Why write such an article? Is it meant to insulate Hillary from some upcoming revelation regarding VF and his untimely death? Hillary’s people would rather have the media forget VF ever existed I would assume. Is Bernstein playing out his own guilty feelings of having swallowed the cover-up cover story regarding VF’s death? Wouldn't’t it just be better to leave all this unsaid? Is he anticipating the scandal by scandal, crime by crime replay and reexamination of the Clinton Years that may well soon be a constant feature in the Alternative and even Mainstream press? I think it is a little of all of the above, with revelations lurking and soon to be exposed.

I suspect it's a "limited hang-out" thing. He's acknowledging that there were problems, but leaving out the most damning details. For instance, he writes about the Travel Office firings but completely leaves out the subsequent abuse of the FBI and IRS, without which this would have been a very minor scandal.

It was reportedly termed "innoculation" by insiders in the Clinton administration.
