Progress Kentucky, the liberal super PAC that came under fire for making racial slurs about the wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is also responsible for a recently-leaked recording of the senator in a strategy meeting, according to Louisville radio station WFPL and Fox News.
Both outlets are quoting Jacob Conway, a committee member of the Jefferson County Democratic Party, as naming Sean Reilly and Curtis Morrison, respectively the founder and a former employee of Progress Kentucky, as the culprits.
"They happen to be friends of mine. Or were friends of mine," Conway told Fox News in a phone interview after WFPL broke the story.
Conway said he ran into Reilly and Morrison around the time they allegedly taped the McConnell team's campaign meeting, and that they said they'd been at the grand opening of the senator's campaign office, which was the same day as the conversation that was ultimately recorded and leaked.
"They were there after the event had ended and were in the hallway and, you know, they overheard the conversation going on," Conway said. "I guess they heard all the tasteless and offensive and tacky things that the McConnell campaign was discussing they decided to record it."
The McConnell campaign has in recent days accused the "political left" of a "Nixonian" office "bugging," and an aide for the senator said the team was working with the FBI to investigate the possible crime.

Until I decided to pimp on them and cover my own sorry ass.
Wondering now if the stuck pigs will squeal...
I believe it’s called a crime.
“I guess they heard all the tasteless things being said, and decided to record it...”
Yeah, they were walking by the open window, minding their own business, and overheard tasteless campaign strategyzing taking place inside. So they decided to turn on their recorders...
Nothing but a couple of low I.Q., hillbilly, communist wannabes. These two punks need their asses kicked.
Isn’t “Progress Kentucky” an oxymoron?

These are the slimebags that were race-baiting McConnel’s wife so badly that twitter made them apologize and deleted all their tweets.
The boys are hardcore liberal-fascist operatives.
Rush covered this in depth today.
Nope. I bet the chain of command on this illegal bugging goes much higher than a group of moron Kentucky liberals.
They’re a front. The plumbers.
Keep digging, you’ll likely find the Assclown, Hitlery, Ickes, and a few other sleazeballs involved.
You can figure how this was accomplished. They knew a meeting was going to occur, in a particular conference room. They put their I-Phone in the room prior to the meeting, and just came back later to retrieve it. It was that simple.
Why were they talking about campaign strategy with so many people around? I wouldn’t assume that everyone at a campaign HQ opening is necessarily a supporter. Read my tagline.
Didn’t Motherf&^#er Jones say that this tape came from the same source as the Mitt Romney “47%” tape? Was that Kentucky liberals as well or does this go higher within the Party?
Conway is one of those angry radical leftist gays that would lawn mow a row of kittens if it meant that the Democrats could stay in power.
What he said on Fox today might get him in real trouble because it is in contrast with several easy to prove facts.
BS. They didn’t overhear the conversation in the hall and record it on an iphone.
They planted a bug when they went to the open house.
The repubs really, really need to learn tactics and defenses.
I’m all for getting rid of McConnell the mumbler. A useless ‘leader’.
But not for Judd.
“I believe its called a crime.”
Pssst—it’s only a crime if committed by Republicans.
Call in the Viking Kitties
Other than causing ‘old wounds’ to be reopened, I am surprised the Libs haven’t tried to say this is no different than James O’Keefe who taped Morons son and ‘duped’ ACORN.
The fact that illegal wiretaps (there is that NASTY word ILLEGAL again - the Libs have no concept) are, in fact illegal, I am sure it carries some extra weight if you are illegally taping a Senator or Representative etc.....
