I thought it was odd to not let the VP keep talking to find out more info. The feds definitely jumped the gun.

Yes, I can definitely see them covering this up. The VP was murder by his wife during a secert meeting at a cemetery in the middle of the night… followed by the wife killing herself. The world couldn't handle it.

Right! This scene was so unreal. They were at Arlington Cemetery Mrs McLeish wouldn't be able to just walk in freely to catch them from behind. It was silly but made for good tv.
