Robert Novak recounts how Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) tried to defund the special prosecutor in the Henry Cisneros investigation -- an action that would have prevented release of the prosecutor's investigation report that is allegedly "political dynamite" for many prominent Democrats -- in an appropriations bill. The "defunding" rider was agreed to in the overly cordial (if not fellow-traveling) Senate Appropriations Committee
Thankfully, four Republican Senators outside the committee blew the whistle and the defunding attachment was removed in the House-Senate conference. Read the article for a full report on this underhanded trick Dorgan used to try to hide Clinton-era abuses from the American people.
