Is this what the former mayors lawyer said when he asked them if they could get him out of his fraud and extortion charges?

Ah Jasiel Correa. A total narcissist who had serious charm, and pretty good communication. He was a prince of the Portuguese diaspora who whispered sweet nothings to his constituents. The people saw that pretty face and silken voice and totally ignored that he was barely out of college. They saw visions of a Portuguese Kennedy. Buddy Cianci was shaking his head from heaven. "Can't have a paper trail kid." Good times. (I grew up in nearby Tiverton)
