Agreed. You can forgive some of his other less than upstanding activities but the dude hired a hitman. I hope that’s a bridge too far for everybody.

I mostly agree, but I would like to see the full context of the hitman stuff. My understanding is that it was a law enforcement plant that encouraged him to hire a hitman and then referred him to one, which was of course also a plant. Still bad, but also seems a bit like entrapment.
He has spent 10 years in federal prison. He was never convicted of any murder for hire scheme.
