1st Circuit Court Suppresses Barrett Report
Tony Snow this morning has news! In a midnight move more reminiscent of a bad "B" movie than of our Federal Government, on the eve of the release of the Barrett Report (an investigation into the activities of Henry Cisneros during the Clinton administration), the special division of the First Circuit Court of Appeals called former Independent Counselor David Barrett last night and ordered him to stop the release of his decade-long investigation. The 400 + page report has had as much as 40% of it redacted by the court.
It is unprecedented for such a report to be so redacted except when there are national security concerns; not the case in this instance. The redacted material is part of the investigation of the IRS and their abuse of their investigating powers under the Clinton Administration.
What are they trying to hide? What is it that is in the report that is so destructive that the Democrat's are fighting so hard to repress it? Who are these career bureaucrats that the courts are protecting? What is this cover-up about? What did the Clinton Administration do to generate such fear?
Yesterday the Democrats made a great show of calling for ethics in government. Okay Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid it's time to prove your bona fides, release the report. Apparently any congressman can access and release the report without fear of repercussion, so...do it. There are 535 members of Congress, surely one of them has the intestinal fortitude to step up to the plate and do what is right.
Congress...America is waiting...
