Congress can decide to release everything. The secrecy clause is a judicial rule of federal procedure. The power of Congress in impeachment is plenary. There is no doubt as to which trumps the other. >> They need to begin the public information war, and if they have only a secret report, they're in trouble. Kendall is going to have a big headstart. Kendall needs it. He has already lost the war.

The report is secret only to the extent Congress chooses to make it so. The pressure to release the report to the public is going to be tremendous. I have already called my congresscritter's office to remind them that impeachment is a political process, hence the rules of evidence do not apply. PTB P.S. If I were Clinton, I would refuse to pay Kendall's legal bills and sue him for malpractice.

"The elaborate security precautions were intended to prevent news leaks, but sources told NBC News within minutes after the boxes left Starr's offices that the report contains some "big surprises." In addition to possible bombshells, the report contains evidence supporting charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and abuse of power against the president arising from his attempts to keep secret his sexual relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky." msnbc.com >>As for the reports (or rumor posted here) that Starr did not include an executive summary "But since sources told NBC News that Starr did not write a summary of his report, the House leaders will have to work out another plan. It was not immediately clear how long that would take. There was no immediate comment from Starr's office for the seemingly hasty submission, but observers speculated that it was intended to prevent Clinton's lawyers from going to court to stop Starr from sending the report to Capitol Hill.
