Wouldn’t surprise me if they throw the book at O’Keefe and lock him up forever. The narrative becomes focused on the creepy felon making an illegal recording, as a warning that nobody try a politically incorrect stunt like that again.
Why can’t he just call himself a journalist? Journalists used to do undercover stings all the time.
Depends who you are. Al Gore gets off with the “iced tea” defense on the Buddhist nun political contributions, whereas B0 critic Dinesh D’Souza gets the supermax felony.
Does anybody remember Abscam from the late 1970’s? FBI agents posed as reps of wealthy Arab sheiks and offered bribes in return for political favors. Large group of politicians, including one US senator and 5 Congressmen were convicted of bribery and conspiracy.
Since that time I was convinced that Saudi money could buy enough influence to destroy us. I also believed that Saudi/commie/dirty/drug money was controlling the environmental “green” movement.
His answer to her question about possible prosecution seemed to satisfy her concern.
Kelly does keep things "fair and balanced"--but she gets very passionate when it comes to Veternans' rights! Her show is definitely worth watching!
For those who want to see a video showing how horizontal drilling and fracking is done, Northern Gas and Oil has a great one. It’s 6 minutes.
It includes a visual piece on how fresh water aquifers are protected from contamination.

"We don't kiss the ring of the cultural elites. We don't get drunk at White House correspondents dinners. Our only mission is to expose the fraud against the American people. I will never stop doing that until the day I die. After the next release, they may raise the stakes. I say bring it, you fascists!"
Come to think of it, it would be hilarious to rank leftists according to what would have been their National Socialist rank and uniform. First figure out their rank, then do cut and paste with the appropriate uniform. Make a website that shows them as such.
A lot of them would get pissed off, less about being portrayed as fascists, but that their rank was too low. Those egotistical fools all think they would have been one of Hitler’s top deputies, instead of some petty deputy assistant Gauleiter out in nowhere, eastern Europe.
“But they don’t understand! I’m a friend of Obama! I even shook hands with him once! I should at least be ranked as an unter-Reichsführer, third class!”
Good one. Funny! Follows perfectly with the rest of the conversations.

I don’t see much difference between what he did and, say, Candid Camera or Pranked as far as legality. but I’d rather it backfire and the FBI investigate the conspiracy to moneylaunder instead
I see that post now, and it says 9h ago. I swear it wasn’t there when I posted my comment 7 hours ago.
Nice idea, maybe as a deck of cards like they did way back for the terrorists (foreign) who wanted to destroy America.
But there are so many you’d have to have a bunch of decks: the Journalism deck, the Opinion deck, the Legislative deck, the Think-Tank Deck, the Showbiz deck, the Funding deck, the Union deck...
