Clue/Question: The FBI agents wanted the money launderer to – – –
Answer: COME CLEAN
(But, he won’t. Because, he’s a filthy stinkin’ criminal. This pun smells better than he does. Enter the crooked, shyster lawyer.
All of today’s clue words are currently residing in the ralis95 clue word database. Three of their jumbles appear to be new, with only “vumea” having definitely been used before. It took me a second, or two, to see both “elope” and “cognac”. And, I’ve always loved the word “jalopy”. The answer letter layout was a fine nine letter jumble. If you’re not a fan of police procedurals I guess you could have struggled to get the final answer.
Great cartoon of an interrogation room scene. Looks like the guy has decided to clam up. Clearly, he’s waiting on his mouthpiece. Fun Jumble. Of course the lower photo is a mock-up. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

With COGNAC and JALOPY, what’s not to love?
I actually never heard of the color word MAUVE. That may be the first word in Jumble
I never heard of. It was really a thrill for me. {I may have some problems, You Think??}
I can’t say how I know this[Clearance thing]
but playing hard ball with the FBI hardly EVER
works, unless you are in a very powerful position, but that’s another story..
