It's sort of OT to the book, but a snippet from my old files:
Fled or plead:
You may recall that a few years ago Judge Freeh was queried about the startling number of witnesses connected with Clinton's scandals either "fleeing the country or plea-ing ( taking the 5th )" and he was specifically asked if he'd ever seen such a thing before?
I'll never forget his answer ( paraphrased ):
"It's very common in cases involving organized crime..."
WOW I don't recall hearing that GEM!! Organized crime is so right. I once read that Clinton got into office in Arksas via the Southern Mafia or SOMETHING Mafia. I can't quite remember the exact word. Anyway, it had to do with a southern state group of Mafia types.
