from his involvement in a break-in at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s

And even that wording is a real stretch. From what I remember, O'Keefe and his colleagues used the pretext of being phone repairmen to gain access during office hours to the Senator's office in order to conduct an undercover investigation. That's not a "break-in" unless all those 60 Minutes episodes are also "break-ins".

In reality, I am sure that every day undercover investigators are lying about who they are in order to gain access to various offices, homes, etc. Somehow the government has no problem with that, but does have a problem with a citizen doing the same thing.

The way in which governmental organizations lend themselves to the coverups of the corruption of politicians is yet another thing that we need Donald Trump to end in order to Make America Great Again.

The last I knew, that's called "Trespass"
If the intent was to commit a crime, it is called "Criminal Trespass" .
Neither of them are felonies in this State, just misdemeanors.

And that was because Landrieu's office was ignoring calls from constituents, claiming that the "phones were down". So, some "phone repairmen" showed up to have a look at them.

The Queen was not amused....
