Former mayor of San Antonio, and former head of HUD, Henry Cisneros is in big
trouble.
Just yesterday, his mistress, Linda Jones was senetenced to 3.5 years in the big
house for lying to authorities about hush money paid to her by Cisneros and for
concealing evidence.
Outside the court, she stated that she does not view herslef as a criminal
because this was a victimless crime.  "My definition of a criminal is someone who
committed a crime against society, or against another person" she said.  "By no
means do I think of myself as a criminal, that I ever have been or that I ever
will be."

Cisneros faces charges in Washington that he concealed how much he had paid Mrs.
Jones.
His trial is set for Nov. 4.

Prosecutors claim that Cisneros paid Mrs. Jones $185,000 over a three year period
to silence her about their 2 1/2 year affair, which ended in 1989.  Cisneros was
then mayor of San Antonio and Mrs Jones was a political fund raiser who went by
her married name, Medlar.

Cisneros eventually reconciled with his wife, Mary Alice, tyhen he left the
Cabinet in 1996 and currently runs the Spanish language television network
Univison.

 After he stopped making payments following his first year as HUD secretary, she
filed a breach of contract lawsuit, eventually settling for $49,000.

Clinton can pick'em!  He appears he has a good deal in common with President
Bubba.
