Sure it could have been a setup in theory, but from my POV, there was nothing to indicate that Bush suffered from this itty bitty scandal. It just went away. Another explanation is that this guy gets in the WH as a warning "we can get to you. Watch it."
Sort of like keeping a leash on Clinton with Monica Lewinsky. Reagan was compromised more forcefully. Even LBJ showed signs of not being totally in the loop.
Albert, If you read Compromised: Clinton, Bush, and the CIA by Terry Reed, they had a lot more on him than Lewinsky. If Reed is telling the truth, and the book seems to be consistent with other information, he was in on the CIA financial corruption with their state bond issuing fund, illegal gun manufacturing and gun running, and the drug running into Mena, AR. Drugs, weapons, and financial money laundering -- the modern triangle trade. Clinton was in it with the CIA up to his eyeballs. So much for being progressive Democrat.

Great book Lauren. One that kept me up all night reading, could not put it down in 98 or so when I got it. Required reading to understand that there is not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties on certain issues, like CIA drug dealing, especially. . (But differences on social issues like abortion, controlling women in general. )
Also the stuff about Poppy Bush is way worse than prostitutes. It was headlines in the early 90's in the Washington Times. Franklin Coverup. Young sex slaves. (I am missing Jan right now!!!!! He is the forum expert on matters of this grave nature since he personally investigated a lot of it. )
Bush crime syndicate.
