Fran Rizzo said on camera today, with a slight smile, that he expects this to go much higher - "they start with the small fish at the bottom and try to get to the big ones at top - the sharks" - maybe as high as former mayor Rendell?.......
Seems Rendel has been questioned concerning another FBI probe

Indictments Possible in Mayor's Probe
May 20, 2004 — Action News has learned the citywide federal corruption probe is close to producing indictments.
And we've learned that federal investigators have opened a much wider probe involving the state legislature in Harrisburg. At City Hall today, Mayor Street was mobbed by reporters with questions about the city probe.
Action News has learned the investigation may continue for quite some time, but indictments will start coming from the investigating grand jury before the summer.
Sources say the FBI and other investigators have been working feverishly, completing about two years worth of investigative work in six months.
We've also learned that the FBI has opened a far-reaching second probe into what's known in Harrisburg as walking around money, or WAMS.
WAMS are tax dollars made available to state lawmakers, with little accountability, to hand out like candy for special projects in their home districts.
Public outcry ten years ago changed the practice, but it still exists, with WAMS now called Legislative Initiative Money. Governor Rendell says his staff has been questioned.
Rendell says investigators wanted to know who signs off on the money, who gets it and how it's accounted for. He would not say if the FBI was interested in specific legislators or all of them.
