FBI ex-chief: Skeletons fill Clinton's closets

October 7, 2005

BY DEVLIN BARRETT




WASHINGTON -- Louis Freeh, the FBI director appointed by President Clinton, says his relationship with his boss fell apart because Clinton's ''closets were full of skeletons.''

Clinton's spokesman said Freeh's account was ''a total work of fiction.''

Freeh's relationship with Clinton soured due to friction over investigations aimed at the president or his immediate circle, and disagreement over the probe into a 1996 bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans.

In the past, Freeh has strongly criticized the Clinton administration's response to the bombing of Khobar Towers, and has praised President Bush.

In his upcoming book, My FBI, Freeh says Clinton failed to pressure Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to let the FBI question suspects the kingdom had in custody.

''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 library,'' Freeh writes.

Jay Carson, Clinton's spokesman, said Freeh ''wasn't even present for the meetings he describes. President Clinton repeatedly pressed the Saudis for cooperation on the Khobar Towers investigation and his pressure led to the eventual indictments.''

Carson said Freeh's claims about the library ''are more untruths in a book that clearly has many.''

Freeh discussed the bad blood with Clinton in an interview to be aired Sunday on CBS' ''60 Minutes.''

''We were preoccupied in eight years with multiple investigations,'' Freeh said.

In the book, according to CBS, Freeh writes: ''The problem was with Bill Clinton -- the scandals and the rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended."

How can this be broadcast on a left-wing liberal conspiratist network show like 60 minutes?!? Are you guys suggesting that 60 minutes and CBS is actually (NOW) fair and balanced?

Interesting to hear takes on this one...

 

[IntenseOperator]

I'm suggesting that there is an upcoming 60 Minutes interview with Louis Freeh, the FBI director appointed by President Clinton.


but you can read into it how to cure the common cold if you want

 

[Chadman]

No, I know. I wasn't saying you posted this for any specific reason. I was just getting off the first salvo for my new friends. Kind of a pre-emptive strike, as is the current way to go.

Sorry if you thought I was attacking you. I wasn't.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

You know Chad I seldom watch 60 minutes except end (Andy Rooney) on occasion--but will have to view this one.
Can't see them doing this and am quite curious of their angle.
Will be interesting seeing comments in this thread Monday.

P.S. I was not associating you with left wing liberal in other thread--have lots of debates with Matt and others I certainly do not deem liberal.
The hard core liberals are easy to spot

"...seldom watch 60 minutes...". Why am I not surprised. I assume you just watch Fox News (sic) for confirmation of your already extremest, right wing beliefs as opposed to obtaining an oppostite view point.

This a big reason why your insane and destructive political positions cannot be trusted. You aren't looking to expand your horizons or challenge your views. Rather you are merely looking to confirm your southern Christian right belief system.

Sounds like Freeh is trying to cover his own ass.

Edward For your info I read more news from 10 other countires before you get out of bed,then you read all week.

If I want one sided opinion with what ever it takes including forgeries I'll watch 60 minutes--Andy Rooney is very liberal but rarily talks politics. As for NTY I just read about their retractions daily--which you should be aware of by now.If you would pay attention you would see i make several post from liberal sources

On Christain belief would say you are correct but being I haven't been in church for 15 years would say I am far from radical--You don't have to be a religious fanatic to prefer family oreinted base over illegiamacy or smoking the ole whilte owl--supporting our troops rather than the enemy--working rather than welfare ect

I would say conservative or neo-con- if you would-- much better define me than religious zealot.

Wayne:

Reading what 10 other countries think about Nick and Jessica's latest split up rumors is not what I call "news". In addition, merely running to your favorite radical right wing websites to obtain your facts, figures and other support, on the internet is not what I would call objective fact gathering.

I mean anyone can call DeLay's crimes a witchhunt and Clintons blow job threating national security. Frankly thats what I've heard from your friends. Oh well, life goes on and the country goes further and further down the path of destruction.

Its kinda funny though. The latest polls indicate that people such as myself have finnally found common ground with the radical right with regard to the big dummy in DC. Neither one of us like him.

I can see it now. Jerry Farwell and I marching down Pennsylvannia Avenue each holding up one end of an "Impeach Bush" sign.

Yep Edward--I knew there would be catch on interview--unlike GW forged doc they are letting some of your legal co-harts (Clinton and Berger)come an put their "impeccable character" on the line in a rebutal --and during commercial break Kerry and Edwards will be doing pitch for medicare/medicade and charitble contributions to those destitude from hurricane :142smilie

CLINTON AIDES BATTLE FREEH OVER '60 MINUTES,' BOOK
Sat Oct 08 2005 20:04:07 ET

Under strong pressure from former President Bill Clinton's advisers, CBS's ''60 Minutes'' has agreed to read a statement denying an explosive charge being made on Sunday nght's program by former FBI director Louis Freeh, the WASHINGTON POST reports.

