So what happened? Did this just go away? Is this guy the luckiest man in the world or what? |
Guess it depends on your definition of "lucky" and what you think really happened.
Nobody ever came up with any evidence that Condit did anything beyond having a stupid affair and trying to hide it during a police investigation. He certainly wasn't the first politician to play around with the interns nor the first to try to deny it (for personal or political reasons, or both) under circumstances where there was a legal obligation to be forthright. The penalty that he paid was getting booted from office at the next election, having both of his kids kicked out of cushy government jobs (one of whom, I believe, is doing hard time for his own problems), having his marriage dragged publicly through the muck, being ostrasied by every politician and associate that he had developed on his way to power, and generally having everybody in the country believe that he is a murderer.
I don't feel particularly sorry for the guy, but I wouldn't call it "lucky" either.
And remember, the statute of limitations doesn't apply to murder. If they find evidence that he did it, they can still get him.
