New York Daily News - Home - Daily News Exclusive: Prober blasts Bill: "A special prosecutor's long-delayed report charges that a coverup at senior levels of the Clinton administration killed a tax fraud case against ex-cabinet member Henry Cisneros, the Daily News has learned.You must cease examining Republican misbehavior because you might have done it first, so we have done nothing wrong that you need to know about.
David Barrett's 11-year, $23 million probe, which will be released tomorrow, states in stinging terms that this Clinton coverup succeeded.
Cisneros was forced to admit in 1999 that he had made secret payments to a mistress before serving as Clinton's secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Barrett investigated tax fraud charges stemming from those under-the-table payments.
Then-IRS Commissioner Peggy Richardson, a close friend of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), was involved in efforts to quash the probe, a source close to the case alleged.
But Richardson's role was cut from Barrett's report, which went through 26 drafts, because Democratic law firm Williams & Connolly successfully pressured Barrett to remove a section of the report naming her, a source said."
I guess their parents though that tattlling was an effective method of diversion and protecting one's back. Eleven years and $23 million, what took so long? Unless you were just holding the report back because you thought you might need it to mitigate some negative circumstances?
