"Report Could Torpedo Hillary Clinton's Prez Plans (Tax Audit Abuse)"

That's why it will never see the light of day. Grassley made a deal with Dorgan.
Another good reason for an amendment to the Constitution giving us term limits. 12 years max. They go to Washington with ideas and hope to change things. After they taste the power and glory, they then start to make deals to keep themselves there. Their power is more important to them than doing what is best for the country.
Maybe that is why the best do not stay. J.C. Watts & Steve Largent come to mind.
The worst do whatever is needed to stay and grow rich and more powerful. Duke Cunningham & Jim Wright come to mind

Yes they did make a deal to make sure the full report goes public.

Here is the statement from the top article.

Longtime IRS critic Sen. Charles Grassley had hammered out a deal with Sen. Byron Dorgan to amend a Treasury appropriations bill that would have closed down Barrett's office - as long as "all portions of the final report" were made public.

Bump. I agree with term limits, but how could that happen exactly?
