There was never a wiretap or as far as I read, never even a credible allegation. My theory is that they were trying to steal the log of phone calls kept in the memory of the phone. Or perhaps speed dial allocations. That way O’Keefe can run a story saying, “Landrieu called ACORN ___times...”. TO which the Senator denies and then they spring the evidence.
Now they get a case before the judge in which they will have to promise to behave to stay out of jail and get the record erased. Imagine O’Keefe being made to volunteer at an ACORN or other “community activism” project. From now on he will have to keep his nose clean so he will have to tip-toe. They will win by causing him to be timid and careful.
They should thwart the Fed’s efforts by saying screw you, do the 6 months or so and flip the bird on the perp walk in.
Thanks for the graph. I just e-mailed it to some friends. Probably ruined their day.
