FBI: Freeh's Recommendation to Probe Chinagate Stands
FBI Director Louis Freeh has no plans to publicly alter his 1998
recommendation for a thorough investigation into the Clinton-Gore
Asian money scandal now that John Ashcroft has been sworn in as
attorney general, a bureau spokesman said Friday.
"The director made his recommendation at the time," FBI
spokesman Bill Carter told NewsMax.com. "And that pretty much - I
would refer you to the attorney general's people on whether
there's going to be a request for any further recommendations in
that regard."
Carter said Freeh confirmed his advice to former Attorney
General Janet Reno to appoint a Chinagate independent counsel
only because the news had leaked to the press.
"The director did make a recommendation to [Reno]. We're not
disputing what is out there." But if Freeh has any further advice
on the scandal for Attorney General Ashcroft, it would remain
confidential, Carter said.
On Thursday former Justice Department campaign finance task
force chief Charles LaBella told NewsMax.com that further
investigation of the Asian money scandal would be "irrelevant."
"I think the decision has already been made and everybody's
moved on," LaBella added.
LaBella's comments represented something of a reversal of his
previous advice to Reno backing the appointment of an independent
counsel to thoroughly probe Chinagate.
Reno overruled both LaBella and Freeh, declining to appoint an
outside investigator despite what legal experts said was a
mountain of evidence justifying such a probe.
In what sounded a slap at Reno's stonewalling on the Asian money
scandal, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott praised Ashcroft late
Thursday, saying, "He will enforce the laws, some laws that have
been ignored the last eight years."
