Did his whole life and always got away with it. He is convinced he can outsmart anyone. Really its the unethical lawyers he buys. Don't think for a minute he didn't install some unethical judges, like Cannon.

I wish the sob would just die.
You know if he quits like Carville predicts, Vance's first order of business is to pardon him. Ford all over again.
