While President Clinton was trying to undermine investigations of his own campaign finance abuses, President Bush has ruled against the Burton committees access to old scandals unconnected to him.

Incredibly, it refuses to give up documents about the FBIs Boston office condoning law-breaking.
Read it and weep.
