"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" (spoken aloudⓘ; also expressed as "troublesome priest" or "meddlesome priest") is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket due to an ongoing dispute between crown and church. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler's wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates. It is also commonly understood as shorthand for any rhetorical device allowing leaders to covertly order or exhort violence among their followers, while still being able to claim plausible deniability for political, legal, or other reasons.
I have heard it before with Billy and Hilary Clintstone in particular. They " (Big Corp and Big Political) --have fixers" who will rid them of pesky people who have become a problem for them. I think big corporations also have these people that a friend of a friend of another friend know who to call.
