The investigation and arrest of the Boston Patriot, one of New England's most prolific credit card fraud masters and a dopey drug smuggler turned counterfeiter who smoked one too many joints. The investigation of an identify theft suspect with a lengthy criminal record, who convinced the FBI he was someone else, and an investigation of a pipe bomb targeting President Clinton in a small Oregon town. Riding horses and golfing with President Clinton and the day he made President Clinton scream out in pain.
