Update:
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.

I had to switch channels when Greta interviewed Clinton.
LMAO..>I figure if the libnuts are blaming Bush for all of it..we'll have to go back a few millenia and find Bush ancestors we can pin the world's woes on.
BUAHAHAHAHHA! and thanks..:)
That's the one things I just can't get over - the fact that after 9/11 there wasn't a bigger deal made out of the fact the BLAME for the deaths of all those innocent people in the Twin Towers could be laid DIRECTLY at the feet of the CLINTONS who were offered Bin Laden on a platter and were too uninterested in National Security to even bother to arrest him. Hopefully this will become a BIG DEAL during Hellary's campaign. I kinda like the timing of Freeh's book coming out.

I was referring more to the Sr. Bushes......they see Clinton "like another son", I think was the quote.
I suspect that Louis Freeh will MAKE SURE that he can back up his accusations with FACTS!! This man worked for the Clintons, he knows what he is dealing with. Who CARES what the Clinton machine says. The timing of this book is PERFECT!!
Yeah, that was one smart move by Freeh. Not allowing himself to be SAID to be in the White House when he wasn't.
I think he's trying to make sure Hellary does NOT have a hope in Hell of getting elected. It would be nice if this made Hellary to hot for the Democrat nomination!! (I can dream can't I?) LOL
No, actually it goes something like this:
Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home
... and so on.

CLINTON WAS PROBLEM; 'CLOSETS WERE FULL OF ....
..... Flowers, lots of pretty flowers.
hehehehe, couldn't resist that one.
You know...I came to that same conclusion awhile back. He really doesn't want the old battleaxe to run because it would take the spotlight off of him. His bloated ego would not be able to handle it. I also think she will back off in 06, mainly to try for 08.
Either way...IMO, the clintons are doomed has-beens.
WOW I don't recall hearing that GEM!! Organized crime is so right. I once read that Clinton got into office in Arksas via the Southern Mafia or SOMETHING Mafia. I can't quite remember the exact word. Anyway, it had to do with a southern state group of Mafia types.

he thought of Hellary occupying the White House and sullying the place again is just as bad. They are both TRASH!! She's also a thief as in stealing White House dishes and silverware. WHO, in their right minds could ever vote for this HAG? I guess the same type of people that put the CORRUPT Liberals in Power that we have.
I have heard it said that Freeh is BORINGLY a STRAIGHT SHOOTER. The Clintons won't be able to get ANYTHING on him.
Whatever else may be said about him, Director Freeh was a Federal Judge, and knew his criminals. My pet theory as to why he never resigned during Clinton's tenure was to prevent someone more beholden to the Clintons taking office in his stead.
He was testifying to Congress or the Senate- can't recall which, but I saw it live on C-Span.
The criminal group you are referring to is the "Dixie Mafia." Run a websearch, and for exaustive details of the Clintons' eight-year criminal reign, and so much more, our own Alamo-Girl offers this:
Hillary will never be elected to the White House..
