Surprise, Surprise
I know you'll find this hard to imagine, but Louis Freeh says that the Clintons' closets were full of skeletons. And in this case, it's probably not just a figure of speech.
What do you do when you're the FBI director for a president so corrupt? I would have stepped down, and said why. It certainly would have done the country a service to know at the time (of coure, much of it prefers to remain in denial now). It's hard to work up much admiration for him at this point (particularly seeing what a mess he left the FBI in, including his aversion to computers and technology). But at least this might be one more wrench in the spokes of Hillary's candidacy.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Oh, I hadn't read this part:
Freeh says he was determined to stay on as FBI director until President Clinton left office so that Clinton could not appoint his successor. “I was concerned about who he would put in there as FBI director because he had expressed antipathy for the FBI, for the director,” he tells Wallace. “[So] I was going to stay there and make sure he couldn’t replace me,” Freeh tells Wallace.
But, hey, no worry, he's just part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, right? It goes all the way up to the head of the FBI, don't you know?
