RAW STORY
Published: Monday March 5, 2007

According to a release sent to RAW STORY by the group National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, government officials were illegaly wiretapped by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in order to advance a public corruption investigation.

A 2002 complaint by FBI Special Agent Gilbert Graham alleges that an FBI task force on which he was serving used counterintelligence wiretaps in order to primarily spy on US government officials.

"It is the complainant’s reasonable belief that the request for ELSUR coverage was a subterfuge to collect evidentiary information concerning public corruption matters," the just released complaint shows.

The full release is included below, and can also be accessed, with links to relevant documents, at the NSWBC website.
