"“The guy saw me in almost a dozen settings, and joked with me about a bunch of things, including details of my kids"
Anyone who knows "details" about another person's kids is certainly paying attention for SOME reason. Either that, or they KNOW them.
(And not in the biblical sense either).
Don't worry though, all the evidence is being shredded as we speak. Whistleblowers from Jeb Bush's office claims he has his Texas partners in the governors office shredding documents on Abramoff and Kidan's business dealings with Sun Cruz casinos and it's former owner (now the very dead) Gus Boulis.
