Does it ever seem as if, whenever 60 Minutes needs a rating boost, they do a Bill Clinton-scandal story?
At any rate, get ready for another such segment. Former Clinton Administration FBI Director Louis J. Freeh is promoting his new book My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror (St. Martin’s Press 2005), and this Washington Post article indicates that his 60 Minutes interview with Mike Wallace will be a general hammering session on former President Clinton:

Former FBI director Louis J. Freeh has denounced Bill Clinton over the scandals that marred his presidency and for his record on terrorism, saying the level of distrust was so great that he stayed in his post so Clinton could not appoint his successor.
In a forthcoming book and “60 Minutes” interview, Freeh, whose strained relations with Clinton were no secret, says he was so determined to distance himself from Clinton that he sent back a White House pass so that all his visits would be deemed official. This, he said, antagonized Clinton.

The WaPo report triggered the crack Clinton Scandal Response Team into action:

Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said last night: “This is clearly a total work of fiction by a man who’s desperate to clear his name and sell books, and it’s unfortunate he’d stoop to this level in his attempt to rewrite history.” He noted Freeh contributed nearly $20,000 to Republicans, including President Bush, in the last campaign.

Gosh, seems like old times, eh? In fairness to the Clintonites, Mr. Freeh’s tenure at the FBI is not without its bipartisan critics.
