Matt Drudge has some juicy details on an upcoming “60 Minutes” interview (coming up this Sunday after NFL on CBS football) with former FBI Directer Louis Freeh. Freeh, plugging his upcoming book, My FBI : Bringing down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror, gave interviewer Mike Wallace 4 tidbits on his and the FBI’s dealings with former President Bill Clinton:
- Freeh refused a White House pass that would have allowed him to enter the building without signing in, wanting every visit to be “official”.
- Clinton refused to ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question suspects in the Khobar Towers bombings that the Saudis had captured, instead asking for a donation to the Clinton Presidential Library.
- There’s a rather unsavory detail from the Lewinsky matter I won’t go into here.
- Freeh ended up bound and determined to not let Clinton name another FBI director.
Looks like I found some new reading material, and I’ll be watching CBS for something other than football for the first time in ages.
