how common are federal wire taps? did they sting him or catch him on purpose?
and was the story leaked or did they go to him first with the evidence?
If I understood it correctly, they were originally looking into the movement of his finances as potential bribes or similar payoffs. That's standard with any gov't official.
It wasn't until the got the wiretap that they understood what the money was actually being used for.
I read an article on this somewhere so I'll see if I can't find it and post it.
