Freeh

What Yglesias says:

Bush decided terrorism was less important than missile defense, Ashcroft thought he'd rather focus on traditional law enforcement, but Freeh's priority was pleasing his congressional GOP patrons by dedicating time and attention to investigations of Clinton administration pseudo-scandals.


Freeh was incompetent and he covered his ass by pleasing the media and the Republicans by feeding them a constant stream of faux scandals. I'm shocked that there are Republicans out there who don't understand that any Democrat who has been paying attention hates Freeh as much or more than anyone. Freeh is going to be partisan alright - he's going to do his best to torpedo the Clinton administration's reputation one last time in order to try and save his own miserable skin. The Democrats on the commission had better realize that he is not on their side.
