>>I'm not sure about that but Reagan got a peek at the Iran Contra report.

Not the same thing at all, though the Clinton shills would obviously like the public to think so. They not only want the report in advance, they want Starr to withhold the report for one week from Congress so they can prepare their latest assault on the truth.

There is a distinction with a difference. The Starr report is an impeachment report and has different requirements. The Walsh report was not an impeachment report since Walsh didn't find any impeachable offenses. According to Lisa Myers of NBC News, the IC statute forbids Starr from reporting the impeachment report to anyone other than Congress.

jlallen, it's a moot subject now that Kenneth of Starr said "no", but anyway what I thought at least sounded outrageous was the language that Kendal used to ask for an advance copy: "on the grounds of elemental fairness".

On the grounds of elemental fairness, Clinton should have, among a laundry list of other "should haves", "cooperate[d] fully and completely, and sooner rather than later", like he said in the beginning.

The problem with the promise of full cooperation was that the entire investigation was progressing on so many paths because there seemed to be pretty strong evidence that Clinton's natural impulse was to do anything *but* cooperate.
