Troopergate was a complete Fabrication
Louis Freeh is going against Bill Clinton and bringing back all of the scandals.

You can tell that they are getting desperate now!
:D

He just had to bring back Troopergate as one of these scandals.

However, David Brock later admitted that Troopergate was a total Fabrication and the Troopers who were part of this scandal were paid to say the things that they did.

1. The real troopergate is when Jeb used Florida State Highway Patrol
Officers to blockade the roads to voting precincts in predominantly black areas in North Florida in 2000.

2. Freeh has major blood on his hands
While virtually the entire rest of the government was chasing Osama under Clinton he was chasing Clinton. He was so busy chasing Clinton that a high ranking official of his, in charge of investigating espianoge by Russia was instead working for Russia. Freeh was close to a traitor.

5. Here you go
In 1998, a conservative fundraiser admitted that he had paid the troopers $6,700 each after the articles were published. Following this admission, reporter David Brock publicly apologized to President Clinton for his Troopergate story, which he stated was written not "in the interest of good government or serious journalism," but as part of an "anti-Clinton crusade". <1> (http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2001/jul/010702.brock.html) In March 2005, trooper Patterson was convicted of lying to the FBI about an unrelated incident. <2> (http://www.ardemgaz.com/ShowStoryTemplate.asp?Path=ArDemocrat/2005/03/11&ID=Ar01901&Section=Arkansas)

8. "Blinded By The Right" - a good book, by David Brock
He was in on it, then realised what horrible people he worked for. He became a Human Being the day he started writing that book.
