The lead prosecutor in the phone jamming case told the Maine federal judge who is deciding whether to let the government go forward against Jame Tobin with a charge of lying to the FBI about the phone jamming that at least four others could be charged with lying to investigators and that others knew about the crime before it occurred. The Bangor News reports that:
U.S. Trial Attorney Andrew Levchuk said that at least four other people could be charged with lying to investigators, as Tobin has been.
Levchuk did not name anyone but said that individuals in addition to Tobin, 48, and two others who pleaded guilty and served prison terms had "prior knowledge" of the plan to make repeated hang-up calls to Democratic get-out-the-vote phone banks more than six years ago.
The prosecutor, who works in the Public Integrity Division of the U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division in Washington, also said that he believed Tobin had told a "superior" about the plan.
The list of James Tobins superiors in 2002 would be a very short document composed of very important people at the highest levels of the RNC and the White House Political Office. People worth the 5+ million dollars spent so far for Tobins legal fees.
