I would argue that sid vicious was but a tool, a minion, acting on a leash at the direction of higher ups. He was given crumbs if you will.
Think of a Leatherman. A Leatherman is a very well crafted multipurpose tool of quality stainless steel that can carried in a well crafted leather case on one’s belt.
The owner keeps it in the case except as needed
Your observations are interesting.....but Sid had to show a little get-up-and-go if he wanted to work for the multi-tasked Clintons.
Sid had a lot of irons in the fire....his own and the Clintons
