Sounds to me as if Breitbart knows something, and is laying the groundwork for another attack on the left, not to mention Obama’s FBI stooges, Eric Holder, and the MSM.
Maybe they thought they were setting up O’Keefe, but O’Keefe was really setting THEM up?
Clearly O’Keefe is a risk taker, or he wouldn’t have gotten into this kind of business in the first place. But I don’t think he’s stupid, and the original allegations suggested that he and his friends did something VERY stupid.
Breitbart was the guy who orchestrated the release of the ACORN videos, and ensured that they really made the big time and weren’t just ignored, as the MSM would have preferred to do. Is he doing that again? Is that why they’re trying to relegate this to p. 73?
Speaking of which, I doubt if any of them has a p. 73 any more, since they are all reducing sizes and saving paper and desperately trying to cut their losses.
My theory;
I think that they were pretending to be Telephone repair people because apparently Landrieus office is impossible to reach by phone. I suspect, and this is a WAG mind you, that in fact the office phones were busied out by the staff. The result of which is that no one can call the office unless they know another number. I suspect they were filming Landrieus receptionist filing her nails, surfing the net and assorted other things rather than take calls.
The “tampering” I suspect was their “repairman” verifying that the phone did in fact work and that if the office CHOSE to, they could take calls at any time yet they had forwarded all calls to voicemail or something of the sort.
Reading the affidavit, I saw that they were charged with trespassing among other minor charges. Protesters routinely get arrested for this are are typically released after 3 days for time served.
I wonder how much is actually going to stick, especially once the video hits.
I would not want to be the judge sentencing them to any sort of time after it is shown that contrary to Landrieus claims, they were literally polishing their nails while the people were blocked from contacting their representative.
BONUS Conspiracy Theory; I bet that the “accomplice” that was in the car a block or two away was busily calling Landrieus office over and over and they were filming the attempts to call along with scenes of the receptionist updating her Facebook while voicemail was telling callers that no lines were available.
I could be wrong but I do think that this is very close to what did and will happen.

LOL. do any of the MSM fishwraps go beyond page “A8” now???
I’m definitely hoping/expecting that this turns out to be another O’Keefe sting against the sordid left
showing them wildly over-reacting in their partisan ways, discrediting the media (as though they can be discredited any further), and probably also drawing a spotlight onto Landrieu’s office in NOLA.... maybe for their connections to ACORN?
considering the elaborate and ingenious way in which O’Keefe got the ACORN scum disgracing themselves on camera over and over again, I strongly suspect that this episode is going to end up as a huge embarrassment for the libs
