This is a redux of the 1992 #PassportGate, wherein personnel in GHWB’s adm used gov’t resources to look for dirt to smear Bill Clinton, GHWB’s political oppo’t.
Same players: then AG Bill Barr appt’d Joe diGenova (now Firtash’s atty) as Special Counsel to “investigate.”

While the aim of the IC report was clearly to defend the integrity of the investigation that produced it, tucked away toward the end is information that points to an opposite conclusion.

Critics of the Starr and Ray inv’ns have long held that the Whitewater probe was partisan from the start, born in dirty tricks & manipulation that began with the first Bush adm.
The 2002 OIC itself is presenting facts that substantiate those claims.
