Under strong pressure from former President Bill Clinton's advisers, CBS's ''60 Minutes'' has agreed to read a statement denying an explosive charge being made on Sunday nght's program by former FBI director Louis Freeh, the WASHINGTON POST reports.
In the statement, Samuel ``Sandy'' Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, challenges Freeh's assertion that Clinton failed to press Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to cooperate with an investigation of the 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in that country, and used the occasion to ask for a contribution to his presidential library. The Saudis made such a donation last year _ six years after the 1998 meeting.
Berger, who was at the meeting, said: ``The president strongly raised the need for Saudi officials to cooperate with us on the investigation into the attack on Khobar Towers at the time when the FBI was attempting to gain access to the suspects. The president did not raise in any fashion the issue of his library.''
Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said he told CBS's Mike Wallace that he had supportive accounts from five other former officials at the meeting, including those briefed about a private conversation between Clinton and Abdullah.
``The fair journalistic question is why they didn't call and get comments for their story from people who were in the room, such as Sandy Berger, and why they took until Friday afternoon to get that done,'' said Lanny Davis, a former White House lawyer, who tried to persuade ''60 Minutes'' producer Jeff Fager to allow him or another Clinton spokesman to appear on Sunday night's segment.
Carson, who called the Freeh book ``a total work of fiction.''
Developing...
It will be years before we realize the damage done to this country by the insidious Clinton duo. I just hope God lets me live long enough to see them tried for Treason!
By this time next week, Freeh's life will be in shambles.
Rush is going to flip out for hours over Sandy Burglar defending Cigar Man!
Sandy "Docs in socks" Berger challenges Freeh's assertions? This is a joke, right? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!! (snort) BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! The audacity of these people ... BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Did they give Bush aids a chance to refute Richard Clark?
"...and I have the proof right here in my socks."
Comes out Tuesday. Let's boost this puppy to #1 and keep it there.
Howie Carr intervirews Chris Wallace, every Friday, about his upcoming Fox, Sunday morning show. He asked him why he wasn't having Freeh on and Chris said that he tried but no go. Well, Howie has Freeh booked for next week. Not sure which day. One thing about Howie is, he asks the questions others won't. Should be good, especially, if he allows callers to ask questions.
They're going to try, but I don't think it works anymore.
Ya think Sandy Berger may be hoping for a slot in a Hillary Administration? Maybe Secretary of State?
You folks are corrupting me.....First book I ever bought on line was the Kerry Lie-fest and now you have me preordering this on Amazon!
My 73 year old mother is doing cart wheels over the thought of the clintons doing time.
"Sandy Berger, even though he got a slap on the wrist for destroying classified documents, is still a criminal. What I can't understand is why clintoon and his cronies get away with committing every crime conceivable, yes even murder, and never get any pen time. What is it that makes these terrible people so special?"
Because, like a Holliwierd movie, the MSM follows the script to a tee.
What I don't understand is why? Why do they continue to support socialism in America even after it has been PROVEN to fail every time it's tried? Why do they continue to support proven lyers and convicted criminals as "experts" or "advisers" even though most politically educated people in America know they are propagantizing? Why is it that Clinton "aides" are totally believable, yet our President is called into question if he says the sky is blue?
What is their motive?
The MSM would scream bloody murder if the administration put pressure on them to allow a rebuttal.
She'll keep him on the reservation til he's no longer of any value. Hillary's administration will look like a N.O.W meeting. Few men,except the effeminate ones, like Rahm and Ickes will be put in positions of power.
Is he out of Jail?
I have a request. Can we please start referring to Bill and Hillary as "the Embattled Clintons," the "Embattled Ex-President Clinton," the "Embattled Senator Hillary Clinton from N.Y."? I find that the word "embattled" seems to lead to downfall. :)
Dunno. But I have the same questions. If you find any answers, pass them on because I sure would like to know too.
Now we know why Berger was stopped for speeding. He was rushing to get to 60 minutes Probably thought he was safe after speedily getting rid of incriminating documents. He should be indorsed by Speedos.
another criminal who 'violated conditions of his parole'
Clinton's whole life had been a work of fiction. I can't believe how many people will lie for that sack of crap!!
I guess the question , "Did the Saudi royal family give to the clinton library?" If he did that would seem to answer the question.
