This seems kind of important to me but then again, I also believe the rumors that Janet Reno has been seen wearing women's clothing:

FBI Faults Justice Over Fund Probe

By Larry Margasak
Associated Press Writer
Wednesday, Sept. 22, 1999; 6:48 p.m. EDT

WASHINGTON –– In a rare public airing of friction between the FBI
and its parent Justice Department, bureau agents testified Wednesday that prosecutors impeded their campaign fund-raising inquiry. The former lead prosecutor countered by criticizing the agents' work.

The testimony before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee spotlighted the bitter internal disagreements in the investigation of donations to the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election campaign.

Disagreement over the investigation caused friction between Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh. Reno eventually rejected the director's conclusion that an independent counsel should be appointed.

Disputing Reno's oft-quoted assertions of a vigorous investigation, FBI agent Daniel Wehr told the committee that the initial lead attorney in the inquiry, Laura Ingersoll, told the agents they should "not pursue any matter related to solicitation of funds for access to the president. The reason given was, 'That's the way the American political process works.' I was scandalized by that."
