Update:
FBI FREEH UNLOADS ON CLINTON: 'CLOSETS WERE FULL OF SKELETONS'

Louis Freeh Speaks for the First Time About his Terrible Relationship with the President
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh says publicly for the first time that his relationship with President Bill Clinton – the man who appointed him – was a terrible one because Clinton’s scandals made him a constant target of FBI investigations. Freeh discloses this and many other details of his dealings with the Clinton White House in a new bombshell book: 'My FBI : Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror' -- set for release next week.
Freeh has taped an interview with Mike Wallace and CBSNEWS '60 MINUTES' to be broadcast Sunday, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

In the book, “My FBI,” he writes, “The problem was with Bill Clinton -- the scandals and the rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting was leading him in the wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out.”
The director sought to distance himself from Clinton because of Whitewater, refusing a White House pass that would have enabled him to enter the building without signing in. This irked Clinton. “I wanted all my visits to be official,” says Freeh. “When I sent the pass back with a note, I had no idea it would antagonize the president,” he tells Wallace.
Returning the pass was only the start of the rift. Later, relations got so bad that President Clinton reportedly began referring to Freeh as “that F…ing Freeh.” Says Freeh, “I don’t know how they referred to me and I really didn’t care,” he says. “My role and my obligation was to conduct criminal investigations. He, unfortunately for the country and unfortunately for him, happened to be the subject of that investigation,” Freeh says.
In another revelation, Freeh says the former president let down the American people and the families of victims of the Khobar Towers terror attack in Saudi Arabia. After promising to bring to justice those responsible for the bombing that killed 19 and injured hundreds, Freeh says Clinton refused to personally ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question bombing suspects the kingdom had in custody – the only way the bureau could secure the interviews, according to Freeh. Freeh writes in the book, “Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis’ reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.” Says Freeh, “That’s a fact that I am reporting.”
The most unsavory of those investigations was the one concerning Clinton and Lewinsky. The White House intern had kept a semen-stained dress as proof of her relationship and a Clinton blood sample was needed to match the DNA on the dress. “Well, it was like a bad movie and it was ridiculous that…Ken Starr and myself, the director of the FBI, find ourselves in that ridiculous position,” he tells Wallace. “But we did it…very carefully, very confidentially,” recalls Freeh. As he explains the plan in the book, Clinton was at a scheduled dinner and excused himself to go to the bathroom. Instead of the restroom, he entered another room where FBI medical technicians were waiting to take a blood sample.
Freeh says he was determined to stay on as FBI director until President Clinton left office so that Clinton could not appoint his successor. “I was concerned about who he would put in there as FBI director because he had expressed antipathy for the FBI, for the director,” he tells Wallace. “[So] I was going to stay there and make sure he couldn’t replace me,” Freeh tells Wallace.
Developing...
Yeah, at least 115 of them.
Knowing them, it will be 'making them up.'
We were very lucky to survive such a corrupt person being in the highest office.
I am firmly convinced that if not for the symbiotic relationship between him and the Media in this country ( one fed off of, and enabled the other ) he would have finally been prosecuted, and been remembered as "just one more corrupt Southern Governor."
But he got high enough to deflect investigations that were ongoing- like the tainted blood scandal.
If you ever see a copy, read "Cover-Up" by David Bresnahan-- he gives a "how he did it" outline, starting with the million-dollar tax and interest-free loans Clinton got for all his friends, from the Arkansas Development Authority. Once he had so many influential people beholden to him, it was clear sailing to the highest office in Arkansas. The rest, as they say, is history.
> Mr. Freeh of all people should realize that speaking the truth about hitlery and slick willie will always end in a case of Arkanicide
Only if the Arcancide can prevent the info from getting out. In this case, the book is written already, and so Freeh is free and clear... kind of like Monica was with the blue dress as insurance.
I think the Clintons are most likely commie infiltrates. They are out to destroy America and are being true to their morals. It just that their morals are anything goes to promote the downfall of America and allow for the commies to take over.
May have?
That's unfair. You shouldn't be drawing such conclusions just because John Huang used to walk over to the Lippo offices to call his aged grandmother back in China after every classified briefing.
Just when you thought that you could not hear anything worse about x42, another book comes out. Sheesh.
Just because I refuse to post a thread called "DID YOU HEAR WHAT DAVID CORN JUST SAID?!", I'm sticking this here:
David Corn on FNC to Bob Sellers about Freeh's new book re: Clinton: "Big Deal: We all know his moral compass pointed south"...
Well, it seems to me that the clintons have more skeletons than the hapless American public can absorb at any time or another. So they just ignore the scandals and still pine for "their bill" because "he cares."
The problem remains: many feeble Americans love and adore the alias Bill Clinton and will never believe the truth about that "young man" who "cares."
Well, don't you think many of your fellow Americans are awaiting eight more years of clinton through the personage of "his wife" because "they care"?
Freeh is up to his hips hisself........clintonistas and their handlers implode !....cool !
So why does the Bush family cozy up to Bill? I have yet to hear an answer that makes sense.
RR is working well in Ocala FL, Drudge is plentiful what gives.
Yes, at least the info is out there and from someone who should know. . . l o n g time. . .but he would be vulnerable. . .
DID ANYone hear Clinton's response to Freeh's book. . .he made some statements; Fox carried him. . .yesterday or today. . .but I missed seeing this. . .and I did not want to miss it; and have not heard a word since on Fox News re this matter. . .
Think it is a kind of turning the other cheek and comes from the 'Bush strength' and not from a perceived weakness. . .and is done with the idea of planting the seeds of 'good will' for the country. . .and because you do 'onto others. . .' and this response could be considered politically practical as well. . .
THAT said. . .and WHATever their reasons; the Clinton's are morally empty people and will remain that way.
We know you cannot get blood from a turnip; by the same. . .you cannot give blood to one either.
Applies to the rest of the 'empty Left' as well.
America will be better served to appreciate the truth of the Clinton's. . .and the Left et als, as well.
(oops on not editing) hmmm, all well. . .with the 'as wells'. . .but oh well. . .a bump for the thread ;^)
