Carter Vesco link probe pits two close allies at odds
Washington editor notes Griffin Bell and Charles Kirbo, Georgia lawyers and Carter aides, team up to probe Kirbo's role in the Vesco influence plot. The piece details their uneasy collaboration, witness outreach in Albany, Ga., and questions raised about impartiality as the FBI investigates a $10 million scheme to influence the Carter administration. It also recounts Carter's 1977 Vesco note to Bell, the White House reaction, and a journalist briefing with Bell and DOJ officials. The column shifts to a Fire Prevention Week feature with sobering fire loss figures and practical safety tips.
