Why Hasn’t The Barrett Report Been Released?

Filed under: Politics, Barrett Report — Toni @ 8:06 am

I’ve been hearing snippets about this report now for at least a month. Considering that independent counsel David Barrett has been investigating this tax fraud coverup since 1995, as an American Citizen I think it should be made available to be read.

Here’s why Democrat leadership has been trying so hard to prevent the release of this report:

It is a 400-page report by independent counsel David Barrett, who started out in 1995 looking into whether or not former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros committed tax fraud when trying to cover up payments to his mistress. The investigation evolved into something quite extraordinary. And it has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media, leaving the reporting mainly to conservatives Byron York of National Review and columnist Tony Snow.

It has turned into potentially a huge scandal. In a recent column by Tony Snow, he writes that the 400-page report “is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential prospects.” He says Barrett “found unsettling evidence that Justice Department officials were actively interfering with the probe and even conducting surveillance of Barrett and his office.”

Where is the Republican Leadership forcing the Democrat hand? Who’s in charge at Capital Hill?

  1. Novak had a column on this a few weeks ago, and why you probably won’t see it anytime soon.

  2. That will never see the light of day … except after it is “leaked” to the blogosphere.
