Mario, Here you go. Some of these are links that I had already posted, but the original link had magically vanished and I had to go searching for another source. Most are new or the link to the original article that was being quoted. I'm having a problem obtaining the original GQ, Vanity Fair and Playboy articles on Pellicano because only Vanity Fair has recently started to digitally compile an archive which still isn't open to the public. If you or anyone has access to older issues of any of these magazines, please tell me as it would greatly speed rounding out the information that's presented on the website. For what it's worth: http://www.bigcrime.com/images/pellicano.htm November 13, 2003 More than a year before FBI agents raided Anthony Pellicano's offices in West Hollywood, the FBI was focusing on Pellicano long before a botched attempt to intimidate a Los Angeles Times reporter last year drew attention to the private investigator and the prominent lawyers who have employed him. In at least one case stemming from a dispute over control of a $40-million Internet business, the FBI was told in 2001 that Pellicano had secretly recorded one of their Los Angeles agents. The case which dated back more than two years.pitted Daniel and Abner Nicherie against Ami Shafrir in a complicated business dispute over control of a company that provided Internet Web sites for movies and other uses. Pellicano worked for the Nicheries. Court records and interviews show that Pellicano had secretly recorded conversations that Ami Shafrir had held with his lawyers and with others, including an FBI agent. Abner Nicherie met with Anthony Pellicano in Luckman Plaza on a regular basis beginning in the fall of 2000 to to review recent recordings of conversations that Mr. Pellicano had made. Court records show Pellicano was paid $154,000 by the Nicheries for his services. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1027462/posts November 23, 2003 Mary Matalin, now a senior advisor to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney stumbled across the Clinton-Pellicano link while she was political director for President Bush's 1992 reelection campaign."I got the letters from Pellicano to [various women linked to Bill Clinton] intimidating them," Matalin said in 1997, when she was the host of her own nationally syndicated talk show on the CBS Radio network. "I had tapes of conversations from Pellicano to the women. I got handwritten letters from the women...I got one letter from one of the women's dad's saying, 'This is so horrible. Here's what they're going to do to us,'" . Matalin wasn't the only one who knew about the Clinton's employment of Pellicano. In fact, before Pellicano's name became politically toxic, his identity had been widely reported. "Shortly after the [Monica Lewinsky] scandal broke, Lucianne Goldberg was in her office in New York when, she says, she got a call from David Kendall, Clinton's lawyer on Whitewater matters," reported Newsweek's Michael Isikoff in 1998. "Kendall, a gentlemanly lawyer, politely asked Goldberg if he could send someone by her New York apartment to pick up her tapes of her conversations with Linda Tripp. "Goldberg was furious. A few days earlier, one of her famous clients had already been approached by Anthony Pellicano, seeking information about the tapes. The detective had said that he was 'working for Clinton.'" New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's Washington attorney David Kendall denied that Anthony Pellicano ever worked for the Clintons. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=2071259 January 16, 2004 In federal court documents filed Thursday, the prosecutors said Anthony Pellicano had a file that included a physical description, license plate number and home address of Los Angeles Times reporter Anita Busch. Prosecutors said investigators also seized from Pellicano's office in 2002 a file labeled "Stephen Seagal matter," which included an article Busch had helped write about the actor. http://www.americanthinker.com/comments.php?comments_id=114 February 25, 2004 Pellicano was fingered by Dick Morris as a member of the White House Secret Police, Pellicano is accused of having a role in intimidating Kathleen Willey, a witness in the Paula Jones lawsuit, who eventually testified to having been groped by Bill Clinton shortly after her husband’s suicide. Pellicano first came to wide public notice as the “audio expert” who “discredited” the tape recordings of intimate conversations between Gennifer Flowers and Bill Clinton, during the 1992 campaign for President. http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1019664/replies?c=1 November 12, 2003 Sally Perdue, who told the London Telegraph in 1994 that after she was threatened with physical violence, her car windshield was broken and spent shotgun shell was left on the seat. Perdue abruptly relocated to China a few months after talking to the Telegraph, shortly after Paula Jones sued Mr. Clinton for sexual harassment."Anthony Pellicano, the L.A.-based private investigator and O.J. defense team veteran Sexgate provocatuer Lucianne Goldberg told Peyser that Pellicano's services were bought and paid for by the Clinton White House. When Peyser confronted the Los Angeles private detective with Goldberg's claim, he didn't deny it. "You're a smart girl. No comment," Pellicano told the Post reporter. http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/2/1/220929 February 2, 1999 In an interview with Lucianne Goldberg, Peyser of the NY Post learned that, "Anthony Pellicano, the L.A.