How much do you think Clarence Mitchell really knows?
I wonder just how close he has become to the McCanns, is it purely spin or has he become a close confident?
Could he know a whole lot more than he is letting on, or does he believe whole-heartedly that the little girl was abducted ... surely not?
I wonder how he will stand if and when the truth eventually comes out, cos he's gonna look rather silly then (well more silly than he does already.)
Perhaps it's just the money he likes but how on earth could you happily represent someone for years if you didn't believe in what you were saying?
He is taking a back seat now I know, I wonder if he has had enough, could he be the person who finally breaks?

The question for me is rather - did he stumble upon the truth or was he told from the outset?
He's definitely up shit creek without a peddle if the shit hits the fan on this case. He wont ever break because of his involvement in the cover up. At most if push comes to shove he might act as witness against them (to protect himself) if it comes to that.

he simply wants to get his side of the story and that side ONLY. Mind he has dug himself into a massive hole on this one. Who is the story, Clarence, Kate & Gerry and running a very late fourth - Madeleine?

"Your mission is to do whatever it takes Clarence, just keep it all well away from our front door. Look after us and we will look after you. Fear nothing.".
The McCanns have, I would say, secrets that could take them all down. That is why Gerry is so cocksure. He knows if they go down they all come tumbling down with them. It could be possible that if the heat becomes too much the McCanns just might get buried along with their secrets. A double suicide? A car crash? A lunatic anti with a slasher? Suffocated under a mixture of piles of 10 pound notes and litigation writs? It could be organised. Mitchell must be a tad worried too.
I bet a contigency plan has already been drawn up. But I bet it's not drawn up by the same person who diligently swung the abduction senario in to action. They lost the plot quite early on. I actually can see the abduction theory as Mitchell's brainchild and that is why he goes the extra mile to defend it. Maybe he is trying to save his own arse as well as all those on Team McCann involved in this seedy drama.
In my eyes Mitchell stands as guilty as them all.

I don't think Clarrie was all that clever, made loads of mistakes. On the occasions that something particularly subtle came from him, I think he was directer by a much better media manipulator. But Clarrie had the advantage of being expendable.
Just think what Peter Mandelson would have made of this, a far classier performance. But he wasn't at Gordon's side until 2008. Quite a surprise when the Prince of Darkness was summoned from Brussels to support and advise the PM. I have a feeling he was advising him much earlier than that, GB needed all the help he could get.

Thing is, our societies have legal counsil and their rights like client confidentiality for a good reason, it does not mean anyone else who helps a person under attack (rightly or wrongly) also has these rights. If he as much as suspects the Mccanns are not truthful, he should at the very least quit his job. If he stays on he is accountable as well.
