Hillary Clinton's media surrogate Sidney Blumenthal charged Saturday that former FBI Director Louis Freeh "has a lot of responsibility to bear" for leaving America vulnerable to the 9/11 attacks.
In an interview with WABC Radio's Monica Crowley, Blumenthal said he was "very close" to Mrs. Clinton during her tenure as first lady, adding, "I am still her friend."
Moments later he launched into an attack on Freeh, who penned an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday excoriating the Clinton administration for dragging its feet on the Khobar Towers bombing investigation.
"That story by Louie Freeh is completely false," a suddenly emotional Blumenthal charged. "Louie Freeh was operating under a self delusion and his story is completely false about that."
Blumenthal alleged that instead of making terrorism his top priority, Freeh did not use all the resources that were available to him. "He used it instead for internal cyber security in the FBI," Mrs. Clinton's surrogate said.
In the next breath Blumenthal blamed Director Freeh for leaving America vulnerable to the 9/11 attacks.
"[Freeh] was consumed with fantasies that were all false about terrorism," the Clinton insider told Crowley. "And he led himself into an alley and never reformed the FBI, which was dysfunctional and played a role, as we know, in not reporting material that could have led to preventing 9/11. I think Louis Freeh has a lot of responsibility to bear."
Blumenthal also insisted that ex-President Clinton had not committed a crime when he lied under oath about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
"Lying under oath when you're talking about the nation's chief law enforcement officer - don't you think that's a crime?" Crowley asked.
"No," Blumenthal shot back. "He was never convicted of that. He was misleading but he was not convicted. It was a minor matter that happened in something involving sex."
Earlier in the week, Blumenthal offered a similar defense to rebut charges that Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff had accepted $50,000 from campaign finance scandal whistleblower Johnny Chung inside her White House office.
"It was a mistake for [Maggie Williams] to take that money," Blumenthal told WLIE Radio's Mike Siegel. "But you know what, there was no crime committed and no administration official was ever convicted or indicted for any crime involving campaign finance."

Regards,
Richard Nixon!! And half the country will believe him.
Of all the people the Clintonista Cabal corrupted, Mr. Freeh surely is aware of the danger he is in and surely has taken the appropriate precautions.
He was NOT a hero during his time in office - UNLESS he managed to prevent the worst of what the Clintons planned. However, I do not believe that is the case (He didn't disrupt the OKC bombing plans which were being assisted by Federal Agents - and that's just ONE).
I am sure the tactic the Clintons are using is: HE IS CORRUPTED BY BEING PART OF WHAT WENT ON - and just as Sid Vicious is now doing - this tactic of: If we go down we will take you down with us (sound familiar? Yes, it was the Ron Brown statement that got him Clintoncided....)..Anyway - they use blackmail, extortion, bribery first. IF these do not work, then they resort to violence.
The extortion phase has been used against Freeh. If he should perhaps show the kind of courage we have seen displayed by our President and by those in our military and by some in the investigative agencies who HAVE STOPPED additional terrorist attacks - Mr. Freeh could go down in history as the person who single handedly saved our country from the destruction of Clinton Hell Phase II. (Which will mean MANY more deaths than we experienced in Phase I).
In fact, Mr. Freeh knows enough to know that at this moment, we can be certain, the Clinton / Terrorist connections are running and the planning is underway to torpedo both the economy (dramatically) no matter how many Americans will be killed or ruined - as long as it means Hitlery's rise to power in 2004.
Freeh of all of the insiders KNOWS that Hitlery is NOT going to wait on the sidelines until 2008. Anyone who thinks that is an blind idiot.
One can only hope that the courage we have seen displayed in many arenas since September 11th, 2001 will rub off on Mr. Freeh and/or some other insiders in Hitlery hell who will come forward at just the right time to just the right people to let America and the world know what danger we are in if any Democrat - but most especially Hillary Clinton - EVER takes total power again.
Here is a quotation from Pastor Richard Wurmbrand who suffered much under the Romanian Communists: (It is mentioned here because only the ignorant and stupid fail to see that in Hillary (and Bill) Clinton we have Communists of the first order!
"A little lion in its first days you can play with him just like with a puppy. When he becomes great, only then he is a lion. Yugoslavian communism is this little communism. And American communism a very little one and English communism is a very little one. When they grow, when they can do whatever they will to do, then only we can see them With us, in the beginning, we also had a very nice communism. I have seen in Rumanian Communist demonstrations signs with the slogan, "God save the King." I have seen the communist Secretaries of State making great crosses, showing themselves as being on the side of religion and making compliments to religion and bowing to religion and saying they are Democrats. In the beginning, they have put in prison party members who said that the agriculture must be collectivized. And they have gone together with the bourgeois party, with the Liberal Party of Tatorescu and with other Democrats.
I have seen in the West Social Democrats collaborate with them. In Rumania, I have seen dying Social Democrats in the same cell with me; they died. Communists in Rumania, too, were nice until they had the whole power in hand.
When they had the whole power in hand, they have done things exactly as in Russia, and so they will do everywhere. There is no difference."
This is the key: THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE - total power to any communist entity means death, destruction, enslavement. It is just that simple. Freeh knows it. He MUST let all the ugly truth be known - with government protection or whatever is needed to keep him safe.
Who set Freeh's priorities if not Clinton and who had oversight responsibility if not Congress? To say Freeh didn't use all of the resources available is to fail to consider how thinly those resources were spread. Blumenthal is a liar and fails to point out where the FBI resources were directed under Clinton.
[hee, hee, hee...darn the FBI for publicizing their former directors and screwing up Bill's alibi...]
So how is it that Blumenthal knows so much about Freeh's head when Clinton rarely even met with his own FBI director? I find it pretty disgusting that a known liar like Blumenthal has the audacity to call Louis Freeh a liar. It's actually laughable. How these people can get up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me.
He could have demanded all he wanted, but it would have taken more than 8 months for any reforms to have been effective.
Amen to that one! We should all be supporting Freeh right now, urging him to give up the secrets, and then get some real good body guards. We must stop Hillary from destroying this country.
