Freeh's Timing: Blame it all on Clinton
but of course!

Ex-FBI Chief Puts Clinton Critique in Print
Freeh's Book and Interview Air Harsh Statements; Some Call It Fiction

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 7, 2005; Page A02

Former FBI director Louis J. Freeh has denounced Bill Clinton over the scandals that marred his presidency and for his record on terrorism, saying the level of distrust was so great that he stayed in his post so Clinton could not appoint his successor.

In a forthcoming book and "60 Minutes" interview, Freeh, whose strained relations with Clinton were no secret, says he was so determined to distance himself from Clinton that he sent back a White House pass so that all his visits would be deemed official. This, he said, antagonized Clinton.


In an interview with CBS's Mike Wallace to be broadcast Sunday, Freeh says: "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." Freeh cited investigations involving Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers.

2. Freeh may wish he'd kept a low profile *in these times*
According to my assorted research over the last few years that piece of shit (Freeh) is ground zero for all the infiltration in the FBI over the last decade pertaining to 911 and anything else you can think of.

Apparently he was drawn out for another 15 minutes of fame, but I guarantee if the bush reich ever implodes and the truth of 911 comes out Freeh will be right in the thick of the story.

Clinton's error wasn't getting a BJ it was appointing Freeh.

5. Mike Wallace must be trying to help his son's lackluster
ratings over at FOX by throwing red meat -- albeit not fresh and therefore quite stinky — to Chris Wallace's rightwing audience...

3. Penis
Clinton flopped out his penis! What a threat to security!

Of course , Bush not worrying about an August 6th memo that said Bin laden was going to attack the USA using an airplane is no big deal.

4. Freeh just blew it
"he sent back a White House pass so that all his visits would be deemed official. This, he said, antagonized Clinton."

What that says to me is the Freeh's spite caused a breakdown in the transfer of any knowledge that the FBI might have of pre-911 terror plans to the man responsible, The President of the US.

He allowed his petty feelings to interfere with the proper performance of HIS duty to his country. PURE AND SIMPLE!!!!!


In trying to make Clinton look bad, Freeh only reveals his venality.
