 Medlar faces 26-count indictment
Medlar's motives for secrecy, according to the document, were to conceal the use of Cisneros' money and because she did not have sufficient assets with which to qualify for a mortgage.
Medlar alone is charged with obstruction of justice and making a false statement in connection with answers she gave after a November 1995 immunity agreement she reached with the independent counsel's office.
Specifically, the indictment alleges, Medlar did not tell investigators that she had edited the tapes, that she falsely claimed to have filed a 1994 income tax return, that the tapes were duplicates and not originals and that she did not visit a safety deposit box when she said she did.

 washingtonpost.com: SPECIAL COUNSEL SOUGHT TO INVESTIGATE CISNEROS
The payments to Medlar first came to light last July, when she filed suit against Cisneros for $256,000, claiming he breached an "oral contract" to pay her $4,000 per month until her teenage daughter graduated from college in 1999.
Medlar said that after the break-up, Cisneros had paid her close to $4,000 per month for more than three years, ending in mid-1993, several months after he became housing secretary.
The Justice Department took an interest in the case after Medlar accepted a $15,000 fee to tell her story on the tabloid television show "Inside Edition," suggesting that Cisneros had "lied" to the FBI about the payments during the background checks.

To prove the violation of 18 U.S.C. s 1001,1 as alleged in each of these counts, the government would have to show that the facts Cisneros concealed or the false statements he made on his SF-86 and to the FBI were "material." See United States v.
Still, it is worth adding that on the face of the Indictment it is far from clear that even this single object of the conspiracy would necessari- ly require proof that Cisneros's false statements were materi- al because they were capable of influencing the President and the Senate.
There is no contention that adjudicating the materiality of their false statements would impinge upon the prerogatives of the political branches.

In the end, he brought Cisneros 18 felony counts of conspiracy, false statements and obstruction of justice stemming from payments of more than $250,000 that prosecutors say he gave to Linda Jones (once Linda Medlar), a former mistress, to buy her silence on their relationship and assure his confirmation as housing secretary in 1993.
Although he broke up with Medlar-Jones and had made amends with his wife Mary Alice, he knew the opposition would re-kindle the cheating-spouse firestorm and throttle him with it in a state where Christian family values were growing more important even then.
The affair between Cisneros and Medlar began in March 1987, when she was working as a fund raiser for Cisneros, who was the then mayor of San Antonio.

"we found Mr Medlar and doctor Wagtail, disputing upon the word 'custard', which the physician affirmed should be spelled with a G, because it was derived from the Latin verb 'gustare', 'to taste'.
So is Medlar’s, since pudding is not derived from the French word 'Boudin', but vice versa, but his sentiments on the matter are pure virtue, of course.
It remains the case that Wagtail is OTT and Medlar is an ignorant fool with at least the ability to appeal to common sense.

 Is legacy of Cisneros in danger?
Even after his affair with then-Linda Medlar was made public, even after an investigation was launched to determine whether he had lied to the FBI during a background check about payments he made to her, Cisneros remained the benchmark by which local leaders were judged.
As former Mayor Nelson Wolff writes in his recently published book Mayor, a chronicle of San Antonio between 1981 and 1995, "For eight years, Henry was the city."
But the former mayor's indictment Thursday on 21 counts of obstructing justice and making false statements to the FBI when he was nominated to head the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development raises the question once, and perhaps, for all: How much longer can the legacy last?
