Democrat Dirty Tricks
One of them comes back to haunt a leading House liberal. But who gave him the okay? Also: Deciding Bush's travels will cost him.
A Florida couple using a scanner intercepted the December 1996 conference call, most likely picking up the signal from Boehner's cell phone. The couple then traveled to Washington, D.C. and handed the tape over to McDermott, a liberal Democrat from Washington state and then member of the House Ethics Committee, who says he listened to the tape, considered it to be of significant public interest, and then leaked its contents to two Capitol Hill reporters.
