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.

THIS IS BIG: The Trail May End In The Oval Office

Ronbo, FBI legal taps are made through the main distribution hubs. I think the one for this area is in Texas, but it's been a lone time since I did work for phone companies and for all I know they can do it with a computer at Quantico now.

There would be nothing that these kids could have done to alert the FBI that they were messing with the phones and cause them to "come running" as was assumed.

But I don't dispute that her phones may likely be tapped. She is under suspicion for at least a half dozen investigations that I know of and most of these go as far as the State governors office and some stem from Katrina and her brother.

I don't think there is any thing here but a blatant attempt by media to discredit this young reporter/producer, and there may well be a connection to the democrat operatives in NO and the local party apparatus.. It could be that he was there only to record a event that he had been tipped about, and it was blown because the phones they, the kids were using were tapped.

Lastly, the FBI has offices in this building if I recall correctly. This is just one reason why they reacted to this fake telephone guy ruse so strongly. I don't think Okeefe is dumb enough to have planned this, but I could be wrong.

We will have to wait until formal charges are filed to get more of the picture. If charges are filed at all, or just run through as local misdemeanor false representation and entry. These folks in Louisiana play a version of hardball that would surprise most civilized people. They don't take prisoners and they ruin lives as a hobby and sport.
