The L.A.Times reports:
The outlines of Pellicano's long shadow are now emerging in an unfolding federal investigation in which the private detective and 12 others have been indicted on various charges of wiretapping, bribery and witness tampering. The private investigator has pleaded not guilty and been denied bail.
As names of grand jury witnesses, a subject of interest and those who were allegedly wiretapped surface, the complex web of those touched by Pellicano conjures up a not-so-distant period in which Hollywood, never the most peaceable kingdom, was embroiled in especially bitter feuds.
For years, Pellicano bragged loudly about his vast insider knowledge, and it helped make him a player in this world. He and Universal Studios President Ron Meyer, whose wife once worked as an office assistant for the private eye, power-lunched together, according to a source close to Meyer. Meyer and his wife declined to comment. Paramount Chairman Brad Grey, then a top talent manager, attempted to develop an HBO pilot with Pellicano about a Hollywood detective, according to several sources and a representative for Grey. Paparazzi snapped his photo with stars, and magazines and newspapers, including this one, wrote colorful stories about his exploits.
It amazing that in this long article on the exploits of Pellicano,there's no mention of Bill Clinton's connection to Pellicano.Here's
WorldNetDaily's take on the situation:
In the January 1992 issue of GQ magazine, Pellicano boasted of the dirty work he had performed for his clients, including blackmail and physical assault. He claimed to have beaten one of his client's enemies with a baseball bat. "I'm an expert with a knife," said Pellicano. "I can shred your face with a knife."
While we know Pellicano was deeply involved in Clinton damage-control operations – including efforts to discredit former Clinton lovers Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky, much of his work during that era remains secret.
When is the L.A. Times going to report on the connection between Pellicano and the Clintons?
