The PRESS OF ATLANTIC CITY reports that MCCABE, who moved on to the ATLANTIC DAILY SENTINEL/GALLOWAY NEWS website after the demise of the liberal Talk format at WTAA, testified that she got the call on NOVEMBER 26th, 2006 and thought it would be "one heck of a story, if it's true.: The man later delivered a DVD showing Councilman EUGENE ROBINSON with a prostitute the man claimed was underage (but was not).

Former City Council Pres. CRAIG CALLAWAY is already serving time in federal prison for the blackmail scheme, and his brothers RONALD and DAVID CALLAWAY and FLOYD TALLY are being tried for the same crime.
