jbo CALIFORNIAS FBI chief defends Abscam _ Strongly defended the FBI's Abscam. investigation ” 9/28/82. WASHINGTON — Breaking a long, self-im- silence, FBI Director William H. Webster has and has made clear that he would use the same undercover tactics again, if necessary. With firm- ness and occasionally some heat, Webster declared in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that “we will always follow our leads.” And he dismissed allegations that the investigation, which resulted in the conviction of seven members of Congress on bribery and other charges, somehow trapped inno- cent men. The former federal judge offered point- hy-naint replies to criticism of Abscam by Sep. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., and others.
