Did David Corn Break the Law?

David Corn, the Mother Jones writer who released the “secret tape” of a Mitch McConnell campaign meeting, might have broken the law by publishing information that appears to have been obtained illegally, according to sources.

Asked about how the tape was obtained yesterday on TV, Corn said, “We did not make the tape. We were provided the tape. And that it is our understanding that the tape was not part of any Watergate style bugging operation, as Mitch McConnell has claimed it to be.”
