Watch your cell phone usage. Leading Democrats are prying into peoples personal lives and getting away with it. Democrat Admits Leaking Gingrich Tape Wednesday, May 15, 2002 newsmax.com Rep. James McDermott, D-Wash., has admitted leaking to the media a criminal recording of a phone call involving then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich. A nosy Florida couple used a scanner to illegally intercept the December 1996 conference call in which Gingrich, Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other House leaders discussed strategy involving announcement of an ethics committee's finding against Gingrich. The couple gave the tape to McDermott, and the contents soon surfaced in news stories. The couple later pleaded guilty to unlawfully intercepting the call and were fined $500 each. Boehner is suing the Demo-rat for violating a federal wiretapping law barring people from disclosing information they know was obtained by illegally intercepting a "wire, oral or electronic communication." In court papers filed last month, McDermott admitted he was the source, the Associated Press reported today.
