Apparently former FBI director Louis Freeh is preparing for a return to the limelight by, like too many '90s-era Republicans, writing a book trashing Bill Clinton.
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." <…> 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 interview, according to excerpts released Thursday.
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. 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."
It seems to me there any number of ways to go about responding to Freeh's claims. First, you could point out that Freeh is a partisan Republican, who donated nearly $20,000 to the GOP, including Bush, in the last campaign. Second, you could note that in many instances, Freeh just doesn't know what he's talking about.
Third, you might take note of the fact that, by Freeh's own argument, he let a sex scandal distract him from real law enforcement work. Fourth, you could take note of the fact that Freeh was helplessly, almost shockingly, incompetent at the FBI, which brings some of his criticisms into question now.
