Speak Of The Devil! ACORN 'Documentary' Maker Charged In Sen. Landrieu Wiretap Try
Well, looky here! Can't wait to hear how he tries to talk his way out of this one - and of course, his arrest will be prominently featured on every media outlet that cooperated in his ACORN smear:
Alleging a plot to tamper with phones in Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office in the Hale Boggs Federal Building in downtown New Orleans, the FBI arrested four people Monday, including James O'Keefe, 25, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group's credibility.
Also arrested were Joseph Basel, Stan Dai and Robert Flanagan, all 24. Flanagan is the son of William Flanagan, who is the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Louisiana, the office confirmed. All four were charged with entering federal property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.
Flanagan is believed to be an employee of the Pelican Institute, a libertarian "faux" think tank where O'Keefe spoke this week. I wonder: how does a U.S. Attorney's son argue this was "poor judgment," as his attorney tried to spin it.
According to the FBI affidavit, Flanagan and Basel entered the federal building at 500 Poydras Street about 11 a.m. Monday, dressed as telephone company employees, wearing jeans, fluorescent green vests, tool belts, and hard hats. When they arrived at Landrieu's 10th floor office, O'Keefe was already in the office and had told a staffer he was waiting for someone to arrive.
When Flanagan and Basel entered the office, they told the staffer they were there to fix phone problems. At that time, the staffer, referred to only as Witness 1 in the affadavit, observed O'Keefe positioning his cell phone in his hand to videotape the operation. O'Keefe later admitted to agents that he recorded the event.
After being asked, the staffer gave Basel access to the main phone at the reception desk. The staffer told investigators that Basel manipulated the handset. He also tried to call the main office phone using his cell phone, and said the main line wasn't working. Flanagan did the same.
They then told the staffer they needed to perform repair work on the main phone system and asked where the telephone closet was located. The staffer showed the men to the main General Services Administration office on the 10th floor, and Flanagan and Basel went in. There, a GSA employee asked for the men's credentials, after which they stated they left them in their vehicle.
The U.S. Marshal's Service apprehended all four men shortly thereafter.
Dave N.: Hmmm. Wonder how Andrew Breitbart and Glenn Beck -- who have relied heavily on O'Keefe's work to smear ACORN -- will respond. One can only imagine the cries of persecution that will be erupting shortly.
One can't help but be impressed by O'Keefe's investigative-journalism technique. If only the rest of us poor schlubs had realized something O'Keefe obviously learned the first time around: You can get away with breaking the law if you can get it up on Fox News first.
I'm sure O'Keefe was banking on that this time around, too. Ooopsie.
Media Matters has a flashback: 31 House Republicans Supported Resolution Honoring Alleged Felon James O'Keefe.
An official close to the investigation said one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senator's offices. He spoke on condition of anonymity because that information was not included in official arresting documents.

there's nothing we can do

I just made an OT post on another thread about this. Me thinks O'Keefe may have gone a little too far on this stunt. Wiretapping is a serious charge. I would give my left nut to see this guy go to jail.

If the two 'phone company' guys didn't have credentials once they were questioned on the 10th floor, what creds did they have to enter a federal building? I used to work as a court reporter in a federal building and even though the guards knew me they always checked my ID and my equipment. You don't just walk through the lobby.

Why was he recording it on his cell phone camera? Was he going to say the Senator's office would let anyone in to screw with the phones? Was this going to be his defense or something? Or was he going to edit the tape for other purposes?

According to his words he didn't know if he broke the law when he filmed ACORN workers. But I'm sure he will know this time he broke the law. I do believe this is a federal offense. Will be interesting to see if he and his buddies get out of this one.

before his rich daddy or uncle or state senator gets him lawyered up with some high powered conservative ass holes; he stands before a right wing judge appointed by Bush/Cheney; is allowed out because he is a fine citizen (aka - connected white man) and is appearing on fox and any other whore media outlet that will be clamoring to hear from him.
He WILL become a right-wing hero and the whole story will be spun that he was just doing his journalistic duty to expose - well, who knows what. Some nefarious progressive plot out of the office of one of the most conservative Senators in DC.
But she's a dem, damn it, so something must be going on.
Perhaps he was searching for terrorists hiding in telephones.

