Why wasn't the GOP out there like this to defend against Richard Clarke and Joe Wilson's lying pieces of trash books? Oh that's right, because when a Clinton defender goes out to defend Clinton he's given all kinds of credibility. When a Republican goes out to defend against lies and distortions against Bush, he's said by the media to be "part of the GOP slime machine" and to be "smearing a respected Washington figure."

Sorry, but that was all but saying, 'I want to keep you at arm's length because I don't trust you.'

I don't think so. I think that Freeh knew that it was important to keep a paper trail of his comings and goings.

Heck, I didn't even know that Mike Wallace was still alive.

Maybe he isn't. How could we tell?

It will have the crap edited out of it. I imagine it will be about three seconds and have two spliced words, Bush and liar.

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.

You're a good man, Freeh.

Honorable man? Ok lets go down the line. The FBI stood by while the files were taken and read by the clinton's and who knows else. (Remember under nixon one file landed colson five years in jail.)

Clinton took money from the Chinese government and from Loral company to give them secrets that they have now used to be able to target and hit anyplace in the usa with nukes. Where was the FBI under freeh on all that when it was going on?

Under the FBI Los Alamos was raided of it's secrets over and over, again for campaign contributions.

Drug usage by potus clinton was ignored. I have direct knowledge of the FBI turning down information on actual drug usage going on by Clinton. (Not talking about pot here either.)

The FBI conducted the political witch hunt against pro-lifers called VAPCON. This whitch hunt brought innocent peaceful pro-lifers to a grand jury in alex for five years. Every one of us that were leaders in the pro-life movement were followed around by the FBI and brought to the grand jury to harrass us and teach us that our protesting days were numbered. (I had two agents sitting in a car at the bottom of my drive way for the better part of a year during that time.) My credentials as a peaceful pro-life protester are impeccable.

This witch hunt went on until finally Dan Rather began to condemn it on his evening broadcasts as an attempt to shut down peaceful pro-life protest, which it effectually did. Why was the FBI under Freeh allowing that? Oh, i forgot, he didn't want to upset potus and lose his job. As far as we could see through the entire clinton administration Freeh was part of the problem. He was allowing the politicazation of his office by the most corrupt admin to come into our public life.

Even the legendary FBI lab was found to be lacking under Freeh. It seems that if you wanted to compile a list and show how many ways the FBI was corrupted under clinton it could go on for pages. Freeh refused to stand with Aldridge and other agents at the white house when they were being shunned and marginalized by the clintons. And if aldridge is to be believed he and other agents were pushed aside by Freeh for doing nothing but reporting what was going on.

I would say, if you want to give this man money, after sitting on his a$$ for the last five years since the terrorists bombed us and never saying a word about the issues following other al Queda attacks like the Cole then you just go right ahead. There is something that stinks about the timing here. Freeh could have, at any time come out and told all. He instead does it through this book which will only serve to make him look like a good guy.

He expects us to stand and think that he didn't know about all the things that were being done to corrupt even the FBI?

What about all those charges brought against Billy Dale by the FBI in the White House Travelgate? How come we forget that the FBI was working with Clinton to take this guy out of office by sending him to jail for the rest of his life on trumped up charges? The jury sat for two hours and said the charges were a crock. The man had about fifty charges brought against him, merely so that clinton could give his buddies the travel office. Where was the FBI then? they were the ones bringing the charges.

Don't tell me that they were not totally and absolutely corrupted. We rely on the FBI to provide security for our important secrets. The FBI refused to stop people from seeing top secret stuff under clinton. They allowed any idiot working in the white house to go at it without even needing a security clearance. We are supposed to believe Freeh now? He had his chance to keep that great organization from being corrupt, he didn't. He allowed himself and the whole FBI to come under clinton's evil influence and be corrupted.

Until FReeh writes the book about how he repented from being corrupted im not buying a word he has to say. I think clinton got what he wanted through appointing Freeh. He got an FBI director who would suck up to his administration and allow himself to be corrupted, allow the FBI to bring phony charges against people, allow the clintons to violate secrets of the government over and over and over, allow the clintons to sell our childrens future for a pile of chinese money, and allow the white house to be involved in IRS abuse and other abuses.

