I’m a bit unclear about this.

Rawstory has just posted a letter Sen. Biden wrote to Condi Rice alerting to her to the fact that John Bolton may have misinformed the Foreign Relations committee with respect to whether he was interviewed by the State Department IG during the course of the State Dept./CIA joint inspectors general report from 2003.

I find this a bit mystifying for a couple reasons. My recollection from last year, first of all, is that Bolton’s supporters were pretty freely noting this report and claiming that it had cleared him of any wrongdoing in the Niger/Uranium matter. Secondly, does this mean that Biden’s staff wasn’t acquainted with the State/CIA joint report before today?
