NY Times of March 26, 1993: "Any hope that the Clinton Administration would operate a Justice Department free of political taint -- or even the appearance of political taint -- grew dim yesterday when the White House confirmed that it would dismiss the U.S. Attorney investigating one of its chief Congressional allies."

"is there a kernel of truth" If by that you mean "were they trying to 'play politics' with these federal offices, and use them to protect their own from some investigations, while steer some investigations (or at least play with the timing and press releases, etc.) in the direction of their opponents so as to extract political dividends from these reins of power?" I'd say, well... where there is smoke there is usually fire, so the odds are, yes, that probably EXACTLY what they were trying to accomplish.
