"Freeh is widely seen by the Democrats as grandstanding and being far too political for that job," says a congressional Democratic staff member. But Freeh associates insist he has no ulterior motive. "He's just giving an award to Chuck LaBella, a person he admires, for a job well done," says an aide.
