One of my first thoughts which as usual was a touch cynical was:-
Graham is a politician, he would no doubt like a nice juicy scandal to come from this, that way if all goes well after fanning the flames and giving us all this info' he can take the praise for exposing the goings on in his local council, however just as a bit of insurance in case the whole plan goes belly up, if he gets us to do the initial contacting he can go into denial mode thus keeping his own record clean.
As I say though that was just a cynical thought on my behalf and is obviously not part of the plan at all!
