James O'Keefe went on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last night and was sticking to his story: He and his gang of "phone repairmen" were just there to try to get to the bottom of Landrieu's claim that her phone lines were jammed.
But when Hannity asked him to describe the arrest and the facts of the case in detail, he clammed up, saying it was the subject of a federal investigation? Well, yeah, but if that's a problem, why go on a national news show in the first place?
Most of all, he not only refused to corroborate Andrew Bretibart's claims that he was held without access to an attorney, but he contradicted Brietbart's conspiracy theory that the DOJ was out to get him by saying: "I have no complaints about how the U.S. attorney is handling this."
These guys need to get their stories straight, dontcha think?
Hope you enjoy jail. You little asshole.
Nope. These guys are all cowards. That's why Bretibart's got his knickers all in a knot.
This kid is gonna turn state's evidence and throw Bretibart under the bus. THAT'S why their "spin" is so different. The kid isn't going to piss off the feds by crying "conspiracy" cause he's tryin' to cop a plea.
This could potentially get REALLY interesting.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
Fox News will change the subject and hope people don't notice.
An article published yesterday implies that the prosecutor recused himself because of charges made by Breitbart. It is all a lie which I rip apart here:
Fox News And Breitbart Smear O’Keefe Prosecutor.
They aren't pulling any punches. They charge the U.S. attorney with "framing" O'Keefe.
They must have something really awful to hide. Like maybe Breitbart's participation in the Landrieu affair - or even Glenn Beck.
I doubt they have much to hide, they're just too goddamned smug. An arrest record will taint the boy's glorious career prospects in the non-wingnut media forever.
I wouldn't feel such antipathy towards a felony record, but with how he considers poor people pimps and prostitutes and unworthy of voting rights, he deserves fully to have his taken for his willful actions. Fuck him.
He's meeting the criteria for a Faux Nooz special guest.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
or G. Gordon Liddy .
"Fox News is already smearing the prosecutor."
That seems like a very bad idea. Normally Fox doesn't pick on people who could put one of their propagandists in jail.
I sincerely hope your intuition is right and Beck did overplay his hand. The arrogance of Fox suggests that they're bound to in the long run.
As a state witness James O'Keefe's would be utterly useless. Working with O'Keefe to nail somebody bigger would fail for sure, because any competent attorney (prosecution or defense) will turn this little idiot inside out with his own lies.
Far better to convict O'Keefe on the charges that the evidence makes a sure bet, then get his co-conspirators to testify where the money came from to finance their tool belts, as well as their nutty ideas.
If this kid is smart, he'll hire a food taster and a body guard...and pay both WELL.
He wouldn't want to end up like the DC Madam.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

whether o'Keefe is charged with anything other than a misdemeanor has everything to do with what his buddies did with the phones. That's what the FBI is currently investigating -- were they tapping the lines, did they use any devices -- that'd be a felony. If not, they'll probably get a slap on the wrist for malicious mischief or some such. I hope they find a bug as big as Arizona on those phone lines and slap those boys in a Federal pen. I also hope it's found that people at Fox conspired with O'Keefe.
That wasn't mentioned in the affidavit, but confirmed later, because the FBI is trying hard to keep all the evidence they have close to the vest. Why would anybody in the gang, parked several blocks away, have a listening device if there was no intent to listen secretly to conversations they were not privy to??? Even if all he was doing was verifying who was answering which phone-line, it was an invasion of privacy!
The suspicion is a bugging operation because of the listening device, but I think their intentions were more severe than that. Of course, I could be wrong... since that is the Federal Building, once inside the main phone closet, they could bug the USA and any other federal official who has an office in that building. However, bugging is tame and boring and time-consuming, whereas O'Keefe is flamboyant.
How did the Feds find Dai? Security cameras on the streets? Did they check all vehicles within a 5 miles radius of the Federal Building? Where was Wetmore during this adventure?
Whose car was it? Who bought the gear? What else besides the listening device was in the car? I'm assuming that the car was impounded since the lawyer gave the men money for a taxi.
Who purchased the reflective vests, hard hats, toolbelts, tools, cameras? Who installed cameras in the hard hats? Did they have clipboards, logbooks, namebadges with photos? Did these men fly in through layers of security with all this gear? Did they sign a logbook and walk past internal security and cameras with all this gear?
If I was the prosecutor, I'd be thinking RICO. Even if they were caught because they were clumsy, SOMEBODY put this plan in motion: gathering and training men across state lines, ordering and purchasing equipment across state lines, providing money and motivation. Given ALL the potential targets in the United States, why would O'Keefe choose Landrieu or the Hale Boggs Building??? I doubt that he chose the target. Somebody did.
Where was O'Keefe when the other 2 guys followed the receptionist to the GSA office? Did she leave him alone with the phones, appointment calendar, etc., at the front desk? No blame to her: receptionists are hired to be helpful. I hope the Feds fingerprinted the entire office!
Wetmore, their mentor and host, was ordering a robodialer and other tech gadgetry a few years back. I suspect that these CREEPS were trying to detect all phone numbers, listed and unlisted for the Senator's office. A robodialer on all lines could then create serious mischief: constantly ringing phones would drive the staff to distraction... and as soon as they stopped answering them, O'Keefe would have his "evidence" that the staff was ignoring constituents. Meanwhile a Senator on the Homeland Security Committee can't receive phone calls... creating a REAL hazard in any emergency. And, the constituents would only get busy signals, making them furious. The flamboyant Mr O'Keefe would get some choice video before sauntering on to his next trick.
Of course those Republican operatives who tied up the phone lines in that 2002 election probably gave this gang some ideas. Raymond even wrote a book on how to do it, and Tobin wasn't even indicted until 6 years after the crime.
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/200...
O'Keefe may think that all he was doing was getting some video, however, somebody with ill intent set this in motion, and elections are coming up. This is far from an innocent prank... and these are trained operatives.

