How Did FBI Know What Lester Said


When they were threatening Lester into ratting, how was Agent Bird able to to quote Lester verbatim (y'all left me a.... but at least I shot me a...) when nobody from the sht-kickers side had started talking yet?

When the black FBI agent "kidnapped" the mayor -- he got the whole story. They used those details to turn Lester.
