I said, let me think about it.
Well, think about it.
I went straight to the law library and I looked up his case and that wasn't it at all.
He owed the mob a hundred thousand.
He took out the life insurance policy.
He hired the hit man.
He got caught because of course he's going to get caught where the, where's the first place the cops are going to go and where the money went.
And he ratted out the hit man so that he wouldn't get the federal death penalty.
Instead, he got 20 years.
So I said, no rats in the room.
So he was mad at me.
Anyway, one day, Jake Tapper comes up to the prison to interview me.
And I get called down to the lieutenant's office.
Normally, if you're called down to the lieutenant's office, it's to go to solitary.
If you come back, usually it's because you ratted somebody out.
Well, I went down there to sign the waiver so I could give Jake Tapper the interview.
So I'm sitting in the TV room next to truck.
Truck was very, very sensitive about being called a chomo because that girl that he strangled was 16, which technically made him a chomo.
