From Cafe, welcome to Stay Tuned. I'm Pete Barara.

Often people say stupid things in wiretaps. I had a drug case where they talked in pig

Latin, which wasn't too hard to break apart after the fact.

heroin was food, so there's a lot of description of UDFAY all over the wire.

That's Patrick Fitzgerald. He's a former federal prosecutor who led cases against corrupt

government officials, terrorists, and organized crime bosses, man after my own heart. He

led the prosecution of Scooter Libby, and he's now representing Jim Comey. I talked to

Pat about how prosecutors build a case, the art of flipping a witness, and deciphering

wiretaps in pig Latin. But first, let's get to your questions.

Freak, this is Eva from Phoenix, and I love, love, love the show. I listen to it and I feel

so much smarter about things that I should have known maybe. I don't know, but my question

is all of these partners kind of get ridiculous. They make no sense, but I've been reading

that they have something to do with him using them as a weapon. Is there way to stop this?

I mean, it just has no why-my-reason. I think he would probably pardon, I don't know,

Mickey Mouse is something happen. I'm Mickey would never get in trouble. But anyway, I love

the show, and I'd like you to answer the question. Thanks.
