When police raided Pellicano’s office, they found plastic explosives in his safe.
But potentially more explosive were tape recordings and thousands of pages of computerised records, the result of years of snooping for and against celebrities.
He even tried to put a trademark on his system of intercepting and recording phone calls under the name "Telesleuth". Pellicano himself used a pelican as his logo.
Those tapes were the start of a scandal that is potentially the most salacious since Hollywood madame Heidi Fleiss’ black book threatened to embarrass a string of celebrities.
If there is scandal in Hollywood, then it’s a fair bet that Pellicano would pop up somewhere in it. (He played a minor role in the Heidi Fleiss affair.)
He worked for Michael Jackson when he was first accused of child molestation.
Several reporters have said he tried to intimidate them to back off stories.
He is reported to have been hired by the Clintons to investigate tapes that Gennifer Flowers made of Bill Clinton’s extra-marital conversations.
He even tried to dig up dirt on a prosecutor’s past as a Las Vegas showgirl.
This week, John McTiernan, the director of Die Hard, Predator and The Hunt for Red October, became the highest-profile person to be charged as part of the Pellicano brief.

Loren Kirk had merely once shared an apartment with Gennifer Flowers, but that was enough for her to be chased down. San Francisco private eye Jack Palladino — referred to as a "knee buster" by one Republican personally familiar with his 1992 work — paid Kirk a visit that summer. And according to the American Spectator in April 1994, Palladino posed a chilling question to her.
"Is Gennifer Flowers the sort of person who would commit suicide?" the enforcer wanted to know.
Palladino was paid over $100,000 for his work as an alleged bimbo silencer. Dick Morris has questioned whether Palladino was paid from federal funds, which he rightly says would be a devastating development if proved.
Morris, who’s spent the last few months warning about the "Clinton secret police," is apparently unaware that the Clinton watchdog group Citizens United published a copy of the pertinent page from the Clinton campaign’s 1992 Federal Election Commission disbursement report. It suggests that at least $17,000 worth of Palladino’s expenses were paid with campaign monies that had federal matching funds mixed in.
Another Flowers-related victim would be her Quapaw Towers neighbor, Gary Johnson, who says his videotape of Clinton standing outside her door was stolen by thugs who beat him to a pulp and left him for dead.
America could learn a thing or two from Johnson’s testimony, and Hyde might supplement it with a deposition from writer L.J. Davis, who claims he was knocked unconscious in his hotel room while researching a report for the New Republic on Hillary Clinton
’s Rose Law Firm.
Former Miss America Elizabeth Ward Gracen has recounted in two recent interviews the incredible pressure brought to bear to win her silence about her own 1982 one night stand with Clinton. Her digs were also broken into in an apparent attempt to round up damaging evidence before it fell into the hands of Paula Jones’ lawyers.
Arkansas state Trooper L.D. Brown claims he was approached in London last year by Clinton operatives who offered him $100,000 to change his Whitewater testimony. Trooper Danny Ferguson alleged in late 1993 that the president himself called and offered a federal job for his silence about the women he procured for Clinton, one of whom was Paula Jones.
The press was compelled to pick up the original "Troopergate" reports, broken first in the Los Angeles Times and the American Spectator, largely because of Ferguson’s bribery charge. Both USA Today and the American Lawyer have reported that friends of Ferguson strongly suspect that he has the Clinton bribery call on tape.
Is anyone in the main press interested in all this? Not so far. But unless Henry Hyde wants to see his hearings degenerate into a squabble about the relevance of perjury about sex, he’d better get interested. For instance, how about a subpoena for Danny Ferguson and the Clinton tape his friends believe he has?
Partisans can argue till the cows come home about whether lies about sex are impeachable. But a similar debate about Clinton-connected bribery, blackmail, and beatings should be rather short.
