That great American Randy "Duke" Cunningham who has clearly proven that he is for sale has sold himself again, this time to the Justice Department. According to the Wash. Post on 1-7-06 Cunninghah wore a "wire" for them as part of his plea deal.
According to the article his former fellow GOP colleagues are truly upset and obviously worried what they might have said to Duke before he revealed himslef to be a whore.
Question? Did Cunningham wear a wire to help the government or help himself?

Former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-Calif.) wore a listening device as part of his cooperation with federal prosecutors before pleading guilty to taking $2.4 million in bribes in November, Time magazine reported yesterday.
Time said that it is unclear who might have been targeted for electronic monitoring by Cunningham but that the topic "is the source of furious -- and nervous -- speculation by congressional Republicans."
The magazine, citing unidentified sources, said the recording took place "at some point during the short interval" between Cunningham's agreement to cooperate with prosecutors and his Nov. 28 guilty plea. [snip]
Sanjay Bhandari of the San Diego U.S. attorney's office, which is leading the probe of Cunningham, also declined to comment on the report.
Cunningham, an eight-term representative and decorated former fighter pilot, tearfully resigned from Congress after admitting that he took millions in bribes from defense contractors -- including cash, house payments, a Rolls-Royce, a yacht and a 19th-century Louis-Philippe commode.
The FBI is still conducting its investigation of defense contractors and others tied to the former lawmaker.
