Operation Rocky Top : ウィキペディア英語版 | Operation Rocky Top Operation Rocky Top was the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI's) code name for a public corruption investigation into the Tennessee state government in the late 1980s.〔Ronald Smothers, ( Tennessee Republicans See an Election Weapon in State's Bingo Scandal ), ''The New York Times'', January 28, 1990〕 ==Investigation== Operation Rocky Top was launched in 1986 as an FBI and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation undercover investigation into illegal activities in charity bingo, including the illegal sale of bingo licenses. A first-year member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, Randy McNally of Oak Ridge, became a secret participant in the investigation in 1986 after he reported to authorities that a bingo lobbyist had offered him bribes and had boasted about bribing other lawmakers. For the duration of the investigation McNally "wore a wire" and cultivated the trust of bingo lobbyists and other insiders so they would talk freely in front of him and offer him bribes. Ned McWherter, who was Speaker of the Tennessee House when the investigation began and who was elected governor in 1986, also was praised by federal officials for cooperating with the investigation.〔
