the quote from the mag?
when he was on the phone with me, he told me that he just stepped aside and let them tap his line and sit in his living room. He didn't "help", but he also didn't slam the door on them. They were listening in to calls made from Craig while on the road. They were in his home. He tried telling me he didn't help them, but after being pressured he admitted that he did let them STAY in his house, as he was a parolee and didn't think he could say no.
In his mind, he didn't help because his meeting with Craig never took place. However, the feds being in his house may have helped a little.
