"And in an excellent column in the New York Press, Christopher Caldwell sheds light on a few items of interest that have escaped widespread attention. He details the "Mafia-like relationship that Condit has with his top staffers, particularly Mike Lynch in his Modesto office and Mike Dayton in Washington, both of whom could now face charges for obstruction of justice." Caldwell reports it was Dayton who drove Condit to Alexandria to junk the watch from his ex-girlfriend/adulterer, Joleen McKay. and more interesting, "Dayton seems to have procured McKay for Condit in the first place. Dayton and McKay had a relationship in college, and Dayton introduced her to his boss by arranging for the three of them to go out for dinner, and then not showing up."
