REDACTION LOOPHOLE: ACCESS TO THE BARRETT REPORT

 

by Mia T, 01.20.06

 

 

he judges who ostensibly redacted 120 pages of the Barrett report established a means by which the American people can see those redactions: Any member of Congress can legally request access to the redactions and can publish them.^.

The serious '"culture of corruption" in the clinton DOJ and IRS that is detailed by the report makes one wonder about the nature of the crimes and abuse that the clintons felt compelled to redact.

Even a small subset of what we do know about the redactions argues for their immediate disclosure by Congress. (Only in the surreal world of the clintons would someone suggest with a straight face that disclosure of the crime of obstruction of justice is precluded by privacy considerations.)

We know that clinton pettifoggers labored mightily and long to gut and bury this report with some 140 motions, sleights of hand... and, when necessary, the clintons' heavy hand.

We know that charges of the clintons' retaliatory IRS audits of both their political foes and their victims of rape and predation are said to be included in the redacted material.

The mutual protection racket writ large is apparently alive and well in DC. (Is Filegate rearing its ugly head yet again?)

We mustn't let Congress get away with this coverup. Call. E-mail. Fax. Don't let up.

And remember the responses on Election Day.

RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton

Dear Concerned Americans,

Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive.

We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will?

In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst?

Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival.

What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times.

Come on, Congress people. Who's going to step up to the plate?

[Philistone]

You know, you are extremely annoying. Not only do you repost information that appeared here days ago, you spam your posts with the same old re-hashed crap and kiddie photoshopped images with which you spam every post.

It's getting very old, very quickly.

Search before you post, gain some humility, and get a life.

[Mia T]

Each to his own taste, of course....

You certainly are a glutton for punishment.
Simply stop clicking on my threads and your problem is solved. ;)

[Philistone]

Now that I know who you are, I will. I never pay attention to monikers unless they are trolls, obnoxious or boring. But you can't know that a priori...

Nice to see that you can take constructive criticism, btw...

[Mia T]

Thanx...well, sort of....
I see you are new to FR. Welcome.

I actually value intelligent constructive criticism.
'Constructive criticism' is hardly an objective construct, however.
One person's constructive criticism can be another's garbage.
Conversely, ad hominem often masquerades as 'constructive criticism.'

As for my virtual hillary et al., 3-D modeling and flash animation,
you might be interested in my rationale.
And then again, you might not. ;)

One suggestion... (constructive criticism?)...
Do the potentially hurtful criticism via private message if you must do it at all....

[Mia T]

"After a thorough reading of the report, it would not be unreasonable to conclude, as I have, that there was a cover-up at high levels of our government, and it appears to have been substantial and coordinated," Mr. Barrett's office said in a statement issued with the report....

But Republicans are reserving judgment on the report, about 120 pages of which was ordered removed by a three judge panel that oversaw Mr. Barrett's investigation, until they see it in its entirety.

"There will be a movement to get the whole thing out," a top Republican aide said last night. "The American taxpayers have paid an enormous sum to get this report, and the American taxpayers expect to read it."

Republicans are said to be weighing two options in pursuit of full release. One is to have the three-judge panel release the redactions on the grounds that the full Senate should be able to make a judgment on its potential value to the public interest. Senator Levin, a Democrat of Michigan, is said to have seen the report already. Republicans say that they should be able to see it, too.

Another option, which Republican sources described as less desirable, would be to insert language into an unrelated piece of legislation that would order full release of the report against the wishes of the judicial panel. The Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Grassley, of Iowa, inserted language into a Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill in October that would have resulted in full disclosure of the report, but that language was diluted in committee by House of Representatives staff, a source familiar with the investigation said.

Mr. Grassley is now poised to make another attempt at inserting the request into another bill when the full Congress returns to session at the end of the month.

I'd say for a young lady with her education, intelligence, talent, and I'd add, prettiness, she's very humble.

Maybe she can emulate you and click onto threads she finds "annoying"; replete with "old re-hashed crap" and "kiddie photoshopped images" .

You know, Philistone, with your total inability to exercise self-restraint and your flair for dramatic usage of our language I'd imagine you not to be clicking onto Mia T's threads but rather hanging out in front of the local 7-11, knockin' back a 40 oz. Schlitz.

As I explained to your friend, now that I have made the connection between her moniker and her posts, the problem is solved.

If she wishes to spam this board as the Fair-Taxers do, she may do so knowing that I shall never comment again.

Nor shall I, in future, click on any of her posts (which should, out of simple politeness and etiquette, be clearly labeled "vanity", which they are.)

And let me guess, while we're at it, that "jla" is really "Mia T".

Tia!

[jla]

I'm sure she'll manage to cope.

(which should, out of simple politeness and etiquette, be clearly labeled "vanity", which they are.)

That's your unsolicited, and irrelevant, opinion.

And let me guess, while we're at it, that "jla" is really "Mia T".

In your world I'd imagine anything's possible...that is, until the 'high' begins to abate.

(Turning lead into gold...)

If this were to occur your head would be worth a couple thousand dollars.

[Mia T]

I love Tyrrell's prose. It has a certain grace and charm.

The aforementioned New York Times story is a perfect example of the kind of stories confected by the Clintons and their lawyers over the years. It appears to be fair-minded, but read carefully it is interlarded with the Clintons' defenses. The Times' story's first words contain the sullen line "longest independent counsel investigation in history." Soon Barrett's work is described as a "scathing report." Then we have this land mine: Barrett's work "came to be a symbol of the flawed effort to prosecute high-level corruption through the use of independent prosecutors." Later one of the individuals mentioned in the report is quoted as writing that the gravamen of the report is "a scurrilous falsehood."

Finally let us return to the Times' amazing omission, neglecting to mention that the Barrett Report as released yesterday has 120 pages redacted. How do we account for this error? Alas, the Times' leakers lied to the paper. Its story ends saying, "But after Congressional Republicans attached a rider to a Department of Housing and Urban Development spending bill requiring publication of the full report, the judicial panel in November ordered a full disclosure." That was not the end of it. Had a fact checker from the Times called me, I would have pointed out that later, in December, legislation was snuck through Congress that allowed the redactions to stand.

As Novak reports, those 120 pages can be seen by any member of Congress, who can then make them public. The drama continues.

REDACTION LOOPHOLE: ACCESS TO THE BARRETT REPORT

 

by Mia T, 01.20.06  

 

he judges who redacted 120 pages of the Barrett report have, if not a sense of justice, a sense of humor. In their rulings, they provide a mechanism by which the people can see the redactions, but for which at least one honest, selfless, courageous member of Congress is required.

The way it works: Any member of Congress can see the redactions simply by requesting access, and, unlike Barrett, can publish the redactions "without fear of legal sanction."¹
