Oh?

I think they could make an interesting point about whether the Feds
might have used some of that information to gather other information...

For one thing, they found out about some of his foreign accounts- that
could lead to other things.  They also found some of his 'friends'
who had slipped through the net.

And what *other* tapes were there?  Was there a tape which included their
discussions on the defense strategy?  Sure could screw up any chance of
a fair trial...
