Lost in the tumult over Islamic port deals and Katrina video capers is the recently released -- and willfully ignored -- Barrett Report. David Barrett, you'll recall, is the independent counsel appointed in 1995 to investigate allegations of impropriety against President Clinton's Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros. Mr. Barrett found his path mined by the Justice Department, the Internal Revenue Service and President Clinton's attorneys, even after Mr. Clinton departed the White House. He prepared 18 felony indictments against Mr. Cisneros but had to settle for a guilty plea on a misdemeanor charge (lying to the FBI about his mistress, a poor choice for a tax write-off). He sought to prosecute Mr. Cisneros for tax fraud over a period of years but was thwarted by Attorney General Janet Reno. Ultimately Mr. Cisneros resigned his post, whereupon President Clinton, constitutionally bound to men who lie about their mistresses, pardoned him.

"So: We have here twin cautionary tales of fraud, corruption, obstruction and cover-up converging on -- surprise! -- Bill Clinton. It's the Barrett Report, of course, which begs the most disturbing question: What evil lurks in those 120 pages that made the Democratic congressmen press so hard for redaction? My money says, a den filled with opulent thieves, in white tie and tails. "Hmmmm. . . .

Something stinks. It's way past time to get the full story out. The spineless GOPers are starting to disgust me. It should not be the President who has to do everything. He's got wars to fight and needs to stay above this, but congressmen don't.

My congress critter is Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) and I called his office 3 times and noone there knew what the hell I was talking about. I told them and even went to his office in Savannah and then his aide called me from D.C. and told how to "find the report on the internet". I told her I knew that part of the report was available but that I wanted to see the redacted portions too. Kingston's office isn't up to speed on this and I have the idea that he won't do anything at all to get it released either. What a bad joke on all the American people this is. The really sad part to me is that Kingston is #5 on the Republican hierarchy list. If Kingston doesn't get his act together and get this report released in its' entirety, I'll never vote for him again! I told his office that too.
