Sometimes the way to get information is for people to think that you know something already. Good reporting requires development and getting information and verification from multiple sources, and cross checking. It is not about the 'gotcha' moment - that is why Tim Russert was well loved - he tried to be fair, honest, tough and get to the truth of a matter.
