Government wiretaps are proving pivotal in a string of political corruption trials going through Chicago’s federal courthouse. That happened last week with the perjury and obstruction conviction of Timothy Mapes, a one-time aide to former Illinois House Speaker Madigan. And secret recordings figure to play a prominent role in the upcoming bribery and racketeering trials of former Chicago Alderman Edward Burke and of Madigan himself.
