Remember: getting blow job and lying about it = impeachment, if only because the death penalty apparently can't be applied; incredible abuse of power and violation of laws which represent the core values of the American Republic = beatification.

The problem you have here is the precedent set by the exclusionary rule. Instead of punishing the perpetrator you punish the victim. The cops violate the constitution all the time but the only result is the exclusion of the evidence. So in this case all the evidence aquired through the illegal wiretap will be destroyed and nothing will be done to the people who did the wiretaps.
