Not much new except that the Judge gives a tentative release date of Jan. 19. Keep those letters and phone calls going to the Senate and House!
$22 million of OUR TAX DOLLARS paid for this report and we have a right to see it IN IT'S ENTIRETY!!!

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Editorial
Independent Counsel David M. Barrett has spent $22 million on a 10-year-old investigation of Henry Cisneros.
Mr. Cisneros was a Clinton-era housing secretary who pleaded guilty in 1999 to a misdemeanor count of lying to the FBI. Just before he left office, Bill Clinton's pardoned him.
Mr. Barrett was tapped to look into whether during background checks for the Cabinet post, Cisneros had lied to the FBI over payments he made to a mistress.
You'd think it was all over with the guilty plea. It wasn't. Mr. Barrett also was possibly looking into Cisneros' tax records and then allegations the Clinton administration used the IRS against political enemies. Stonewalling by the IRS and the Justice Department may have put Barrett off his game.
Barrett's report has been finished since 2004. It remains unreleased. Lawyers for people named in the report have been petitioning the supervising judges to remove their clients' names and damaging allegations.
Pressure is rising from Republicans in Congress for release of the document while Democrats are resisting, fearing politically explosive revelations about Bill and Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. Barrett has given a tentative date of release as Jan. 19. But who knows what juicy nuggets will have been removed.
The proper objectives of law enforcement do not include protecting Mrs. Clinton's campaign for the presidency.
Reveal all and let the chips fall where they may. |

A pardon is just that, a pardon. It does not remove guilt. The GUILTY party is pardoned from his punishment, not declared innocent. Removing the names and damaging information is an attempt to change a guilty but pardoned status into an innocent and exonerated status.
These liberals are just too much.
