I remember an incident from those times during Nixon....i was living in Florida at the time and there was a case where they had arrested 7 anti war protesters and put them on trial....I believe they were referred to as the Gainsvill 7...and at the trial they discovered 2 FBI agents in a closet with a tape recorder taping the Jury room.

So even the sanctity of the jury system is no barrier to spying....the end justifies the means in the eyes of the sociopath.
And my guess is that those two agents got their permotion right along...but I don;t know, because there were no more news reports on it
