Remember Iowa? If I am not mistaken one of Tom Harkin or Tom Vilsack's guys was guilty of a simlar thing. I can't recall if he was charged or not?

[xsmommy]

yes i think it was Harkin, now that you mention it, but i don't recall hearing what came of that.

In the Harkin case, it was a meeting that was secretly recorded by one of the participants. Despicable as it was, there was no federal law broken because it wasn't something done over the telephone, and no state laws were broken because Iowa law allows a party to a conversation to record it, even if done secretly.

The IA culprit was exempt from the law because he is Democrat. Only Republicans are prosecuted under such laws.
