Joe Conason: Bill Barr Ordered the Little Rock FBI Office to ‘Concoct’ a Criminal Investigation of the Clintons By Oct. 16th

RUSH EXCERPT:

CONASON: “In 1992, joy, a partisan employ of the resolution trust corporation, which oversaw the dissolution of bankrupt savings and loans concocted what was called a criminal referral about bill and Hillary Clinton in order to influence the 1992 elections and pestered the U.S. Little Rock attorney about this for a while. She became very notorious, her name was Jeanne Lewis. But this found its way to Washington. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Little Rock thought this was nonsense, which it was. This is an early version of white water. But it found its way to Washington and to the desk of William Barr. And Barr, in October, 1992, weeks before the election.” 
REID: “That’s before the election.”
>> Ordered the Little Rock FBI office to create a — basically to concoct a criminal investigation of the Clintons by October 16th. This enraged the U.S. Attorney there, a very honorable Republican named chuck banks, who sent a letter to the FBI saying, I won’t participate in this. I won’t have anything to do with this. This is a violation of the northeast basic principles of the Justice Department. And if anybody from the press asks me about this, which inevitably will happen if you do this, I will send them to the attorney general, William Barr, because this is coming out of his office. “
