...
Very few people in Washington who are not Very High Profile dare seriously
cross swords with the Clintons. There are well over a hundred people
associated with the Clintons over the past twenty-five years who have done
so, and subsequently died in violent or questionable circumstances.
...I stopped believing in repetitive coincidence many years ago.


John, can you establish that people "associated with the Clintons over the
past twenty-five years" number fewer than tens of thousands (using a broad
enough criterion of "associated with" to encompass the "well over a hundred"
whose deaths you refer to)? Can you then establish that the alleged 100+
consitute an above-average percentage of those associates to have died in
"violent or questionable circumstances" (using a broad enough criterion of
"questionable circumstances" to encompass all alleged 100+)?

Unless you do, you have not shown that there is even any coincidence to be
explained, let alone that your bizarre explanation has merit.

When the same type of thing repeatedly occurs around the
same group of people, only a blind man would fail to make
some connection.


Either a blind man, or anyone with a grasp of elementary statistical
reasoning.
