His closets were full of non-skeletal chubby interns waiting to burst out too. Must have been crowded in there.

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.
Developing...
Well, I said I didn't have the book right in front of me anymore.
He stayed long enough for Bush to get through the transition period. He resigned in June of '01 I believe.
I use Road Runner and am having no problems bringing up Drudge.
no. It was Janet Reno's job to arrest Clinton
I wasn't very tuned in at the time that the Aldrich book came out, but I would think he has a very good chance to get a much better hearing in the wake of Freeh's book, especially if there are a lot more details and serious allegations to come in Freeh's book. I don't know if Aldrich has the stomach for dealing with more MSM slime, but if he does he should re-issue his book with a new forward supplementing what comes out from Freeh and reviewing how hideous the MSM SAPs have been in distorting, smearing, and ignoring those who have tried to address these incredibly important issues for the public.
The Bureau and the Mole??
But it's straight enough for now and I'm done with it.
Thanks for ping E. Been off the threads most of the day. I shall closely read this post that is for sure.
I looked it up on Amazon because I was interested in your reference. Did you like it? Would you recommend it?
Another Clinton appointee who violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic? Shocking.
Wow, the Freeh book shot up to #8 in Amazon sales in just the past few hours -- it was below #40,000 when I first saw this thread today, so between Drudge and Free Republic and anyone else linking to it this book is now officially HOT stuff..... hope it will be a #1 before long, and #1 on the NY Slimes list, and then maybe the MSM SAPs won't dare ignore.
Freeh's career and Hanssen's are paralleled throughout. Since both went high up at the FBI, you might expect the parallels to be strong and they are. Freeh emerges as a flawed hero, Hanssen as the classic man with a double-life.
Certainly he may have a lot more freedom now about what he can tell the public. It would have been best in so many ways if he'd added his voice, even behind the scenes, to the pressures for the impeachment and conviction of Clinton back in '98.... and if he'd gone public during the impeachment period then it might have been a lot harder for the Senate to weasel out of the matter.....
I sure do hope Freeh now has a lot of useful things to say about Clinton's mendacious ineptitude and worse when it comes to dealing with terrorism!! Just the item about Clinton not pressing Prince Abdummah for FBI access to the prisoners in the Khobar Towers investigation (and then hitting Abdummah up for a donation to the Clinton Harem, er Library) is HUGE.... I hope Freeh has a lot more to say, and that he orchestrates his media appearances carefully to set traps and snares for all the Clintonistas who will be flooding the MSM with counter-interviews.
