When you read the FBI agent’s affidavit you see that he (O’Keefe) told “Witness 1”, a member of Landrieu’s staff, he was waiting for someone to arrive and was there before the other walked in. There’s no mention as to when or how the FBI was informed nor is there any evidence that O’Keefe or Flanigan or anybody for that matter were dealing with any “bugs” or listening devices. Also, according to the FBI agent’s affidavit, two individuals pretended to be phone company employees with the intention of bugging the phones but, aside from handling a phone in the office and going to the main office phone box there’s no evidence or proof that the intended to do anything of the sort. Right now they are only guily of gaining unlawful access to a federal building by portraying themselves as phone company workers.

We will see what a jury made up of O’Keefe’s peers in Orleans Parish has to say about the incident.

Exactly.

Right now technically James can bring his ACORN sting into the case, along with more *discovery* from this case.

Are the RATS prepared for this migraine? Right around primary elections? I suggest not.

"Right now they are only guily of gaining unlawful access to a federal building by portraying themselves as phone company workers."

Right now they're looking at ten years each - perhaps more if they find themselves at the business end of an enterprising prosecutor. Just wait until the grand jury is involved.

This was stupid, stupid, stupid. Any competent attorney who had even a little experience in media cases could have given them badly needed advice with their last set of adventures, and told them - unequivocally - that playing college pranks in a Senator's official offices is a big time no-no.
