I'm probably the first one who brought up the ex-brother-in-law (X-BIL). Remember, you didn't know what x-bil meant. Besides, the media would have uncovered that he was in the military. They didn't because he wasn't. I doubt very seriously given the sensationalism involved, that the media would have seen fit to sweep an AWOL charge under the carpet like they did for Clinton.
I pondered that too... and THAT seems more likely..but we'll see I suppose.
