"No wonder they call us the Stupid Party," said a disgusted Republican operative in Washington. "You've got to wonder what these guys were thinking." At issue was the publication of a report by David Barrett, an independent counsel who has spent the better part of a decade looking into some of the most hair-raising allegations of presidential malfeasance in American history. Like most independent counsels, Barrett didn't set out on such a mission. He was assigned the duty of looking into whether former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros committed tax fraud in trying to cover up payments to a former mistress. Yet, as published reports have indicated, he soon discovered that he was onto something much bigger. He found unsettling evidence that Justice Department officials were actively interfering with the probe and even conducting surveillance of Barrett and his office. Worse, there were indications that Team Clinton was using key players at the IRS and Justice to harass, frighten and threaten people who somehow got in the former president's way. The pattern was set early on, when the White House sicced the FBI on Billy Dale, who had served as the director of the White House Travel Office since the days of John F. Kennedy. They mounted a baseless probe of Dale's finances, while chasing after his daughter, his sister and others. Dale was guilty of holding a job coveted by presidential pal Harry Thomasson. But rather than simply firing Dale, the Clinton White House chose to destroy him.

We have to call our GOP Senators and demand this report be released. We cannot allow the Democratic mafia to AGAIN circle the wagons around their dons Bill and Hillary Clinton and to carry out yet another cover-up, this time with the complicity of some really stupid Republicans. Would Democrats be this stupid and give Bush a pass if this were his administration being looked into?
We need to write letters and make phone calls to Frist, the RNC and every GOP Senator. Why the hell are we protecting these two scumbags and do we think Democrats would ever return the favor? Get real. They'd be all down our throats, and their media puppets with them, if this were about the Bush administration. It's time to stop playing nice with the Party of Evil (Democrats.)
900 FBI files will do that to you.
Report will never see the light of day except for here. The MSM will ignore it except for Dems saying, "Lets just move on."
What the hell was Kit Bond thinking, by allowing those 120 Pages to be removed from the report, makes those who agreed to this just as guilty as those named in the report. Obstruction of justice is obstruction of justice, no matter how it's spelled

Anybody know when the Republicans made it a policy that you have to give up your balls to become a Republican?
I'm starting to think that Rush is right and that the political class protects each other.
They all are in it together to keep the status quo near the middle. Neither party wants one to dominate so they conspire to keep things equal. Make sme sick.
Wow! I've forwarded to other non-freepers to keep the news circulating.
I just recieved a membership statment from the RNC looking for money,told them to get the Barret report out to the public and get some balls when you do both I'll send you some money!
I think the Dems pushed that through in 82'
How about a Daniel Ellsberg move.
It is starting to sound like the major agencies in Washington run the country not the politicians.
bbttt
Had an epiphany, huh?
One might almost think that the GOP doesn't want this to come out.
You can all your senator all you want. There is an unwritten agreement in Washington that everyone turns a blind eye to everyone else.
(Please FReepmail if you want on, or off, this list. I certainly have no desire to increase anyones stress-level. Thanks!!!)
They absolutely do.
Thanks for the ping!
