The FBI, alleging a plot to wiretap Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office in downtown New Orleans, arrested four people Monday, including James O'Keefe, a conservative filmmaker whose undercover videos at ACORN field offices severely damaged the advocacy group's credibility.
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 fedral property under false pretenses with the intent of committing a felony.
A witness from Landrieu's staff said O'Keefe was present in the office and claimed to be "waiting for someone to arrive."

I think you are correct, my friend. You just know that ACORN and the rats are trying to figure out some way to get this guy.
The sentence DOES parse without the word “they”. But it says that the FBI agents were working with the two in phone company uniforms.
Something about this story seems strange.
If true, this is weapons-grade stupidity. The Obama Admin will hang him from the media rostrum for display through Nov 2010. What a fool.
“You just know that ACORN and the rats are trying to figure out some way to get this guy.”
The only one who worries me is Holder. He is pure whore, and pure evil.
Juicier and juicier.
I am hoping we are not getting the whole story and that he is innocent.
Lying is not always illegal.
“I just think we need to stand up for justice, rule of law, and honestly - and not check the R or D in front of the name of the accused.”
Of course, justice and the rule of law is critical.
The Senator in question has respect for neither and is a corrupt sleazbag willing to prostitute herself out for the right $$.
“The ‘RATs are gonna be ALL OVER this one... Watergate II. “
EVEN if this kid did, which I doubt. IMO he was mostly likely framed. This act PALES in comparison to the things this Senator admitted to. This act also pales in comparison to what is happening with Acorn.
We need to quit attacking people fighting the good fight and focus on the evil communists seeking to put us in the ovens.
"After being asked, the staffer gave Basel access to the main phone at the reception desk."
"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."
Too much to assume that "witness 1" who thought something fishy was going down and allowed it to happen would be in trouble too?
I would just like to say......GREAT JOB IN UNITING THE COUNTRY BARRY!!!
Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Yeah, no kidding.
The one that was NOT seen being released, was Flanagan whose Father is the U.S. Attorney.
Very interesting parse...
The FBI arresting someone for illegal wiretap..oh the irony.
That, we do.
If this is a frame up by the Democommies, and I smell a big ACORN rat already, it will be the Leftards and maybe the corrupt FBI/US Attorney would will be jacked against the wall, mark my words.
I'll mark your words, and hope to heck that you're right.
