FBI Planted Bugging Devices in Philadelphia Mayor's Office

[govegan]

What is the story behind this? Any DUer's in Philly have info. on this?

The FBI office claims to be non-partisan, but it's JA's dept. is it not?





Federal law enforcement officials on Wednesday confirmed that listening devices found in the offices of Mayor John F. Street were planted by the FBI - a discovery that touched off a political furor just weeks before Election Day.

Three federal law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that the FBI was responsible for the bug, but refused to comment on whether the Democratic mayor is a target of an investigation or to provide any details about the nature of the probe.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, and Sen. Arlen Specter, a Republican, were among several politicians who called on the FBI Wednesday to tell the public what it knows about the eavesdropping equipment, found Tuesday.

1. You know just as much as we do

However, I wouldn't be suprised of Asscroft and his gang planted the bug. He stopped a black judge and now he's stopping a black mayor. I smell politics, and it sure smells dirty.

Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania, California, Flroida, and now Philadelphia? I am totally suprised nobody has put the pieces together yet. I'm just baffled.