And if this concerned citizen really cared about the senator's phone lines, then why not hire someone, you know, qualified to check them?

I don't know what Breitbart would have expected to see, other than the obvious ratfuckery, a cisco or two?
LOL, I thought about that too. And I'm hoping they have VoIP in that office which would make the whole thing farking ridiculous. :-)
Do you know of they have POTS or VoIP?
No, neither O'Keefe nor Hannity needs to keep his story straight. They are both playing to the cognitively impaired. Everyone who can find his/her way out of a paper bag has already written these two yahoos off as the rat-fuckers that they are.

that it took this long for this kid to show up on FOX. I can't imagine his attorney wanting him talking anywhere. But, it's fitting that he appear on Hannity. It seems Sean is having a rough time these days. He has been almost forgotten as Beck and Limbaugh seem to be getting all the media attention. Wouldn't it be better for the country if the media forgot all about Beck and Limbaugh too. If we ignored these cretins, surely their self life would expire a lot sooner. Aas for O'Keefe, let's hope some staffer in the prosecutor's office is recording all these appearances and all his text entries.

These guys need to clarify what exactly they were doing. They initially said they, disguised as phone repair men, were checking to see if Landrieu's office phones were broken.
Where and how did they come up with the idea that the phones were broken? Probably nowhere, that was their misrepresentation to get hands on access to the phone system in the Senator's office and in the building's wiring.
Why did they need to get their hands on the phones and the phone's wiring, in order to observe whether the Senator's staff were answering the phones?
The answer is of course they didn't need hands on access just to observe so there had to be a reason for hands on access, and the possible reasons all fall into the realm of criminal actions.
"people complained they couldn't get Landrieu's office to answer the phone to take their complaints about Health Care Reform .. AFTER she received $300 million to buy her vote .."

The United Hates of America
Reflections on the leftist-Islamist alliance, as illuminated by Jamie Glazov’s book United in Hate.
May 12, 2009 - by David Solway
Jamie Glazov’s United in Hate is a serious book and deserves serious attention. Mulling it over, I recalled reading a newspaper article about some domestic calamity or other that had befallen the United States and tripping over a providential typo — the United States was misspelled as the “Untied States,” an apt metathesis or anagram. Which fits in pretty well with Glazov’s argument and which suggests another felicitous misprint we might stumble across one of these days: the “United Hates of America.”
________________
common sense matters as much as truth
that this arrogant little prick gets the book thrown at him. I hope that he is sentenced to a very long time in prison. I hope he learns what it is to be some killer's "bitch". I hope his actions haunt him for a very long time.
But he'll likely never be prosecuted, because this was all a misunderstanding.......
I know if I couldn't get through to my local electric company by phone I would dress up like a electrical repairman and go down to their offices to inquire into what was wrong.
I mean seriously, his rationale doesn't make sense. Maybe they thought when they said they were repairmen the offices workers would laugh and say there was nothing wrong with the phones, they just weren't answering them. Maybe he had no intention of messing with the phones and his biggest crime, aside from getting in the place under a disguise, was being really stupid.

