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...
I hope Freeh doesn't have any skeletons. If he does, Clinton will surely find them and dig them up.
The only shocking part of Drudge's story is that Freeh is going to be on 60 Minutes about his book. If Freeh criticizes Clinton in the interview, the 60 Minutes bit is certain to be a hit piece on Freeh, and will try to trash his crediblity and his book. CBS is absolutely predictable in its uncompromising loyalty to Clinton and covering up the real Clinton legacy.
A$$$HOLE !!!!!!!
I agree...Im almost giddy....LOL
Heads up ping! (Geez, is FR slow today, or what?)
I coulda told him that before Clinton was ever elected..it was friggin' OBVIOUS what clinton was, is, and will continue to be: ANTI-AMERICAN TRASH
I wonder if Hillary will now divorce Bill. LOL
I hope Freeh doesn't have any skeletons. If he does, Clinton will surely find them and dig them up.
Or INVENT them.
I hope Bush, and everybody else who can get access (except Sandy Burglar), visits the Ford Building before the end of his term.
Never happen. The story will be spiked.
If true, then to me that actually would explain a lot.
Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror'
Bringing down the mafia: page 1 thru 10
Fighting the war on terror: page 11 thru 14
Investigating Bill Clinton: page 15 thru 223
Strengths of Janet Reno: page 224 thru 224
Now here's some mind candy for us all! Not that it really matters now, but I sure as hell wish he had spoken up sooner. But then again, perhaps this will convince the Sheeple in America that are Hillary supporters, that having ANY Clintons in the White House is a BAD idea.
There is no statute of limitations for treason. If we can gather one scrap of solid evidence, then Slick and Hildebeast should indicted!
Clinton's behavior towards our national security was malfeasonce at best and treasonous at worst.
1) Supplying access to nuke tech from Los Alamos in exchange for campaign contributions from the PRC.
2) Doing NOTHING after the first WTC attacks in 1992 we should have declared war on Al Queda and Bin Laden, AND not 'receiving Bin Laden' from Sudan in 1996 when they were willing to extradite him.

I'm having a "We've got him now!" deja vu moment.
Remember all the times we thought ol' Slick was doomed?
It was like Charlie Brown and the football.
