".......The one thing every witness mentioned, and most brought up first thing, was the behavior of the notoriously rambunctious Freeh children, five of whom were present. This is nothing new, but it's so extreme that it's always cause for comment. They are blond and adorable but absolutely incorrigible, and even as the six have been born and have grown throughout Freeh's eight years as director, the public mischief and misbehavior of his sons has been consistent.
As I was reminded today, even at the time President Clinton announced his choice of Freeh as director, one of the boys was pushing another into the White House goldfish pond. At his swearing-in shortly afterwards, again in the FBI courtyard, the boys ran around constantly throughout the ceremony. Their hijinks at times caused real problems, as, a few years ago, when the older ones found it amusing to send a younger one into the basement to set off motion detectors that caused law enforcement agents to come swarming.
And so, at his final speech in the courtyard, the three younger boys, according to numerous witnesses, made a game of racing up one side of the platform on which their daddy was speaking, running behind him, down the other side of the platform, around in front of the stage, and then back up again. Each time they did this they whacked into the American flag, which after a while was just tilting back and forth "like a ship at sea."
One normally discreet agent just laughed and noted, "they behaved the way they always behave." He said people in the audience were placing side bets, not only on whether the flag would go down, but also on whether one or more would end up in the fountain, on the edge of which they were teetering. In fact, another agent said it looked like one young scamp was trying to push another into the fountain.
The indulgent parents just let it go on, and the older boys didn't intervene. But Freeh, in thanking the agents who took his kids to school, noted that from time to time they had wanted instead to take them into custody.After the speech there was a reception, with cookies (just in case the kids needed a sugar boost) and Freeh stood patiently, greeting and posing for a picture with any employee willing to stand in line. ......"
