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.

Does LOUIE mention how he scrubbed an investigation into Arabic men at flight schools? Or how his FBI was largely perceived as a balkanized force of Field Offices competing against the CIA and other intelligence agencies, as-well-as against one-another?

No. CLINTON was good as his job. Just compare him to the idiot in the White House today that's fucked up everything he's ever touched.

Of course CLINTON made a mistake. But he appointed FREEH after BUSH Sr. appointed him to be the Federal Judge of NY. It was widely seen as a nice "cross the isle" appointment by CLINTON at the time and FREEH appeared to have many credentials (ex-agent, prosecutor), but he's seen little more than as a partisan Republican hack that was a fuck up as Director.

And Louis Freeh was a completely dysfunctional FBI Director, who was actually waging his own private war against the Clinton Administration.

BUSH kept TENET, so I guess you're admitting he's incompetent too, huh? Whatever WAR, incompetent is W's middle name, but you'll sit there and quibble over this rehashed shit...

Remember, TENET came up with the plan to overthrow the TALIBAN and dislodge the al Qaida from Afghanistan (during the CLINTON years)...Who came up for the plan to invade Iraq?

If TENET is so incompetent, how come Dumbya never followed through with his threatend official rebuking? And FREEH just couldn't get his mind off where CLINTON's dick was, although his was in KEN STARR's ass. Maybe that's why 9/11 happened, because you Rupubla-dolts were out ot get CLINTON and ignored the threats. Fucking traitor FREEH was!

Go vote for another monkey that gets 2000 and counting of our troops killed for a big nothing...

Clinton was out to get some cigars and interns and didn't mind the attacks that were going on between '93 and '98.

'Let's bomb an aspirin factory and kill some poor schlup janitor to make it look like we are doing something about these attacks. It'll also deflect some attention away from this scandal I'm being investigated for.'

"Lackey?" Uh, no WARHAM. He hated CLINTON from day one. How did the asshole that appointed KEN STARR get to be such a CLINTON lover?

[Warham]

I dunno, ask Janet Reno. He'll tell you the answers.

So Nicky,

It was Bush Srs. fault for getting Freeh into the FBI slot then? Hmm?

Is that the way the twisted logic works for your kind? Hmm?

The "skeletons" totaled up to:
1.Hillary may have bought some land for too cheap...and supposedly netted a 50 grand or whatever...but she was absolved of any wrongdoing.]
2. Bill cheated on her a few times.

3. This stuff happened A DECADE AND MORE AGO.

Typical Republican crap. That Freeh guy is a lying sack of shit. He is responsible for the emergence of Al Qaeda and for the Oklahoma City bombing among other things. I bet he doesn't even mention those two events in that stupid book. Just another right wing nut with an ax to grind now that Hillary Clinton is expected to run for the Presidency.

Actually, he wasn't "CLINTON's boy." He was appointed in an effort to have a bi-partisan gov't... It backfired on BILL. But FREEH was a disappointment, if not outright complete incompetent failure, from the start...

He's one of the right-wing nut jobs that sponsored the relentless, destructive investigations of the CLINTONs.

There's a still a long way to go. Warner has done a good job positioning himself as fiscally responsible in the mold of Clinton (Bill).

And contrary to what BBB says about past "insider trading" - I don't think those (false) alegations will hurt him...in fact, I think his hand in founding Nextel will only be a positive.

I think the 2008 election is going to be one of folks remenising about the Bill Clinton years, and of cantidates competing in the voters' minds as to who resembles him the most. Warner has done a good job of this so far.

However, as much as I think Warner would be a good cantidate) what I think will end up happening is that Hillary will win the Democratic nomination ...AND THE PRESIDENCY...because of this wild card, that of Americans wanting to get the trusted hand of BILL back in the White House. As long as William J doesn't croak in the next 3 years, he'll win the race for his wife.
