As I pointed out recently, big shots like Hillary Clinton and Jeff Bezos tend to believe in conspiracy theories, at least when it comes to theories they’ve posited about vast right-wing conspiracies out to get them.

One reason big shots tend to be conspiracy theorists is because they can afford to employ shadowy figures, such as private detective Anthony Pellicano, whom Bill and Hill employed in 1992 to smear Gennifer Flowers.

NOTE: As iSteve commenter Bragadocious points out, it’s quite possible that the widely reported allegation that the Clintons hired audio expert Anthony Pellicano to review Gennifer Flowers’ tapes may be due to confusion with them their hiring private eye Jack Palladino, to do something in connection with their Bimbo Eruptions. Pellicano was used publicly by a TV station to comment on the authenticity of Gennifer Flowers’ tapes. Also, the Pellicano’s main Hollywood connections (e.g., Brad Grey) don’t seem to match up well with the Clintons’ main connections (e.g., Harvey Weinstein). On the other hand, the New York Post reported that Pellicano was also hired six years later in the Monica Lewinsky to-do. S0, I’m going to leave this up with this note.

Pellicano has hundreds of hours of wiretaps of famous people’s phone calls, but he never gave up the password to his digitized files to the Feds. He did his time, I think totalling about 13 years, and is now a free man.
