OIC.
Digging, I found this salon piece which talks about Clintons, Bill Barr, Whitewater, the Office of Independent Counsel…,
And even Robert Mueller.
Election interference in the 1992 election and claims of political malfeasance in the DOJ.
Things are getting really interesting, frens..

The 50-odd pages in this section of the report reveal how political appointees at the highest level of the first Bush administration actually intervened in the normal process of the investigation, not to slow it down but to speed it up – and with the pretty obvious intention of getting the matter before the public prior to Election Day, 1992. This is not the first time this story has been told (it was previously pointed out in "The Hunting of the President," by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons). But it is the first time it's been told in such detail, with so much sworn testimony, and from a source that will be difficult for supporters of the OIC to question.
From the start, Banks, a former Republican candidate for Congress whom the first President Bush had recently nominated to the federal bench, had misgivings about the quality of the potential case, and he was suspicious about its timing. But there is no evidence, as even the OIC report concedes, that Banks treated the matter in anything but a proper manner.
At around the same time, though, people at the highest levels of the Bush administration found out about the Whitewater referral and started in motion a series of actions intended to speed up the handling of it. According to the report, on Sept. 17, 1992, Edie Holiday, the secretary to the Cabinet in the Bush White House, contacted then Attorney General William Barr and – after some awkward back and forth – asked Barr if he "would be aware of a pending matter in Justice (she may have said it was a criminal referral) about a presidential candidate or a family member of a presidential candidate."
