Pellicano’s Cleaning Services
What sorts of services did Anthony Pellicano really provide for his clients that gave him such a Teflon shield to any real scrutiny for over the past two decades?
Well, besides creating false paranoia in the little boys’ club that is the Hollywood elite to make himself seem indispensable, Pellicano could also make messy things wash away better than Chlorox on soiled underwear. He sure helped the federal government get rid of those pesky conspiracy theorists for the JFK assassination. Being an equal opportunity employee, he also testified that that crucial 18.5 minutes of the Watergate tapes were “accidentally” erased by Nixon’s secretary. Pellicano literally wiped away a portion of the FBI’s tape of Delorean making that drug deal, according to a lead prosecutor on the case. He cleaned up the messy situation with that secretary for Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer and the poor woman hasn’t talked to anyone since. He was involved in the Heidi Fleiss scandal and has anyone ever really seen that oft-mentioned little black book since then? He also was superb at thoroughly confusing everyone as to what really happened with the O.J. Simpson case. Pellicano got rather heavy handed with the Michael Jackson sexual abuse scandal, but then MJ didn’t have to flee to Bahrain after that one and sell his Beatle’s catalogue. Some critical evidence seemed to have vanished for the prosecutor’s case back in 1993 with Pellicano’s assistance. He tidied up again for Jerry Bruckheimer after Don Simpson’s excesses caused both the death of his live-in friend and his own. He sure scrubbed down bimbo-gate, and if Monica hadn’t had that stained blue dress nothing might really have come of it. John Gordon Jones, the serial date rapist, got off a free man and the women are still reluctant to talk about their ordeal today. Finally, how many rumors were there that Tom Cruise was gay which vanished into thin air? This list could keep on going, but I’m catching that some of the reading audience here is beginning to nod off.
So Pellicano had a sanitizing service of sorts in addition to his wiretapping enterprise. He could bring in his cleaning crew anytime and anyplace to make sure things were left spotless for his clients. He’d use blackmail, extortion, and his numerous media and law enforcement contacts as well as just about anything necessary in addition to his wiretapping expertise to ensure that many crimes saw as little daylight as possible.
What ever happened to the victims of those crimes that Pellicano so assiduously cleaned? Does anyone really care anymore or is it just more fun to watch the mighty as they tumble from grace?
