Slow Saturday Special: No Freehdom in Vermont

It's bed-ridden:

"Former FBI director grateful for care after crash" Associated Press   August 30, 2014

MONTPELIER — Former FBI director Louis Freeh said Friday he was grateful for the care and support he has received since he was injured this week in a Vermont car crash.

Freeh issued a statement through the office of US Senator Patrick Leahy after the Vermont senator visited Freeh in the hospital. The two have been friends for years.

In the statement, Freeh thanked a number of officials including Vice President Joe Biden and FBI Director James Comey. He also thanked FBI agents and employees.

‘‘From the very first moments of the accident to the present, their devotion, vigilance and prayers have sustained me and my family,’’ said the 64-year-old Freeh. ‘‘I have the greatest respect and affection for them and their families.’’

Former FBI director Louis Freeh, 64, was seriously injured in a single-car crash in Vermont on Monday, authorities said. State Police said Freeh was taken by helicopter to a New Hampshire hospital with serious injuries following the crash in Barnard, a town about 90 miles northwest of Boston. Freeh apparently drove his SUV off the road shortly after midday and struck a mailbox and a row of shrubs before coming to a stop at a tree, State Police said. He was wearing his seat belt. The cause of the crash was under investigation, police said. No one else was hurt." 

Is it karma or something more conspiratorial? The man must know a lot of secrets. 

Or was he just texting at the wheel?
