Pellicano is known to have represented Anthony "the Ant" Spilotro, the Chicago mobster charged with monitoring the Las Vegas casino "skim" for the Chicago mob. Gustave Reininger, the co-creator of NBC's acclaimed television drama "Crime Story," was served both a subpoena and a warning from Spilotro through Pellicano.

Don't know anything about the wiretapping case. Spent 4 years in the USAF Comm Service in the 60's. We were controlled by NSA. We had regs in place if we needed a wire tap. It was about as hard as ordering a Big Mac from Mcdonalds. It had all kinds of safeguards built in so we felt safe using the system. Spent 17 years in law enforcement and likewise there were rules and safeguards along with some very stiff laws involving the method of info gathereing. I cannot believe the govt is going to try a "hollywood" sneak on illegal wiretapping charges. DOn't they know there own house is going to suffer and the tax payer will be out billions covering all their mistakes. What a screwed up system we now live by! Our own "democratic" government is opeating like the Nazi's and the KGB.
