Disgraced Congressman 'Wore a Wire' - Duke Cunningham wore a wire
The fed Prosecuters are going for blood...

Today from Time.com
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1146700,00.html

Washington's power players have always bragged about being well-wired, but for disgraced former congressman Duke Cunningham, "wired" wasn't just a figure of speech. In a week when legislators are focused on the question of who else might be brought down by ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s cooperation with prosecutors as he seeks lenient sentencing over his two federal guilty pleas this week, sources tell TIME that in a separate investigation, ex-Rep. Cunningham wore a wire to help investigators gather evidence against others just before copping his own plea.

-snip-

The identity of those with whom the San Diego congressman met while wearing the wire remains unclear, and is the source of furious — and nervous — speculation by congressional Republicans. -snip-

1. Just look for the ones whose hands are shakiing and they're
sweating profusely!

Can you just imagine the different people straining to remember if they met with Duke, where, and exactly WHAT they said? HA HA HA HA HA

2. Uh....that would be J.D. Hayworth
That's EXACTLY how he appeared when he was interviewed by the local news here in AZ, trying to explicate his Abramoff ties.
