Report: Specter Done With Spygate

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Sen. Arlen Specter told the Philadelphia Daily News he's done with Spygate.

Specter told the paper's editorial board Monday that "I've gone as far as I can," looking into allegations that the New England Patriots taped other teams' defensive signals.

Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wanted an independent investigation of the Patriots similar to the Mitchell Report on performance enhancing drugs in baseball.

He told the paper the Judiciary Committee already has "too much to do."

Specter has been critical of the NFL's handling of the investigation and had threatened the possibility of revoking the league's antitrust exemption last month.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he considered the investigation over after meeting with former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh in May.
