Did Condit not sneaked around in some McDonald’s garbage cans, I can’t remember exactly???
Looking for a watch, maybe. Yes you remember.

“……About three hours before police started to search his apartment, the congressman and one of his top aides, Michael Dayton, drove to Alexandria in Dayton's black Volkswagen Jetta.
About 8 p.m., the Jetta pulled up to the curb at Route 1 and Vernon Street, near a McDonald's. Daniel Olson, a law firm temp who lived in the neighborhood, was driving home when he saw a man he recognized as Condit step out of the passenger side of the car. He watched Condit stroll over to a trash can, push something deep inside and return to the Jetta, which pulled away.
Olson was intrigued. He would later tell police that he walked over to the trash can and looked in. He saw a little black square, the size of a computer disk, and pulled it out. It was a black cardboard box for a Tag Heuer watch. The box was torn and flattened. Inside, Olson found a manual and a warranty, but no watch. He brought the box to his apartment and showed it to his roommates.
The next day, Olson tossed it back into the same trash can and went to work, where a colleague who once worked for the Baltimore Police Department urged him to call the D.C. police. Detective Lawrence Kennedy drove to Alexandria and retrieved the box, the manual and the warranty. Police determined that the box had contained a watch that Joleen Argentini McKay, a former member of Condit's congressional staff, gave to him.
Today, Condit says the watch box incident was the result of a misunderstanding. He said police and tabloid reporters were going through his garbage, and he merely wanted to preserve his privacy. "They're saying a woman gave me a watch and I threw the watch box away," he said recently. "Even if that's true, so? What's that? What does that mean? It was nothing." ………”

”......BARBARA OLSON, FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR:
Well, if you look at the fact that the Democratic leadership is now turning on him, it makes it very difficult. Gray Davis is going to be doing redistricting. He's not going to have that conservative Democratic district that overwhelmingly reelected him. Everyone's saying they're going to add some more liberal Democrats, so it's not likely, even, that he would make it through a primary, which I think he'll see the writing on the wall.
I expect, over next two weeks, senior members of his party will come. They're going to have a caucus next Wednesday when they come back in. I think it will be very quiet, but I think he'll get the message that he doesn't have the support of his party………….
“……….LARRY KING:
All right. Let's take it first things first. Barbara and Nancy, your response? Where is the watch?
NANCY GRACE:
Well, I doubt very seriously that Chandra would have been wearing the watch. Reason -- not because it wasn't a very expensive watch, which, by all accounts, it was. But that was a watch given to him by another woman. And I guarantee you Chandra Levy, from the little I know about her, is not going to be sporting a gift from her boyfriend from his old lover, OK?
LARRY KING:
You add anything, Barbara?
BABARA OLSON:
I was just going to say, tomorrow night I'm assuming we're going to get some answers. Mike Dayton, we all know, Gary Condit was driven by staff, you're right. He crossed lines. And now Gary Condit says he was just throwing trash away. Instead of putting it in his garbage can, where no one would notice, he decided to take it into Virginia and throw it away inside a McDonald's french fry box. You're right, it's very curious. But some staff was there. Maybe they can throw some light on that, as well as -- since Mike Dayton is the one who introduced Joleen McKay to Gary Condit and actually set up their first date……………”