In the statement, Samuel ``Sandy'' Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, challenges Freeh's assertion that Clinton failed to press Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to cooperate with an investigation of the 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in that country, and used the occasion to ask for a contribution to his presidential library. The Saudis made such a donation last year _ six years after the 1998 meeting.

Berger, who was at the meeting, said: ``The president strongly raised the need for Saudi officials to cooperate with us on the investigation into the attack on Khobar Towers at the time when the FBI was attempting to gain access to the suspects. The president did not raise in any fashion the issue of his library.''

Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said he told CBS's Mike Wallace that he had supportive accounts from five other former officials at the meeting, including those briefed about a private conversation between Clinton and Abdullah.

``The fair journalistic question is why they didn't call and get comments for their story from people who were in the room, such as Sandy Berger, and why they took until Friday afternoon to get that done,'' said Lanny Davis, a former White House lawyer, who tried to persuade ''60 Minutes'' producer Jeff Fager to allow him or another Clinton spokesman to appear on Sunday night's segment.

Carson, who called the Freeh book ``a total work of fiction.''

Wanna talk about Rove and whats about to happen to him this week? Looks like the real guy running the country is in some deep do do for outing the cia wife of a guy who told Rove something he didint like about uranium in Niger. Yeah, but thats just another withchunt right, Wayeno. Not as serious as that 70 million dollar blow job.

Your tunnel vision is laughable.

[djv]

Those liberal press dudes saying now this could be 50% fiction. I wonder witch part. Did he ever get fired by Clinton or Bush? That would explain a lot.

No Edward your Spin is laughable--70 million blowjob--The investigation initially was not even about Monica it was about Jones and Flowers (who he paid off to drop charges) Monica was found in process, He should have stuck to the "I don't recall" rather than lying about things that could be forensically proven otherwise..Then there was white water-travelgate-china gate ect cost to tax payor--you must have missed 60 minutes.
My question is it being a personal injury attorney or liberal stance that interprets crime as not the act but why they did it. If I'm not mistaken he wasn't charged for the BJ --but for being serial liar.

60 minute thing was interesting but not a lot new.However was one high-light that was replay of him telling the the world how he would do everything in his power to bring those responsible for tower fiasco to justice---however we find his true motives were quite diff----He got his contribution to his library fund--and it took GW to hold them accountable his 1st year in office.

Basiacally about scandal ridden president--who was more concerned with pocketing funds--then justice or defending country--with coupe de grace coming on last minute pardons for cash.
Bottom line--terrorism runs rampant and he went from taxible earnings of $34,000 in to multi-millionaire AFTER paying millions in legal aide--the word ultimate "grifter" come to mind.

As far as Rove--I didn't think there would be indictment but not so sure now--if so far cry from conviction--but to be fair I have found 1 "I don't recall" so far in his testimony.

Maybe you would like to list"factual" indictments and convictions of this admin vs last???-I didn't think so--much esiaer to spin the opinions

 

[djv]

So this guy is ticked off because he was busy investigating the guy that gave him the job. Well it was Reb's that asked fo reverythng big or small to be looked at. Then he gets pissed because he cant get out of congress what he needs in 1998. Guess who was in charge of congress dude in 1998. The Reb's. He sounds like one of those guys that believes it's everyones fault but his own he's always right. At least thats how it came across on 60 miniutes. He tried so hard no one would listen. Ya Right.

One thing is for sure ...you seldom watch sports or dont understand what your seeing and havent a clue about playoff formats ,we also know what you do say about them is 100 % incorrect so all in all Wayne if Eddie is consistent I would say reality is something closer to this :

1. You probably watch CNN and Fox and possibly others (Local news )and probably do get both sides of the story.

2. Your Probably a sane and productive person that just dosent believe in hand outs and wants to see people pick themselves up by their own bootstraps and you do all this while you remain devoted to your religion which not only makes you stronger of mind and faith but teaches good morals.

 

[Marco]

"....while you remain devoted to your religion which not only makes you stronger of mind and faith but teaches good morals."

So religious people have some sort of monopoly on morality?

Good thing we have religion on this planet so guys can write suicide notes claiming how religiously correct thier actions are and what kind of glorious place they are going to go with 72 virgins before they hijack an airliner and fly it into a skyscraper.

So much for religion having a stranglehold on morality.

I'll settle for something simple like living next to people who respect other people's rights and property.

Responsibility doesn't require religion to be in effect.
