You are right - they are irrelevant.

O'Neill's "revelations" play only to hard core lefties. The rest of the electorate, if they even know who O'Neill is, will think he is spitting sour grapes.

Did you hear Cheney in Davos at the World Economic Forum answer a question about O'Neill's book? Cheney, having recommended O'Neill for the Treas Sec spot, poked fun at himself for having poor human resources skills!

The only thing one really needs to know about O'Neill is during the 90s Clinton worked with Marc Rich to make aluminum available to ALCOA when ALCOA was on the ropes (like every other aluminum company). Clinton saved O'Neill's career, but expected payback. Sorta like Vito and the undertaker. I don't think O'Neill wanted to write the book, but was made an offer he couldn't refuse.
