Cover Up???
By Tony Snow
Tony is back with a vengence! After returning full time to his radio program and, hopefully, his Saturday AM show on FNN, he's armed with a serious scoop involving the IRS and an attempted cover up by several Dems, included John Kerry, by tagging on an addendum to a bill guaranteed to pass.
It's long been alleged that the Clinton administration was using the IRS as a weapon against his non-supporters. And truth be told, we don't know if that is still going on today.
But know we should. And this attempt to withhold an independent counsel's report on this subject by tagging language onto a military and humanitarian funding bill for Iraq/Afghanistan is outrageous.
But I'll let the Snow man give you the details. No one can do it better! Below is just the opening excerpt. Continue readiang at the link above.
Senators Byron Dorgan, John Kerry and Richard Durbin pulled a fast one last week on their congressional colleagues. They tried to bury forever documents alleging that senior government officials tried to transform portions of the IRS and the Justice Department into a goon squad for attacking political enemies and aiding political friends.
Naturally, they didn’t declare their intentions openly. Instead, Sen. Dorgan attached an innocent looking amendment to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill that will fund government operations after September 30. The last-minute amendment read:
“At the end of the bill, add the following:
“SEC. __ . (a) None of the funds appropriated or made available in this Act or any other ACT may be used to fund the independent counsel investigation of Henry Cisneros after June 1, 2005.
“(b) Not later than July 1, 2005, the Government Accountability Office (sic) shall provide the Committee on Appropriations of each House with a detailed accounting of the costs associated with the independent counsel investigation of Henry Cisneros".
