That well may be the case, but, OKeef does not control the court system. When the smoke has cleared, it will be OKeef’s ass in prison. Not the fbi.
| A little more info here: ACORN Foe Charged in Sen. Phone Hack Plot A source tells CBS News that the aim was apparently to try to catch Sen. Landrieu talking negatively about her constituents. A federal law enforcement official said one of the suspects was picked up in a car a couple of blocks away with a listening device that could pick up transmissions. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not part of an FBI affidavit that described the circumstances of the case.

Senator Landrieu was concerned that her offices had been bugged by FBI, on Holder’s orders? (and therefore on Obama’s orders?).
Somehow this concern was communicated to William J. Flanagan (US attorney for western Louisiana).
In turn, he accidentally or purposely reveal this information to his son, Robert.
Robert then conspired with O’Keefe and a couple of other conservative wise-guys to reveal the FBI wiretapping operation.
Their plan? A purposely clumsy attempt to pose as telephone repairmen and tamper with the phones. They knew that if the FBI had wiretapped the phones, the FBI would be there in a matter of minutes.
At which point O’Keefe would use his cell phone to make a video of the FBI agents showing up.
In other words, O’Keefe, etc may have been springing a trap.
Thanks for putting it together for me! This outline makes all kinds of sense to me! All these guys are educated, intelligent, rational and activists with good careers in focus - I just don’t believe they would have jumped into a potential federal prison sentence and life ruining felonies without a CYA.
