Steve Thomas seems to get quite smitten by those he considers experts. I can see him following along with people like Vince Foster and any other expert who voiced an opinion that locked in step with the already established official line of a Ramsey being, "good for it." I see Steve Thomas cozying up with other suspects in this case and feeling truly outraged at what he perceived as unwarranted persecution of them. It was like his own private soap opera with the reporter Jeff Shapiro and the other suspects. It almost blew up in his face when he thought the media leaks were going to get traced back to him. Remember the cursing fit he threw when he thought it was all going to come out and he would be disgraced in front of the FBI?

I think Vince Foster was just thrilled to have Steve Thomas take him seriously and encouraged Thomas every chance he got. I think Fleet White would have been happy if Thomas had been able to have any influence over getting rid of Alex Hunter.
