifle that shoots laser beams...
Beat me by "--" that much! Just logged on.
Mystified moderators want to know.
You have a private reply.
Time for ol' Webb to roll over again ?
Oh how I love FREE REPUBLIC! Thank you for the post of the month.
Also, I wonder what Louis Freeh knows about all this?
YAY!! Isn't it now 10 years??? My Lord, what kind of laxative does it take to get things moving in Congress?
Ping-a-ling-a-ding-dong!
"Also, I wonder what Louis Freeh knows about all this?"
Ole Lou has to be grinning over this.
