Here’s a perfect guy to protect us from Kruschev
Here’s the results of yet another failed, multi-year investigation of a Clinton appointee, that blew another $21 million of our tax money… and ended with political accusations instead of the desired result. You know… evidence?
Prosecutor Barrett lived off the government tit for a decade and the best he could do for the Rabid Right was to time his accusations to a time when his president stands accused of several Constitutional violations more egregious than any that any previous president ever committed. Yes, let’s distract the public attention from criminal conduct to the halfbaked theories of a prosecutor too incompetent to complete his investigation within any time frame that might do any good for any citizen.
Criminal obstruction of his inquiry and coverup make for good chatter in the studios of the mouth-foaming punditry, who quiver at the thought of Hillary running for the White House. It’s noteworthy that, per usual, nothing in the report even hints that she was involved in any way, shape or form.
Even Barrett’s published theory is incredibly weak:
Mr. Barrett’s 746-page report said that the tax and obstruction phase of the inquiry ended without a definitive conclusion, but it declared: “These agencies’ treatment of possible charges against Cisneros was at best questionable and at worst represented serious wrongdoing. There seems to be no question that Cisneros was given special consideration and more limited scrutiny because of who he was - an important political appointee.”
“Seems to be no question”? The appendices attached to the report clearly question that assertion, denying it outright:
They suggested that the prosecutor had turned his disappointment in his inability to prove the obstruction allegations into unprovable theories.
Theory versus theory. More than ten years and $21 million later. The judicial panel cleared it for publication in November and he waited till now. I guess that helped him pay his Christmas bills.
And once again, vast public resources were poured down the drain in pursuit of speculation that could not be substantiated beyond the fact that Cisneros admitted lying. Justice department and IRS officials do not all come from one party, so making a conspiracy theory out of this requires tinfoil hats.
Get your Reynolds Wrap out, boys and girls, as they try to take down the President who left office 5 years ago. At this rate, they’ll enter the 21st Century just in time to convict Alger Hiss… of jaywalking.
