You are welcome. If you ever have the chance read "Senatorial Privilege" by Leo Damore. It's an excellent book about the whole sordid mess.
To: A.A. Cunningham
Thanks again. I just might look for that book. A sordid mess, indeed. I despise Edward M. Some say he got away with murder. He got away with negligent homicide at the very least.
