Doug, do you really think that the Bush and Clinton families are in this together since the days of Mena, Arkansas?
That is very frightening, indicating deep, deep corruption in theis Government. What to do when all else seems hopeless...

[Sal]

Generally, when Democrats AND Republicans want a report buried, that menas they are BOTH involved.

You are absolutely correct except that you should have capitalized Mena(s).

[mewzilla]

The fix is in.

Yup. The ethics truce lives on. From 2006....

Mum's the word for ethics committee

A pox on both parties.

“All are culpable in the cover up. The shame of this congressional body knows no limits ...REPUBLICANS INCLUDED!”

What could be so damning in the report as to make Republicans cover up for their worst enemy? Is it because of the damage it would do to the public trust? It’s not as if the public trusts the government any more, except for some Freepers.

I’m thinking there’s something in the original report that would bring the whole house of cards down on a bunch of corrupt bureaucrats and politicians.

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance of things American but does the public have no recourse to have information released that their Taxpayers dollars paid for.

I wonder why the word try is in the headline.

[doug from upland]

I goofed. Try was in it because it was a story from two years ago. I put (Dec 2005) in the headline.

[doug from upland]

It was ordered to be sealed. It would take Congress voting to release the entire thing, and they are not going to do that. There are many Clinton secrets we will never know during our lifetimes.

[doug from upland]

Yes.

When it seems hopeless, we fight harder.

A number of people dropped dead around Clinton. His council wound up in Fort Marcy park, a bullet to the head with no blood on the ground. Then Clinton abuses one Kathleen Willey in the Oral Office, while her husband offed himself in another park. If Bill and his wife never see prison time, it will be one of the most flagrant injustices of all time.

It will probably be the most flagrant injustice of our time then. They are protected from all sides....It all reads like a wacky novel doesn't it? I fear for America if we have a Dem President and a Dem majority in the Senate and in congress.

I fear for the country due to the democrat candidates, but I also fear for it with regard to some of the republican candidates as well. We don’t need to slip further left at all, and the status quo isn’t a good deal either. We need a massive roll-back of leftist policy in this nation.