For Freeh to be writing a book right now with all that happening under his watch and him not telling anything other than the tid bits that he did is not only wrong but borders on the criminal. This man needs to come clean with the american people. He was right there going along with everything that clinton did, and never said a word till now? He is the lowest of characters. He just wants to sell books. That is all he is about.

No one considers him a right wing fanatic. He hides now under the cloaks of conservative people who took it on the chin for eight long years. He failed at keeping his office independent of corruption, and should have resigned then and told it all. Now, instead of saying "too little, too late" many conservative people are going to go out and buy the book. The shame of it all is that we will never get to the bottom of what was going on in that White House because the FBI was so corrupted by Freeh's relationship with Clinton.

To tell us that the major scandals in the white house didn't include anything that had to do with the Chinese gaining nuclear secrets from the clintons and selling out our childrens lives is a joke.

If he couldn't handle the scandals he should have gotten out of office. Instead what really happened is he refused to deal with the things going on and turned his back on the agents that were at the white house trying to get him to deal with what was going on. The man is a low life.

Either what he says is true, or what Aldridge says is true. One of them has not come clean with what was going on in the white house. I prefer to believe aldridge. Why? because he put his job on the line to come out and tell all. Freeh stayed on and got corrupted, now wants to tell us 5 years later that he was in the know. Save it for someone who wasn't saying all the time the clintons were in office, "Where the hell is the FBI?" "How come they aren't investigating any of this?" and "How did Freeh allow himself to be so corrupted that he would use his office to bring the travelgate charges against Billy Dale for a purely political prosecution?"

Yep, you can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Again, what about the FBI failed investigation into the Al Queda network after the first WTC bombing?

The man is a fool to think that we will buy his story now.

I don't give a tinkers d..n what Freeh gave to which side. He was the man in a position that could have stopped a lot of what was going on, and instead chose not to. I went into much detail in post 68 to try to explain.

I think his book is a crock for reasons that are different. Too little too late. He had an obligation to the american people as head of the FBI to deal with many things that he just let the clintons do, or cooperated with them in doing. Now we hear he wasn't as good buddy as he looked with clinton? Don't buy it. it is a crock.

Honorable man? Ok lets go down the line. The FBI stood by while the files were taken and read by the clinton's and who knows else. (Remember under nixon one file landed colson five years in jail.)

Do you know of any personal scandal or corruption associated with Bill Freeh? You seem to believe that the Director of the FBI is omniscient and omnipotent. You fail to mention any responsibility and role of Freeh's boss, Attorney General Janet Reno. Where was Congress and the GOP leadership? The media? The special prosecutor? Other members of the FBI?

You had a corrupt WH starting with the President and the First Lady. The political appointees running the various agencies were, for the most part, of similar ilk. For example, the IRS was targetting anti-Clintonites for special audits. For eight years, the entire administration was a three ring circus of scandals. You expect the FBI Director to make it all right. With a pro-Dem MSM there was no possibility of a new Deep Throat. Look what happened to Gary Aldridge.

Clinton took money from the Chinese government and from Loral company to give them secrets that they have now used to be able to target and hit anyplace in the usa with nukes. Where was the FBI under freeh on all that when it was going on?

There were all kinds of investigations of campaign finance schemes. Where was Congress and the Justice Department? The Republicans controlled the House from 1994 onwards. The CIA? Where was the MSM? The WH thwarted investigations of their activities by lying and stonewalling.

Drug usage by potus clinton was ignored. I have direct knowledge of the FBI turning down information on actual drug usage going on by Clinton. (Not talking about pot here either.)

Why don't you make it public? As a citizen, you have an obligation to do so. Did you inform your elected reprrsentatives? Law enforcement officials?

Every one of us that were leaders in the pro-life movement were followed around by the FBI and brought to the grand jury to harrass us and teach us that our protesting days were numbered.

Do you think that Louis Freeh was personally responsible for directing this surveillance? I suspect that the Justice Department and the WH wanted a crackdown on violence against abortion clincs to appease the Dem base.

Even the legendary FBI lab was found to be lacking under Freeh.

Yeah right, Freeh was also responsible for the jammed up toliet on the second floor of the FBI building. These conditions don't happen over night. The FBI is a large bureaucracy run by bureaucrats.

