Roger Reaves' book was incredible....I remember thinking some of this has to be fiction, no way this many fantastic and improbable things could be true.

Regardless if it is all true or not it is fascinating and a very fun read.

Six rounds from a .45 or 9mm shouldn’t have “chopped him in half”.

Dude are you related to the Clintons


No, I went to school with his brother Roger, I didn’t care for him.

We had an old psychology teacher who said she believed that Clinton was going to be president someday, I guess she saw something in him in high school that impressed her. I never met him but my uncle and him were friends in school.

His hero was JFK so it’s no surprise he liked to chase tail.

There's no way that a political nothing like Clinton could be pushed to the front of the line without institutional help from the deep state.

Clinton was a rare talent. He pushed his way to the front.

Clinton was a rare talent. He pushed his way to the front. That’s why his wife could not replicate it; she was not the talent he was.

That or he had dirt on him and was forced to.

In Tom O’Neill’s book, Chaos, Vincent Bugliosi was leveraged to turn the Manson case into a circus because he was obsessed with a milk man he thought fathered one of his kids.

That book is all about control.

Clark, - You seem to know interesting details about this event. Do you know if the record of that event is still under seal?
People can downvote all day long, but you are the one who has accurately put out the most informed detail. Seal even made a comment that he would rather die than go back into protection.

I haven’t seen former US Attorney Bardwell’s name mentioned. After Seal was killed, I seem to remember him being spirited out of town and into to some DOJ job in DC.

A FBI agent and my self went to interview him.

I couldn't let the feds search the room without a warrant

The GM sent me with them to inventory the room.


Your imagination is playing tricks on you here, man. There is zero chance what you say here is true. ZERO. You told the Feds they couldn’t go into the room and their answer was…”ok. You’re the one with the power here Mr. Hotel Manager/part time attorney”. And no fricking way they let you go into the room with them. Jeez, man.

Being a good politician does not equate to being intelligent. You just need to be a good liar and an amoral sleaze. Of which he was both.
