The second sweep, according to the Democratic officials, found a radio signal near the chairman's office that indicated there might be a listening device outside the office.
"We were told that this was something that could pick up calls from cellphones," a DNC official says.
"The guys who did the sweep said it was a strong indication."
No device was recovered. No possible culprits were identified.
The DNC sent a report with the technical details to the FBI, according to the DNC officials. "We believe it's been given by the bureau to another agency with three letters to examine," the DNC official says. "We're not supposed to talk about it."
A Democratic consultant who has done work for the DNC, who asked not to be identified, says he was recently informed about the suspected bugging.
The DNC officials will not say what countermeasures were subsequently taken. "As a general policy, we don't talk about such efforts," the other DNC official says.
But this official adds, "You have to take all of this incredibly seriously."
The first DNC official notes, "We are the oldest political party in this country, and we are under constant attack from Russia and/or maybe others."

This is a bit fishy..maybe a bit CT but considering what we now know of the FBI...
"No device was recovered. No possible culprits were identified"
Maybe the FBI rats were the ones that bugged the DNC & blamed it on an unreachable foreign hacking group.
"Back to Watergate?"
