Why'd Andy Pick Clinton Foe?


November 27, 2006 -- HAS Andrew Cuomo had a falling-out with Bill and Hillary Clinton? The state attorney general-elect ruffled some feathers last week when he put former FBI Director Louis Freeh on his transition committee.

Though Freeh was appointed the top G-man by President Clinton in 1993, he became Clinton's nemesis as he ended up with responsibility for investigations including the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky affairs.

In his 2005 memoir, "My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Fighting the War on Terror," Freeh complained:

"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." ....

1. Payback: The Clinton's backed Cuomo's primary foe when he ran for NY governor
a few years ago.

3. Look at this statement:
"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."

Within it there doesn't have to be a single actual scandal, investigating "rumored scandals" could fill up his entire agenda and he was either too stupid or too corrupt to look at their source.
Exactly where are those skeletons just waiting to burst out?

4. Louis Freeh?
Why isn't the treasonous little bastard in jail yet? Obscruction of justice, leaking of secret information for political gain & use of federal personnel in political campaigns isn't enough anymore? Sick little man should be glad he lives in New York, where apparently there is no honor.

5. Exactly!
Wasn't thrilled with Cuomo being the dem candidate and this makes me even less confident about him having the position.
