...persuade her to sign what she maintains is a false affidavit about their relationship. She'll be spending more time with investigators Thursday, but it's still a long way from here to an indictment for obstructing justice or suborning perjury. For one thing, it's extraordinarily difficult to nail someone for a cover-up when there's no evidence he was involved in the underlying crime - assuming, of course, that there was a crime...

This I understand. When my beloved Washington Redskins made it to the Super Bowl in 1992, I was in Moscow and the Russian networks weren't showing the game. I called my father who, before he went out to watch the contest with friends, hammered a nail in the wall next to the kitchen radio and hung the receiver.
