Greg Rampton is a retired FBI agent. Regarding his alleged involvement with Karl Rove in Austin, Texas during the 1980s, Greg Rampton had this to say in a letter to the editor of the Salt Lake Tribune dated April 24, 2007:

Like the lame canard that puts J.E. Hoover in drag, the rumor/claim that Rove fed me info on opponents of his political clients so I would investigate them is a crock, and an insult to us both. For the record, Rove never gave me any leads on any politician - I did investigate a "bug" found by a private detective in Rove's office but that was the extent of our relationship. Unfortunately, his political enemies added two and two and came up with five (Rampton). The juries that convicted the politicians I investigated there seemed to agree.

P.S. Rove didn't plant the "bug" in his office, either.
