Bipartisan congressional negotiators squelch independent counsel's findings
Though it has had scant attention from the mainstream media, a bipartisan effort to squelch an independent counsel's final report on Clinton-era abuse of the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department has gotten the attention of Web activists and commentators, causing a growing call for the release of the document that is said to including damning evidence against the 42nd president and his administration.
Over 10 years ago, independent counsel David Barrett was charged with investigating former Clinton Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Henry Cisneros in relation to his lying to the FBI about tax fraud he committed trying to cover up payments to a mistress. Though Cisneros pleaded guilty in 1999, Barrett, in the course of his probe, found evidence of wrongdoing within the IRS and Justice Department in relation to the Cisneros fraud.
Reportedly, Clinton team members tried to interfere with Barrett's investigation, which has cost $21 million, including conducting surveillance of his office.
An IRS whistleblower told Barrett, a Republican, of a cover-up surrounding the Cisneros matter.
Writes columnist Robert Novak: "The informant said a regional IRS official had formulated a new rule enabling him to transfer an investigation of Cisneros to Washington to be buried by the Justice Department. Barrett's investigators found Lee Radek, head of Justice's public integrity office, determined to protect President Bill Clinton."
Columnist Emmett Tyrrell, who has called for the release of the entire Barrett report, writes:

Republicans aren't a real party or movement. They always pretend they are on a urology table when it comes to the Democrats and the press.
Clinton's armor is *not* made of "teflon".
It is made of newspaper.
Perfect!!!!!
Amen - and this report is not even Classified! The NSA information was TOP SECRET SCI. The people who leaked that should go to prison for 35 years.

Time to contact the good senator?
You can count on that!
Who was it? They guys are crazy.
I thought we were trying to continue our continued majority in the house and senate. Let's consentrate on getting our guys into office and let the Clinton Administration sleep. We already go the guy impeached so his future will be all about Monica and the BJ. I would rather we use our energy on getting the Senate pass Alito (which could be difficult), worry about '06 elections, and finally '08 Presidency they go after some past politicians. However, if we go this path, we may not like the results.
Oh one more thing, the Senate is in recess right now. I am afraid that by the time they get back, this will be old news. You know that news after three days gets stale.
"....Will it be hidden for good?...."

The Democrats, Thumper, the Democrats.
Did you make the same mistake that I did in thinking that the Republicans, because they had the most members were running Congress?
Don't worry. I learned better and in time you will also.
MSM: "The Public's right to know!" /s
It is made of newspaper.
Great one, Duke.
Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?
This isn't at all about Republican vs. Democrats. This is the ruling class in Washington vs. the American People. Regardless of the facts contained in the report, it will not see the light of day, or if it does, it will be in a convoluted form making the criminals look like the heroes.......kind of like the 9/11 commission. The people who were on the commission should have been tried and hung for treason. Instead they are the one who inform the citizens on what they want us to know.
Big business.
Wrong.......this is Big Government, and it is far more corrupt and far more dangerous to America that Big business ever could be.
"Who actually runs Congress, anyway?"
weenies.
"...let the Clinton administration sleep..."
If Hillary wins, which bedroom will Monica get?
