FBI Arrests James O'Keefe At Landrieu's Office
Jan 26 2010, 3:41 pm by Chris Good

<snip>

James O'Keefe, the conservative filmmaker who posed as a pimp in video stings at ACORN field offices, has been arrested by the FBI at Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-LA) office in downtown New Orleans, in connection to what appears to be an attempt to wiretap the offiice, NOLA.com reports:

FBI Special Agent Steven Rayes alleges that O'Keefe aided and abetted two others, Joseph Basel and Robert Flanagan, who dressed up as employees of a telephone company and attempted to interfere with the office's telephone system.

A fourth person, Stan Dai, was accused of aiding and abetting Basel and Flanagan. All four were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.


O'Keefe gained notoriety for his secretly filmed ACORN videos, which caused a firestorm of media intrigue surrounding ACORN after O'Keefe posted them on the Andrew-Brietbart-owned blog Big Government last year.

17. Arrested at her office in the act?
Amazing.

No wonder O'Keefe would not release the complete videos he made at the Acorn offices. He and Breitbart lied about what he did and what he cut out of the videos. What a typical Republican.

18. Well thank goodness he was not trying to use medical MJ. He'll walk ....
After all the Repubs have a history of breaking into Democratic computers and stealing confidential information, and none of those miscreants went to jail.

He must have figured that the Constitution gives him the right to wiretap any Democratic politician he likes... just like the Bush Admin did while in office.
