Just like he did during the Lewinsky affair and the LSM will protect him do the end.

...Under pressure from Team Clinton, "60 Minutes" agreed to read a statement from convicted criminal Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, insisting that Freeh's account is flat-out wrong....
It's also a fact that he's [Clinton] remained close to the House of Saud: In 2002, he was paid $750,000 for a speaking tour there. The Saudis also flew the ex-president and an entourage of 40 guests to the kingdom for a 2003 visit....
And Clinton pointedly praised the Saudi government in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission.
Freeh has made similar allegations before, in a 2001 article by Elsa Walsh in The New Yorker. And he notably waited until his last day at the FBI, after George W. Bush had become president, to announce an indictment of 13 Saudis and a Lebanese — still fugitives — for their role in the Khobar Towers attack.
But his questions remain unanswered: Did any of the Clinton folks intentionally impede the FBI probe? Did anyone suggest to the Saudis, explicitly or otherwise, that America was not interested in information implicating high-ranking Iranians in the bombing?
Whatever the answers, there is no denying the terrible fallout from the failure to respond to the Khobar attack: The bombings of USS Cole and two U.S. embassies in east Africa, the attempted assassination of former President Bush and — ultimately — 9/11 all came about because, as Freeh puts it, "we lacked the political will, the spine to take military action against our enemies."
The country, he says, "was not on a war footing," even after the first World Trade Center bombing.
That sent a message to the terrorists that they could attack America with impunity — which led directly to 9/11.
Bill Clinton owes the American people some answers to Freeh's charges.

Actually, I have to disagree.
Clinton has continuously surrounded himself with corrupt people.
Investigations in to people doing fund raising for him have send several people to jail.
Investigations into his wife's business practices have sent several people to jail.
While Clinton was receiving money in illegal campaign contributions from the Chineese, they stole our neutron bomb technology and technology on our Aegis missle system used to protect our warships.
Clinton is either a horrible judge of character and merely surrounded himself with criminals by accident, or he's throughly corrupt himself. In either case he presided over an administration that was far more corrupt than Nixons.
BTTT
BTTT
Don't seem to recall the Saudis killing al quaeda terrorists during the 1990s. Yet they are doing so as we speak.
BUMP!!
pong
This is par for the course for our political class.

Yes, but not in his totality. If you sum up the crimes, scandals, sleaze, adultery, lying --- Billy Boy will be at the top of the list.
I won't hold my breath for the MSM to ask.
Well... the NYSlimes had an article rejecting all of Freeh's accusations... so there! ;^)
This goes far beyond some Slickmiester BS apology ... this POS should be brought up on a malfeasance (while in office) charge.
Wow! A statement from Sandy Berger. This is the same Sandy Berger who pleaded guilty to stealing classified documents and stuffing them in his socks and undies- the same man who was so disorganized (says Clinton) that he probably took them by mistake. Why not a statement from Craig Livingstone or John Huang.
I got Freeh's book yesterday -- it's a great read. Freeh understands Clinton's nature. I doubt if he would trust him as far as her could throw him...
