It isn’t the police who make the decision. It’s the Attorney General. Troopers went out to his residence on a Friday afternoon around 4:00pm. He flew out of Boston the next morning. It was reported in the Boston Globe a day or so later.
Now how obvious they were when they drove up the driveway, I don’t know. He must have known they were coming. My understanding was the first-class ticket on Al Italia was purchased shortly before he was to travel and cost a lot.
ok - so what I’m wondering is, what were the papers for?
Were they trying to arrest him?
Was the trip to avoid arrest?
And if so - was the Vatican aware of this?
Was there ever a request to send his sorry a$$ home?
Do you have a reference to that?
Not that I don’t take you at your word, but we wouldn’t want to bear false witness, now would we?
