Damning Clinton Report Might Be Hidden Forever

It seems that unless there is some public outrage, the report investigating Clinton's HUD chief, Henry Cisneros, might never be released to the public. The report, started ten years ago by independent counsel David Barrett, has been complete for years, but Democrats have blocked it from being released. It apparently details significant abuses of the IRS by the Clinton Administration. And now it may never be released.


Columnist and talk-show host Tony Snow believes that the report would seriously damage Hillary's chances at a presidential run:

"By all accounts, the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell, capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential prospects," writes Snow. "At the very least, it would bring to public attention a scandal that would make the Valerie Plame affair vanish into comical insignificance."
