well now we have it. This should get interesting as to whether or not this gets prosecuted.
Do we have any legal beagles on the board right now? I'd love some input.
Kentucky law says it is a felony to overhear, record amplify or transmit any part of a wire or oral communication of others without the consent of at least one party thereto by means of any electric, mechanical or other device."
But if the conversation was audible from a hallway, it's disputable whether recording qualifies as eavesdropping.
The McConnell team has issued a statement:
The McConnell campaign has responded to the revelation that the liberal super PAC is behind the leaked audio.
"WFPL's reports that left-wing activists illegally recorded a private meeting inside our campaign headquarters are very disturbing," says McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton. "At this point, we understand that the FBI is immersed in an intensive criminal investigation and must defer any further comment to them."
