New York Times<\/i> op-ed on day of Comey\u2019s confirmation hearing<\/a>) presided over a cover-up \u2026\u201d<\/p>\nIn her interview, Rowley noted: \u201cThe FBI and all the other officials claimed that there were no clues, that they had no warning [about 9\/11] etc., and that was not the case. There had been all kinds of memos and intelligence coming in. I actually had a chance to meet Director Mueller personally the night before I testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee \u2026 [he was] trying to get us on his side, on the FBI side, so that we wouldn\u2019t say anything terribly embarrassing. \u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you had the lead-up to the Iraq War \u2026 Mueller and, of course, the CIA and all the other directors, saluted smartly and went along with what Bush wanted, which was to gin up the intelligence to make a pretext for the Iraq War. For instance, in the case of the FBI, they actually had a receipt, and other documentary proof, that one of the hijackers, Mohamed Atta, had not been in Prague, as Dick Cheney was alleging. And yet those directors more or less kept quiet. That included \u2026 CIA, FBI, Mueller, and it included also the deputy attorney general at the time, James Comey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rowley also noted that Mueller presided over \u201cthe \u2018post 9-11 round-up\u2019 of innocent immigrants, the anthrax investigation fiasco, as well as going along with a form of martial law (made possible via secret OLC [Office of Legal Counsel] memos written by John Yoo etc. predicated upon Yoo\u2019s theories of absolute \u2018imperial presidency\u2019 or \u2018war presidency\u2019 powers that the Bush administration was making [Attorney General John] Ashcroft sign off on).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile not the worst of the bunch, neither Comey nor Mueller deserve their Jimmy Stewart \u2018G-man\u2019 reputations for absolute integrity but have merely been, along the lines of George \u2018Slam Dunk\u2019 Tenet, capable and flexible politicized sycophants to power, that enmeshed them in numerous wrongful abuses of power along with presiding over plain official incompetence. It\u2019s sad that political partisanship is so blinding and that so few people remember the actual sordid history.\u201d<\/p>\n
