He’s got Art Monk promising to hit up race track owner John JOhnston for bribes tied to legislation meant to make the casinos pay a certain amount of money to the horse track owners. Johnston is not objecting to their release, so he must not have cooperated.

Actual quote from intercept some years ago:

Perp A: “Don’t – uh – like I can’t talk about that here”
Perpette B: “You tol’ me you guys never dun nuthin!”
Perp A: “Ya an’ I dint lie about that I dint – - lawyer’s worried about like uh – maybe they find out we like Con Spired”
Perpette B: “Wha?”
Perp A: “Con Spired – it means like we – we had an agreement – like a contract” Perpette B: “….. that’s sounds kinda right …”
Perp A: “I know but we’re just sposta not talk about it – you know like on the phone”

And every lawyer I know with any experience in these things can report similar.
