You're quite welcome!
Volley bump!
Dang! I knew about Morgan, but I always kind of liked Dana Delany. Oh well.
I wonder if what Paul knows ties into Kerry covering up for Clark Clifford's role in BCCI.
The senator was then chairman of the Senate subcommittee investigating the Bank of Credit and Commerce International and other S&Ls. Bank execs and associates gave more than $30,000 to the DSCC, earning Paul recognition at the `88 DNC in Atlanta.
Remember too that BCCI was associated with Bert Lance and
Jimma Carter and Iran also.
Well, you gotta realize that that was back before being a queer was cool. Maybe Kerry is feeling more comfortable being a girlyman these days.
Thanks for the link! BTW a possibly-relevant fact about Clifford is that he used to be John F. Kennedy's lawyer--I have to wonder if Kerry's relationship with Ted Kennedy figures in there.

Thank you so much for that insight! Indeed, the Democrat party reads like a "good old boys club" most of the time.
If he is the first 'David Paul', he gets out on Monday.
If not, he didn't serve much of his 11 year sentence.

David Paul, a co-conspirator of Pharaon's in the Miami case, was convicted and,
in November of 1994, was sentenced to serve 11 years in prison and
ordered to pay restitution of $65 million and a fine of $5 million.

I think if one is serving time in a half way house, that is not categorized as "released". Not until they actually complete their sentence (or are paroled) would it be noted as "released". But... I don't know that to be fact.
The timing is indeed interesting. As you said, the plot thickens.
CORCORAN, THE MASTER FIXER (& WHO IS SENATOR X?)
Super Tuesday is history. U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts knows that he is the Democratic party's main man.
So can David McKean, Chief of Staff to Senator X and author of a new book on Washington insider Thomas G. Corcoran (Tommy the Cork: Washington's Ultimate Insider from Roosevelt to Reagan, Steerforth Press), now reveal who Senator X is?
The answer is no. The Senate Ethics Committee has asked McKean to withhold the name of Senator X in promoting his book "so as not to create the appearance of using his position in the U.S. government for commercial purposes".
The question is, does the public have a right to know who Senator X is, since Senator X could possibly be the next U.S. president? Getting to the bottom of this seems even more urgent considering what McKean has chosen for the book's themes.
[SNIP]
McKean, has, in fact, has already played a historic role in sorting out the country's financial woes, serving as Investigative Counsel to Senator X on BCCI, with Corcoran's chief rival, Clark Clifford, the star witness.
[SNIP]
However, when Corcoran made the decision to leave government in the 1940s to start a family and make a quick million dollars, McKean shows the golden glow fade. Corcoran would double as lobbyist for United Fruit and point man in helping to overthrow President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman's Guatemalan government following Arbenz's introduction of land reforms in the 1950s.
In promoting China's Chiang Kai-shek, he would develop a cozy relationship with the CIA (Dulles brothers, Frank Wisner, et al.), which used the fleet of planes Corcoran owned jointly with General Claire Chennault and others -- Civil Air Transport -- for special missions into China and Vietnam. [For enlightenment on these missions, see: Linda Minor's: "Follow The Yellow Brick Road" in Scoop's archives.]
[SNIP]
While Clifford was JFK's man (that's John Fitzgerald Kennedy not John Forbes Kerry), Corcoran was Lyndon Johnson's, first introducing him to FDR and later counseling him to run with Kennedy as vice president in 1960. McKean says Eleanor Roosevelt thought Corcoran was a sexist. And that Bobby Kennedy didn't like him.
Note I'd add to the above: this author describes Corcoran as Lyndon Johnson's man, which was one aspect of his career, but earlier he had also been Joseph Kennedy's ally on the SEC (despite not liking Kennedy personally) and later his lawyer. There's a big story here to be pieced together, I suspect.
Yeah, seven years in a halfway house would be awfully long for someone in their sixties.
Come see what I found! :-)
One is under the Federal Bureau of Prison's custody until released from Halfway House or House Arrest (bracelet) and then they go to Supervised Release (probation). There is no parole in the Fed Pokey anymore except for those convicted for crimes committed prior to the 1987 Congressional Sentencing Guidelines.
Supervised Release is governed by the Judge's wing of Probationary and Pre-Sentencing Services and is quite distinct from the Bureau of Prisons...a bit more uptown if you will.
NP, I remember Paul well from my Miami days....big shot who fell with BCCI along with scores of other folks. He was very ostentatious and nouveau.
Thanks for the clarification!
I remembered the change to 'no parole', but didn't know it applied to post-1987 cases
(I incorrectly thought it was later than that.)
Thanks for your INSIDE INFORMATION re Paul. Very interesting.