I don't know why, but Dick Cheney's name just popped into my head.
Gonzales, Yoo, Rummy, Ashcroft, Scooter, Rove. None of these guys would have ever thought of doing something like this.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I remember something about his office in the Cong Building needing extensive remodeling after he left it. Purportedly to take out all his listening devices.
With the whole trunk of the Web going through NSA's hands why do they need to use old fashioned wiretaps? Dollars to donuts the cong office phones use VoIP. So they are already being recorded. And with the provision that "only out of country calls" were being recorded, and the fact that Blackberries all go through Canadian based routers (out of country) you can bet that Rove had his hands on Obama's textings, and has cong's texts, emails and voice messages now.
On that note maybe the lost emails weren't even to or from Rove, maybe they were copies of all the Democrat's emails.
ya, or they can all scramble their phone lines. As far as i know anyone can do so if they feel like they may be being eavesdropped upon, or just don't want anyone listening in by "accident".
Another way to ensure you don't have bugs listening in your domain is to "jam" the hidden microphones with RF or white noise.
Email can always be sent encrypted, and the list goes on.
The Republican is a virus.

I hope that they throw away the key but I know that they won't. This little rat should be used as cannon fodder in the ongoing wars that we fight. He can go down with all of the other American hero wiretappers from Watergate. Someday he can even be a talking asshole like Gordon Libby. All the stupid people, when will they ever learn?

How many co-conspirators are there?
Are FOX News, Andeew Breitbart, The National Republican Committee, Glen Beck, Rush and other right-wingers paying the pimp and many others to commit politically inspired crimes against Democrats? After all these groups already pay this guy. SO How many other 'plumbers' are there tapping away or spying on Dems for the GOP and FOX?
How can the FBI, Homeland Security or Justice Department successfully investigate this given that they are full of Bush/Cheney moles?
What about an independent Prosecutor? After all the GOP did that to find out about the presidential blow-job, didn't they?
Will Congress repeal the Anti-ACORN law - passed with out evidence or even an arrest let alone any conviction of a crime?
Will Congress pass a law against these right-wing law breakers who control the right-wing media machine?

I think the closest we get is "Interference with official acts". These morons are looking at a slew of charges and the one that will hurt them the most is "conspiracy", because prosecutors never drop conspiracy charges and American juries love to convict on "conspiracy". As there were three or more involved in this illegal act, they will get walloped with conspiracy.
Another caveat is that they can also be charged with domestic terrorism and conspiracy to commit domestic terrorism. That one will scare the shit out of them and their supporters.
Now, if the prosecutor wants to get really nasty, he can charge them under the Federal R.I.C.O. statutes, which means that any monies paid to them or gifts received by them for this endeavor are forfeit.

Yet another pawn falls for the right wing bait and switch.
Did Obama actually sign into law the bills passed by Congress to defund Acorn?
Note that the bills disappeared from discussion once that was observed.
Well if we defunded Xe (formerly Blackwater), that would be some added benefit. Still, no one in Acorn has actually even been arrested for wrongdoing as far as I know. Also unlike Blackwater, they definitely haven't killed anyone. Hopefully, Congress grows a pair and undoes what it did to Acorn.
A federal judge already undid it, she ruled the Defund Acorn Act was an unconstitutional bill of attainder in December. (My first reply went to the bottom of the comments for some reason.)
I so hope they have felony records until they eventually get them expunged.
Yes that's right. The black folks in Baltimore walk around dressed like they are extra's in a Superfly move. The kid is an idiot. All that Rutgers education and he can't do enough research to figure out that no pimp dresses like that. And I suspect the right-wing girl approached him with the idea so she could get on FOX dressed like a hooker. The situation was comical. White kid dressed in 70"s blacksplotation gear with his ho on his arm walking around in a black neighborhood. Of course the ACORN staff were playing this fool. What is pathetic is so many dumb conservatives took the ACORN staff seriously. Well maybe they will get how stupid this kid is now. Well, actually, maybe not. They will probably think he is a victim.
Democrats in Congress took it seriously too. Complete Fail by the Democrats to stand up to conservative echo chamber. The only reason repugs went after ACORN is because they registered people likely to vote for Democrats. End of story. KBR builds showers repeatedly known to electrocute our troops and not a peep is heard from the repugs.

