Louis' Revenge: Bill Clinton Is a Criminal!

Sounds like former FBI Director Louis Freeh has had enough of being the scaepgoat for Clinton's malfeasance in office.

From the Drudge Report:

'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."

So Clinton basically sold out our national security for a contribution to his presidential library!


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.