Freeh refused to stand with Aldridge and other agents at the white house when they were being shunned and marginalized by the clintons. And if aldridge is to be believed he and other agents were pushed aside by Freeh for doing nothing but reporting what was going on.

How do you know that? I would like to hear Freeh's side of the story. Freeh wasn't exactly a welcome visitor at the WH. Clinton hated to deal with him. Why?

For Freeh to be writing a book right now with all that happening under his watch and him not telling anything other than the tid bits that he did is not only wrong but borders on the criminal. This man needs to come clean with the american people....The man is a fool to think that we will buy his story now.

He is. Buy his book. It is quite obvious that your personal and vitriolic animus towards Freeh is based on your experience with the FBI and your association with VAPCON. I am buying the book, your personal vendetta against Freeh aside.

From Christopher Ruddy's "The Strange Death of Vincent Foster", 1997, Simon & Schuster

The following day, July 20, Foster left his home about 8:00 A.M. His wife remembers him standing "stiffly," drinking his coffee before he departed. Foster, his daughter Laura, and son Vincent III got into a 1989 light gray Honda Accord and drove off. Foster dropped Laura off at work, Vincent at a Metro subway station, and Foster arrived at his White House second-floor West Wing office at about 9:00 A.M. After a routine staff meeting, Foster attended a Rose Garden ceremony to announce the nomination of Judge Louis Freeh as director of the FBI, replacing William Sessions, whom Clinton had fired the day before.

The Freeh ceremony was a coup for the White House counsel's office and Foster, who had played a major role in Freeh's selection-a choice that was being widely applauded by Congress and the press. Sessions had come under criticism during the Bush administration following allegations that he had misused his travel office arrangements. His defenders argued point by point that the charges were baseless and were a smoke screen for those at the White House, at the Justice department, and within the FBI who wanted the bureau to steer a more political course.

By the time Clinton was sworn in, Sessions was mired in controversy, and Clinton promised to give Sessions a fair hearing.

That hearing never materialized, and in the days just before Foster's death, Clinton decided to fire the embattled director. Despite the controversial firing, it appeared on July 20 that the administration had orchestrated a smooth transition from Sessions to Freeh. In point of fact, the White House ceremony that took place that Tuesday was held solely to announce Freeh's appointment. Six full weeks passed before Freeh was actually sworn in.

After the ceremony, Foster returned to his office. Bernard Nussbaum, White House counsel, had been watching the televised coverage of the Freeh ceremony and was now watching the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Nussbaum recalled that he told Foster, “We hit two home runs today,” and that Foster “looked at me with a slight smile. . . [and] just said yes, yes, yes.”

The Fiske report relates that at about noon Foster asked Linda Tripp, executive assistant to Nussbaum, to pick up lunch for him in the White House Mess. She brought a cheeseburger, french fries, and a Coke to his office, and, she noted, as he opened a newspaper while seated on his couch he removed the onions as he always did.

“At about 1:00 P.M.,” according to the Fiske report, Foster “came out of his office holding his suit jacket, without a briefcase. He told Tripp that there were still some M&M's on the tray if she wanted them. He said 'I'll be back,' and then left.”

That was the last time Foster spoke with anyone, according to official reports. His body was found some five hours later in Fort Marcy Park.

“We have been unable to determine where Foster went following his departure from the counsel's office at about 1 :00 P.M.,” Fiske concluded. The last person to see Foster leave was Secret Service uniformed officer John Skyles at security post E-4, the first-floor entrance to the West Wing, which housed the Oval Office and various presidential aides' offices.

Regarding this website and how we got here almost 10 years ago, I must say it has been a journey. However, a bountiful one.

Imagine where so many of were 15-20 years ago. Conservative, with few if any connections.

It was only living in Sacramento in 1987 that kept my sanity. Besides it being a slightly more conservative town than the rest of CA, there was this guy I heard on the radio named Rush Limbaugh.....

I've read most of the book and you're 100% correct.

Louie whitewashing Ruby Ridge, Waco and other embarrassing moments or simply forgets to put them in the book.

He actually calls Paula Jones a "gold-digger", I thought all she wanted was a job?