This is my first comment here after a longtime reading C&L.
I went to the Federal building at about 11:15 and saw a HUGE security presence and had no idea what was going on. I occasionally eat at the cafeteria in the basement (it's under renovation right now).
There's a couple of local implications. Namely, Mary's brother is running for mayor and a lot of Louisiana Republicans see him as a threat to Bobby Jindal. Here's the grand-pappy of NOLA-bloggers talking about the incident more:

How they got into the federal building. It's not easy to do that.

"The Big Easy" for nothing. When I was there, shit was lax. I don't know about Fed Bldg access, but I felt the atmosphere in NOLA over all was an easy-going one.
I guess we'll have to wait for Big Pimpin's cell phone film to be released for the answer. I'll bet they just showed regular IDs. I go into our Fed Bldg from time to time, and I've only showed ID, was never logged.
me-oww!
Fox News ran a statement from O'Keefe's lawyer talking about what a great kid he was, you know, like how they featured statements by people who talked about all the good work that ACORN does... oh, wait, never mind.
Yeah, how about those federal and state buildings with the nice security cameras in the lobbies. I mean nobody could ever accuse you of being there if you wern't. tee hee

O'Keefe couldn't get in to the Player's Ball with a "pimp" outfit like that. Makes me wonder what their "telephone repairman" costumes looked like. No wonder they got caught. This story is priceless!
They were wearing phone company uniforms for outside work -- not inside work -- so somebody fell down on security duty or it was an inside job.

Let's hope that the feds refer your case back to LA and that you end up 10-20 in Angola where you'll be stuffed with neonazi serial killers and child molesters and that( deleted SM)
O'Keefe, likely you are not going to survive prison life past the first assault from your prison mates, or at best linger in mortal pain. Best you figure out how to end it now painlessly before you're convicted and stuffed away to live the rest of your days as a sex toy for psychopaths.
Well, as a sex toy for psychopaths in prison, anyway.
Anyway, however you go, please go painfully and in terror of the eternity in hell that waits for you.
For starters, the talking heads say the sentencing starts at 10 years.
The DA for that area better throw the book at this little shit.
I already know they'll get off with a slap on the wrist.
They'll get suspended sentences. And Probation.
The fine will be hefty, but daddy war bucks will shell it all out to get them out. At least one or two of them. The ones who'll be left behind, better start talkin. Cause they're the ones who will take the fall for this.
I wonder, who will be the judge in this case/cases.
Gotta be a Bush appointee. There are so many things stacked in these clowns behalf it's not funny. That's why I doubt they'll see any real time.
But, illegally entering a Senators office, with the intent of bugging her phones, Hey, that's no small offense. That's a big time offense.
I hope these clowns get at least 20 years each. We'll see how they feel when they get out.
I want to know who they were really working for. Who was sponsoring them. G Gordon Liddy will be proud.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
O'Keefe will probably be filling in for Limbaugh in a few days.
Either that, or he'll get his own slot on FauxNews.
Or perhaps his own radio show....
He said, "I am a journalist. The truth will set me free."
Frankly, I hope the truth DOES set him free...after about 15 years as a guest of the federal government.
Unfortunately, he'll probably only get a slap on the wrist.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......
(takes breath)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
A federal judge ruled the Defund Acorn Act was an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder, so they're starting to get federal funding again.
