The boss is skeptical, as am I. Remember when I said earlier that their defense would likely be that they never really intended to tap any phones but were simply trying to show how easy it would be to do so? Well, er…
An official close to the investigation said one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senator’s offices. He spoke on condition of anonymity because that information was not included in official arresting documents…
ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said the arrest calls O’Keefe’s credibility into question, and used the opportunity to point out that he “edited (ACORN videos) to make things look as bad as possible.” He said, for instance, that O’Keefe actually wore a normal dress shirt when he was in the ACORN offices, but spliced in shots of him dressed as a pimp in the final videos.
O’Keefe, Flanagan, and Basel were all inside the building, according to the FBI affidavit, so the one with the listening device must have been Dai. Hugh Hewitt interviewed Breitbart about the arrests this afternoon, and while AB is crystal clear about that he didn’t know any of the other three men involved or what O’Keefe was up to, it’s less clear what the employment relation between them is.

Sounds like a little creative journalism to me.
More to this story than we are hearing here at first.
Didn’t something like this happen years ago in Fla or Geo when some wrinkled dems tapped into cell calls of republican officials?
Info ping.
What the heck are “life rights,” which is what Breitbart says he has on/gets from James O’Keefe? Is that like Mr. Peterman buying total and exclusive rights to Kramer’s personal anecdotes on “Seinfeld”?
Den of snakes down in LA. He was bound to get bitten.
Everyone needs to remember WHO we are dealing with here.
ACORN, Andy STERN (remember the persuasion of POWER crack)
Podesta. Has everyone forgotten the vids of SEIU-Acorn thugs in NO.
Do we really believe that Landreiu got 300,000 $$$$4 just for a VOTE.
Isn’t her hubby or some relative running for Mayor of NO.
Come on everyone, OKeefe unfortunately had better have been wearing a wire.
He has the whole criminal organization gunning for him.
When the Dummies hand you a present all neatly wrapped with a bow on top. You better start listening for the timebomb.
“The boss is skeptical, as am I. Remember when I said earlier that their defense would likely be that they never really intended to tap any phones but were simply trying to show how easy it would be to do so?”
That was one of my first thoughts. The only problem is that I can’t figure out what the point in that is.
How many times was Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton arrested and acoRN still loves them?
The Prisoner’s Dilemma, but with four actors.
Thanks. Monitoring.
“An official close to the investigation said one of the four was arrested with a listening device in a car blocks from the senator’s offices”
How convienent!!!!
Just happened to be in the car and just happened that FBI picked him out of the crowd. Uh huh. I smell a set up.
I’m afraid, whatever the outcome, the appearence is not good. This does nothing to help his other cases.
Didn’t something like this happen years ago in Fla or Geo when some wrinkled dems tapped into cell calls of republican officials?............................. Yes, that’s true. Haven’t heard much about it since and don’t think anything happened to the. If there was no prosecution it was Dems just doing their thing. Full scale investigations are one sided and usually occur on the Republican side, even for the silliest minor infractions. Acorn Damage Control found an opening, they’ll manage to get it related some how, just to get the heat off of them. With this administration it should be a piece of cake.
Exactly. There is something dirty about this.
Yep that’s my point.
Yes, that is what the FBI does, they set people up.
They set-up drug dealers, they set-up terrorists and they set-up crooked politicians.
And after these people are set-up by the FBI, they are sent to prison.
