The basis of the story is the FBI complaint, which is obviously flawed, and a careful reading would indicate that O’Keefe did nothing illegal. I think there is a very good chance that the U.S. Attorney will drop the case after a few months of reflection, because if it comes to trial O’Keefe and Company are going to turn it into a three-ring circus. After all, O’Keefe is the “Abbie Hoffman” of the Right.
It wasn’t a complaint, it was an affidavit. In the FBIs affidavit it quotes specific criminal violations that were allegedly committed. And it won’t be the US Atty of NO or that district who will dismiss the case because one of the suspects was his son.
Well, my fault for not reading the FBI complaint to spot the flaws. There are only so many hours in the day, and an avalanche of news that just never stops.
Thanks for sharing your insight.
