Mayor's Office bugged.

(CNN) -- The FBI planted an electronic bugging device in Philadelphia Mayor John Street's office, a senior federal government source and two law enforcement sources told CNN Wednesday.

 

But the FBI disputed the report.

 

"We have not confirmed that at all," said FBI Special Agent Linda Vizi. "When the bug was found, we were made aware of it, and we will proceed from there."

 

The sources would not say whether Street is the target of a public corruption investigation, which the sources told CNN is going on in Philadelphia.

 

Street has said he doesn't know why the device was placed in his office or who put it there. It was found Tuesday during a routine security sweep by Philadelphia police, and the FBI was called in to investigate.

 

Street told reporters Tuesday that he was not involved in any activities that he knew to be under investigation.

 

"I have done nothing wrong," Street said.

 

Street, a Democrat, is campaigning for re-election November 4 in a close race against Republican Sam Katz, whom he beat four years ago in a close race.

I hope they don't trace it back to me.

 

Dang. I am such a crappy spy.

Yeah, next thing you know, they'll be trying to insinuate he was a Nazi sympathizer. That's the kiss of death.
