Barret Report: 100 Redacted Pages Need To Be Released To Public
With 100 pages of the Barret blacked out, it looks like the teeth of the report got pulled. The Senate needs to reverse the bill to black out those 100 pages. If nothing else will convince the Republican Senators then the politics the Democrats are throwing around should have done the trick.
This month a report completed in 2004 by independent counsel David Barrett was made public. It documented the obstruction and impediment of justice that gave the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development a license to lie and cheat.
The term “made public” is a misnomer; 100-plus pages of the original 400-page report were “redacted” by court order.
snip…..Cisneros was able to parley 18 felony counts into a single “guilty” plea to a misdemeanor on a charge of lying to the FBI. For this, he was convicted and paid a $10,000 fine. The lies were about his income, his IRS tax filings and his adulterous relationship over a number of years with Linda Miller, who received huge and regular payments from him. On Bill Clinton’s last day in office, Cisneros received a presidential pardon.
