More Grade A Freeh Bashing: Advance word on Arch-Failure Louis Freeh’s new book apparently has Freeh complaining that it was hard for him to get anything done because Bill Clinton, the president and his nominal boss, was such a source of scandal and bad acts.
Drudge quotes him saying: “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.”
Aren’t there some logical problems with this excuse making?
How is it that Bill Clinton was such a bad actor that Freeh couldn’t get anything else done because he had to spend so much investigating him and yet Freeh never caught him doing anything? Which of Clinton’s associates did Freeh indict?
Think about it. Either Freeh is just as big a buck-passer and liar as we think or he is a self-confessed incompetent. It’s genuinely funny.
Even if you want to consider Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky as a legitimate legal bad act, Freeh didn’t have anything to do with catching him on that one. Give the credit where it’s due: that was the work of Republican political operatives.
Can’t Freeh keep himself busy as chief bill collector for the credit card companies?