O'Keefe admits they posed as phone company employees. That proves the first part of the charge, entering federal premises under false pretenses.
Now, apparently, when they were directed to a GSA office elsewhere in the building, O'Keefe and the others promptly went there, instead of bailing and calling their 'sting' a blowout. And, because there was nothing wrong with the phones, doubtless both the GSA staff and building security were alerted to their presence. Continuing with their plan to gain access to the phone equipment room may be enough to fulfill 'intent to commit a felony.'
they would know the visit to the phone closet was to case it before they came back. Just like the 9/11 hijackers dry run flights.
Either that or they were doing a documentary of the torture of Craig James's son at Texas Tech and were scouting utility closet locations.

Simply put, in all the reports and by their own admission they not only posed as telephone repairmen in a Federal Building and Senators office, but they grabbed the receptionists telephone and were handling this phone pretending to test it for problems.
Thus they interfered with the telephone at the receptionist desk, sufficient enough to cause a disruption in the office operation and procedures (if only for a few minutes).
Additionally, if dressed as telephone repairmen, they must have been carrying some tools, which clearly O'Keefe was very nervous to answer this question directly.
... how does being remanded into the custody of his parents allow time/opportunity for an appearance on Hannity? Theoretically, either Mommy or Daddy has to drive him to the studio and keep an eye on him.

Oh COME ON! He is an overexposed, over pampered, and overindulged waste . Any working class schmoe who pulled half of the crap he pulled would be doing more than 72 hours in a low security jail. Maybe his parents have been bailing him out of trouble for years and the reality is this self centered monster now thinks he can run roughshod over people without consequence. To listen to the whining you would think he was doing it all for the sake of journalism. A martyr. Plezzzzzzz.
Life isn't fair blah -blah….
Hope you enjoy cleaning toilets in a prison in Jerkwater Missouri.
Suck it up you 25 years old whiner ……….!!!

The fact that this little rightwing weasel is on Fake News, just shows how arrogant, entitled, and down right stupid he is.
I'm sure the wingnut welfare legal team is taking up his cause. Wonder if his lawyer is thinking "what the hell are you doing you dumbass!"
Somehow, I don't think this little twerp would be so brazen after a stint in the big house; especially after being passed around as change for cigarettes!
If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.
@ Phoenix Justice. This is the gag order the little creep deserves.
Congresscritter on a Homeland Security Committee. Obviously he is a spy and should be prosecuted as such.
but I think James O'Keefe is looking presidential.
"Culture is not your friend."
The peoples office??? The whitehouse is also called the people house but try and enter dressed as a phone man and no doubt you will be arrested. No matter how O Keefe spins this he trespassed on federal property. Hannity is such an A**. he has no education and tries to ask questions like an attorney. Why didn't big mouth Hannity ask if he thought this violated the Patriot act?

... by pulling a page right out of the nixonian rat-fuckers he and his sugar daddy blog sponsor love: by bugging her office in order to 'listen' to her blocking the calls...
and he continues to say 'this is all a misunderstanding'
yes - to him its a 'misunderstanding' because you see, he's white, and wealthy, and a repug - and folks like him don't go to jail - you can recognize the people who should be in jail based upon the colour of their skin donchyano...
Since he'll probably be a convicted felon, I guess he will be careful before committing another felony.
Slime balls can never answer direct questions about the facts, and use the standard "I can't answer that because of an ongoing investigation" when in reality it means I PLEAD THE FUCKING FIFTH.
One of the rat pack was wearing a hat with a hidden camera. Takes pretty extensive pre-arranging to do.
An attorney, I believe I saw it on msnbc said most likely they will be charged with a misdemeanor.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Because its ok if its a republican who breaks the law.
Taking any bets?
Republicans are liars and simply cannot be trusted.
pissed off patricia - if they are charged with misdemeanors then they might as well not even bother. I mean what is the point?
Howdey Doody was sitting in Landrieu's outer office with his cell phone.
He uses his cell phone to phone Landrieu's outer office.
Then he sees what happens.
Maybe the receptionists answers and talks directly to him, or maybe not. Receptionists can't recept if they are tied up on the phone all the time.
If not he has no way to know how many phones are used for calls to the listed office number, or whether all of those phones are situated in the outer office where he can see them.
So he phones and either his call is answered, or it is put in a que, or it goes to voice mail or he gets a busy signal.
And he has then proved absolutely nothing. Because he doesn't know how the office and the phone system works. He has no way to know if there are multiple phones. There are certain to be unlisted numbers.
So naturally to fill in the blanks in his knowledge of how the office works, he runs down the hall to admire the wiring in a locked utility room, but not to meddle with it in any way.
And after all that he has no way to know if or how many calls from conservatives were received by the office, how many calls from non conservatives were received by the office during the period he was there, how they were segregated, and no way of knowing how those calls were handled.
Anything more then a slap on the wrist is playing partisan politics. Make an example of them to send a message: domestic or foreign, its a serious offense.