-based private investigator and O.J. defense team veteran [was] responsible for digging up Andy Bleiler" (Monica Lewinsky's old boyfriend who claimed that she had gone to Washington just "to get her presidential kneepads").Pellicano's services, Goldberg claimed, were bought and paid for by the White House.Peyser didn't just rely on Goldberg's word. She checked with Pellicano himself. His response: "No comment. You're a smart girl. No comment." No wonder. Pellicano has a lot not to comment about. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/11/17/entertainment/main583974.shtml November 12, 2003 Comedian Gary Shandling told the Times that an FBI agent had contacted him and asked him questions about wiretapping in relation to Pellicano. Hollywood publicist Michael Sands said he suspected Pellicano of tapping his phones in 1990 when he was investigating one of Sands' celebrity clients. Sands acknowledged he could never prove it. "Anthony Pellicano was one of the detectives all the lawyers in Hollywood liked and they gave him their business,” Sands said. “They wanted his old-style muscle. There wasn't much of that around anymore.” http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/01/13/48hours/main666740.shtml January 13, 2005 It appeared that Pellicano and the prosecutors were the only ones in the courtroom who could hear the incriminating evidence and this came as no surprise to the Aisenberg team. own audio expert, Jack Mitchell, to listen to the tapes. "It's almost as if it were just simply made up," says Mitchell, who has worked for the U.S. Department of Justice. "There is no evidence whatsoever on any of these recordings that I have examined that will implicate the Aisenbergs in the disappearance of Baby Sabrina. None."fact, two judges appointed to review the prosecution's case found the Aisenberg tapes were "largely unintelligible." They called some of the statements false, and pure fiction. In a stunning blow to the prosecution, the recordings were ruled inadmissible. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/5383214.htm?1c Mar. 13, 2003 Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Saunders said the FBI identified the computer software Pellicano allegedly used to tap into telephones, his contact at the telephone company and a corrupt law enforcement officer who assisted him. Saunders made the new disclosures during an unsuccessful prosecution attempt to revoke Pellicano's $400,000 bail on an unrelated charge of possessing explosives. http://debat.jubii.dk/216/Leak+Investigation+Too+Little+Too+Late+As+Pros+Try+to+Shake+Blame%96+MJEOL+Bullet+24_136430.html January 29, 2005 Dianne Dimond of CourtTV said: of the grand jury leaks on the Michael Jackson case, “I can’t tell you where these leaks are coming from. I can tell you that there are people around Michael Jackson that do things on his behalf that are not necessarily very good for him….This is a felony to leak these grand jury documents but I think somewhere somehow someone around Michael Jackson may have thought ‘you know what? Like we did 10 years ago when Anthony Pellicano was around, let’s just throw it out there and get the shock value out’ ”. http://alexconstantine.50megs.com/virtual_government.html 2000 Allegations were made that Anthony Pellicano, a veteran military-intelligence officer and so-called “Gumshoe to the Stars,” had staked out Nicole Simpson’s house. "Pellicano has more mob connections than J. Edgar Hoover". He was hired by Howard Weitzman in the John DeLorean case, his first assignment upon moving to Los Angeles in 1983 . In 1976 he resigned under fire from the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission after local newspapers publicized the $30,000 loan he’d received from Paul “the Waiter” Ricca, the son of mob boss Paul de Lucia – the Godfather of Pellicano’s daughters ...Donald Re, Pellicano's attorney (a former law partner of Howard Weitzman) also represented A.C.Cowlings, a friend of O.J. Simpson and an employee of well known Mafia mogul, Joey Ippolito. http://yourmoralleader.blogspot.com/2005/01/anthony-pellicano-getting-early.html January 03, 2005 Pellicano's kids told friends their father will be getting out of prison on January 13, 2005....most federal crimes dictate that you do all or most of the sentence. If Pellicano got a three year sentence he has not served even half of it yet,, so unless he rolling over on someone (one) would be suspicious of an early release particularly with him. http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/282064p-241683c.html February 17, 2005 Journalist John Connolly and ex-Pellicano legman Paul Baressi believe that Michael Jackson himself may be behind the leaking of 1,903 pages of grand jury testimony on February 16, 2005, one day after he entered the hospital suffering from the flu. Jackson would just be following the strategy that Pellicano had taught him to let all the information out, no matter how damaging, since it's going to come out anyway, and use it to sway public opinion before the trial, possibly allowing his defense to call for a mistrial. http://sinhablar.com/news/terroristssuck.html November 23, 2002 Proctor, a 59-year-old ex-con who has been charged with threatening Times writer Anita Busch, told a FBI informant (in tape-recorded conversations) that Seagal hired him through Anthony Pellicano.. According to the informant's account, Proctor claimed that Pellicano farmed the strong-arm work out to him for $10,000. Prosecutors allege that Proctor, who is being held without bail, left a dead fish, a rose, and a note saying "Stop" on the windshield of Busch's car.
