BOMBSHELL: Street Aide Fabricated Bug-Sweep Story
Posted by: gregp on Monday, January 31, 2005 - 06:40 AM
This gets closer to Johnny-boy every day...
Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson has told federal investigators
that top mayoral aide George Burrell urged him to tell the public the
false story that the FBI bug was found in a "routine" search of Mayor
Street's office.
By putting out that account in October 2003, right after the bug's
discovery, two top Street administration officials misled the public
about Burrell's own role in prompting the search.
In fact, both men have since told investigators, it was Burrell who
initially took Johnson aside and asked him to have police conduct the
sweep, saying he suspected the presence of a bug, according to
several people familiar with the investigation.
Federal authorities have asked Burrell about his role in getting
Johnson to put out the false story. Burrell replied that he did not
recall such a conversation with Johnson, according to one source.
