Well, that would be a decent guess...except that we ARE in charge after all.
My guess, the outgoing administration of idiots passed a truckload of files onto the Bush adminstration. They can probably prove it; and they were either never read prior to 9/11...or read by someone who didn't realize their significance.
That's really the only plausible reason; unless GWB actually genuinely likes Clinton and is trying to protect him. Gag.
What keeps GWB from going after the corruption of the last Administration is his respect for the office he holds. GWB believes the Executive Branch has been under assault for the past two decades and wants to make sure the Executive powers are not ignored as the RATS exercise their Bury your head in the sand approach to National Security

I have no doubt the truth is something like this.
We know the Clinton administration was a hundred times more at fault in this than the Bush administration. And personally, I am interested not so much in embarrassing Bill for old times sake but in throwing up a roadblock on Hillary's march to the Presidency.
But look at it for a second from the Bush administration's point of view. The MSM is facilitating this cover-up to help the Clintons. but if it does blow up, the whole story will be about Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush. 24/7. Realistically, it would probably be enough to destroy the Bush administration's potential effectiveness over the next three years. And yeah, maybe take Hillary down too.
Bush just isn't willing to fall on this hand grenade. Really, its not even so simple to see what the best outcome would be.
