Anthony Pellicano and the Chicago Mob

Since Anthony Pellicano has been in the news because he's been charged with more crimes,it's important to look at the background of Pellicano.Luke Ford reports:
In 1969, he set up his own business as a private detective. He found several publicized missing persons and became a celebrity in Chicago. He worked for the government. He loved publicity. He "drove a huge Lincoln Continental, hung Samurai swords in his office, and sealed his letters with monogrammed wax." (Dish, pg. 276)

In 1974, Pellicano declared bankruptcy. His filing revealed he'd borrowed $30,000 from Paul "The Waiter" de Lucia, the son of a reputed mobster. "Paul de Lucia is my daughter's godfather," Pellicano said. "He's just like any other guy in the neighborhood."
If Hillary Clinton runs for President you can be sure Anthony Pellicano's name will come up.Exactly what was the relationship between Pellicano and the Clinton's?
